Praying for Kayleigh and the Freemans

Hey, y'all!
OK, there's this blog that I've visited a few times, but because there are *so many* blogs out there I can't keep up with them all, I hadn't dropped by this one for a while. Well, I was on it today and wanted to ask you all to be praying for little Kayleigh and her family. Kayleigh was born June 23, 2008, three months premature and weighing only 1 pound 1 ounce. Her family calls her their "one pound blessing". :) She has spent her entire life to this point in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), undergoing various surgeries, etc. Her latest surgery seemed to be a success, but now she is not responding as she should and the doctors have said she is basically brain dead. They were doing another EEG (not sure what that stands for, but it monitors brain activity or something like that) today; I don't know what the results of that are yet. Just, please be praying for this young family!!!


Also...real quick, wanted to let y'all know about this kinda fun little idea over at Lynette's Blog that's going on. It's a "Getting to know you" thing, and she features a different blogger every Monday and Friday. If you leave a comment on her "getting to know you" post (linked to directly by the button below, or on my right sidebar), then she may even feature YOU! (which would just be so cool because she has like almost 200 followers!) Anyway, since I posted a comment to participate, I'm supposed to also post the button and a little blurb to let y'all know about it, and now I have. :)

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 ...

Hey, it's tomorrow!

OK, so I said that a post was coming tomorrow. Hey, it's "tomorrow"! So what that it's now tomorrow's tomorrow...and perhaps now I have you sufficiently confused that you won't care that I'm a day off when I said I was going to post. *vbg* So, let's see...longer and newsier. Well, longer won't be difficult; I think this post is already longer than Tuesday's. Newsier, on the other hand...when nothing much is going on, that one can be hard to accomplish! So if the events of my life start to sound boring or mundane, just remember this: it's a lot more fun to live it than to talk about it! I've almost got all my Christmas shopping done; now it's just a matter of finishing the making/putting together somehow of various and sundry items. Once I have a present for everyone in my immediate family actually in my possession, I'll wrap them and put them under the tree. I like being the first one to put gifts under the tree; but I like to...
