Bike Seat: 1, Joanna: 0



My job for yesterday was to assemble a child seat for a bike and attach it to the bike. I failed. The bike seat beat me!! So I waited til Josh got home and (as usual) he was able to solve the problems and get the thing attached. YAY! Now we have more options than just the stroller. :) Now before I get comments about how Noah should have a helmet, I know! We just took a spin down our street to try everything out. If we venture any farther, we'll have to have a helmet for Noah. Below is a little video of Josh coming back down the street with Noah in tow.



To tell you the truth, I thought Noah would be **slightly** more impressed by the new bike seat than he was. Maybe if we all ride together and go farther than our neighborhood, the excited-factor would go up a bit! Then again, at that point he'd be wearing a helmet, and he usually doesn't like stuff on his head. ;)

This evening we are expecting Josh's aunt and uncle and family--the Fosters--to arrive on their way through to south Florida. They will be staying the night with us, and then passing through again next week. We look forward to seeing them!

P.S... Have you ever noticed that if you listen back to your own recorded voice, it sounds nothing like you think you sound?? This drives me CrAzY!! Josh assures me that, "Yes, you do sound like that!" Totally weird!

I agree about the voice thing. I prefer the way my voice sounds inside MY head to what it sounds like when I listen to a recording, LOL!!!

Resolving Everyday Conflict

If you've ever been asked to lead a discussion or teach about a certain spiritual discipline, you can be sure that the Lord will lovingly bring just that exact topic to the forefront in your own life. He'll graciously put your ugly sinful tendencies "right on Front Street," as my good friend Dara likes to say. This is grace! This is God's kindness to reveal sinful tendencies in our own hearts so that we can repent, seek renewed relationship with God and others, and be used of Him. Here is a story about one such evidence of God's grace to me. Josh and I were late to our small group last night. Oh, we were there . We had technically arrived on time, but we remained in the parking lot of the neighborhood's clubhouse for over 45 minutes before we were able to walk in holding hands. Much later in the evening, on our way home from Grace Group, Eden begged to be the one to fill the boys in on why we were late (the boys had driven separately from a soccer practice

The Hand of God

 I am in Scotland. S C O T L A N D. This is me; Joanna, the one whose comfort zone is within about one square mile, who said she never wanted to leave the USA, who hates to travel on anything public, who nearly hyperventilates at the mere mention of airplanes. How is this possible that I am here? Only by God's grace. Every step in front of the other, every long line, every minute on those airplanes was enabled by God's grace. On my end, it wasn't always pretty--usually it was very ugly--and I may have said, "I can't do this" more times than we could count (Josh had to tell me to quit saying that), but God was faithful to me and I have a really great story about one such miracle to share with you, but for perspective and contrast I have to share a really ugly story first. Here goes:  We dropped off our rental car in Dublin about 11am, and had to ride a shuttle bus back to the Dublin airport to catch our 1:10pm "quick" flight over to Edinburgh, Scotlan

The Whole Truth

Our cat, Willow, has kittens periodically. By periodically I mean about 2-3 times a year, and we don't hate it. We actually enjoy guessing when her due date is, how many kittens there will be, what they will look like, etc. Then when she has them, well, is there anything cuter than kittens? But sooner or later, 8 weeks later to be exact, it's time for those kittens to go. At that time we will put an ad on Craigslist and find homes for each and every one. This brings the fun hassle of sending people additional pictures, telling them again how much we are charging (that was in the ad!), setting up potential meetings with people who will ghost at the last minute, after we've already given them our address. Everyone should put an ad on Craigslist at least once just for the experience. Should you finally get someone who likes the look of a kitten, wants to pay the price, can meet at an agreeable time, successfully finds your house, is okay with the fact that the kittens haven&#
