Wise & Witty Wednesday

Here is today's wise & witty quote:
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." --Helen Keller

Speaking of life's adventures, little Stellan's latest adventure seems to be winding down somewhat. He's been moved to the step-down ICU and his breathing is getting much better. Here's MckMama's latest update: http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2008/12/movin-on-down.html

Oh, and also speaking of life's adventures, I'm going to try to get a "year in review" post done either later tonight or tomorrow...we'll see when it happens! We have company here tonight, so it might depend on when she leaves.

Well, I've gotta go finish supper. LOL, that reminds me of a game we played Christmas night. It's called "Imagine If...", and it has all these cards with crazy "imagine if" questions on them, and you have to insert the name of someone playing. One of the cards that had my name asked, "Imagine if Haley were a train car; which kind of car would she be?" The options were:
1. caboose
2. engine
3. sleeping car
4. dining car
5. subway car
6. hand car
I'll tell you later which one was overwhelmingly voted for, but first I want to see what you think!! :D So post a comment saying which kind of train car you think I would be!

Have a happy and blessed New Year, y'all! :D

Hmmm...I know the answer, so I won't leave a comment about that, but I do have to let anyone else reading know that it was a very fitting car that was chosen! And we all appreciate it very much around our house :)

Sex & "the good Christian single"

 Yep. Buckle up, we're going there. This post might get a little uncomfortable, but it's a topic that can't exactly be ignored! And, as I said at the beginning of this little "series" earlier this year, "my goal is to be uncomfortably honest, vulnerable, real, raw." Besides, the world is talking about sex all the time , and if we as Jesus-followers don't talk about it from a Jesus-perspective, the world is going to shape the views and opinions of sex for an entire generation. Or two. Or more.  Let's start with some basic statements just for the sake of clarity: 1. Sex is God's idea, and it is good.  All through the Bible, from Adam & Eve being "naked & unashamed" in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2), to the graphic love poetry of Song of Solomon, to Paul exhorting husbands and wives to freely share their bodies with one another in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible paints a picture of sex within marriage being good, beautiful, encourag...

Six Flags!

Some would no doubt consider it a strange "Sabbath kick-off", but for me a trip to Six Flags Over Texas (in Arlington) was just the ticket! Between my love of roller coasters, the nostalgia this place holds, and the healthy benefits of fresh air and sunshine, it was fantastic. Oh, and the company was pretty great, too. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have my "OG Six Flags fam" along--aka, my family and the Vests, of course! Six Flags has always been about facing and overcoming fear for me. I was a very fearful/timid child, and as an adult looking back I think one of the best things my parents did for my little anxious self was take me to ride roller coasters!! (I would insert the "tears of joy" emoji here if I could!) I was coaxed and cajoled on to rides I was hesitant about, but never forced to ride anything--though I waited in every line with them and I was not allowed to complain. Every year, there were rides where ...

oh, look! it's a blog!

I really thought I was going to do better at blogging this month. Ha! I have a post in my drafts section that I started two weeks ago, but there it sits. It's going to require more time and thought to finish than I have at this moment, so it will have to wait. However, it IS going to get finished and posted at some point! :) Today, for most of the day it's just Jonathan and I here at home. Weird, huh? Daddy, Micah, and Josiah are at a men's retreat/camp-out with the church, and Momma had to work today. So, Jonathan and I are hanging out (read: cleaning house and putting the new sheets on the beds and icing cupcakes :) ). This evening, there is a "praise for pro-life" thing at a church here in Springtown that we're planning to go to. It's a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. (October 24, 6 pm, Outreach of Love church on Hwy 199 in Springtown, admission is a baby bottle full of change...just in case anyone wanted to know!) Tomorrow after church, we're ha...
