I
knew working was going to be a challenge, but I didn't realize the challenge is
not the work, the challenge is working to find time to play around the work.
Time has seemed to just ball itself up in a little ball and roll right on out
my front door. Then, when I go to tell somebody all I've been doing it sounds
like I've not been doing anything at all.

I
have made a dent in my Christmas shopping at least. I have Mom's stocking done;
that's my dint.

Yesterday something came up to start Taylor and me
talking about God. I asked her if she believed in God and she said that she
did. I asked her if she knew about Jesus and she said that she knew that Jesus
is God also. So, I began the long process of trying to put the entire Bible in
two minutes. She wanted to know who was in the world first and how far back did
Mammaw's mama and her mama and her mama and all mamas go. So, I figured I'd
start at the beginning and tell her that in the beginning was always God and
the first man was Adam and then God made Eve. She said "And they were the
first people?" I told her they were
and she got really excited and said "Then we are all in this world just
one big family!" I told her that
was entirely correct, that we are generations and generations of one huge
dysfunctional family. then as her Oodles cooked I was telling her about sin and
Jesus and his dying and coming back to life, living with God now and would live
in her heart. Her noodles were done and I knew I was losing her, yet it felt
like something was pushing words right on out of me and landing in that bowl of
noodles. She was more interested in eating than listening until I told her that
if she would pray for Jesus to come into her heart then she could know He would
always be there for her to pray to and would help her. Suddenly she became
excited again.
“Will He help me do my homework?” she asked.
