Thoughts about Love

| May 28, 2009

He loves you. He always has, and will never stop. You do not have to earn His love, and you do not have to be perfect. Some people will give you the idea that you have no inherent value, but it is not true. God made you, and that makes you incredibly valuable. That makes […]

Covarr: Hyperlad, you didn’t flush. Hyperlad: That’s ‘cuz I wasn’t going potty. Covarr: Then what were you doing in there? Hyperlad: I was just seeing if the toilet paper would stick to the ceiling.

(Note: since Hypertot is now 5 and a preschool graduate, maybe he’s more lad than tot?) Hyperlad: Why did the chicken cross the park? Me: To get to the other slide? Hyperlad: No, it was a park without a playground. Me: Ok, why? Hyperlad: To slide in the frozen north!

Mom and God

| May 10, 2009

I know, everyone is talking about mothers today. So maybe you’ll think I’m unoriginal, but I want to talk about mine. Specifically, I want to discuss how she helped me to develop my understanding of God. Now, my mother has always modeled faith. She raised me from my earliest days with a knowledge that God […]

… love so complete, so infinite, that it can make anything, do anything, give anything, and not be diminished?
