He holds us all together

This is so neat and *so* God. 

I {heart} science and Jesus. 

Take a minute to watch it and you will be blessed!


Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
      He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
  for
through Him God created everything
      in the heavenly realms and on earth.

   He made the things we can see
      and the things we can’t see—
   such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
      
Everything was created through Him and for Him.
  He existed before anything else,
      and
He holds all creation together.

   Christ is also the head of the church,
      which is His body.
   
He is the beginning,
      supreme over all who rise from the dead.
      So
He is first in everything.

   For God in all his fullness
      was pleased to live in Christ,
   and through Him
God reconciled
   
  everything to Himself.
 
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
      by means of
Christ’s blood on the cross.

 -Colossians 1:15:20


I pray for Grace and Peace mixed with Faith for each of you reading this,

"We also pray that you will be strengthened with all His glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.

May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father.

He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light.

For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, Who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins."

-Colossians 1: 11-14

the adventures of the cereal box boys

The boys had a blast cutting up giant cereal boxes (we have to buy cereal by the cubic ton) and making helmets out of them the other day.

One of the millions of reasons that I am so appreciative of the ability to homeschool (no matter how I spell homeschool spell check doesn't like it??) our boys.

They would never get the opportunity to be so close if they were both in an institution all day.  One would be in kindergarten and one would be in high school and they probably would never even see each other, never mind enjoy each other's company.

Teen-O is so sweet with his little brother and Little-O just adores him.  It blesses me so much that the main role models in my little guy's life are his brother and dad, kind, loving, men of God.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the life God has given me on a day like this, watching them laugh and play and learn together.  And I am humbled that God trusts me with this. deeply humbled and grateful.

Who knew cereal boxes could elicit such introspection?
