Well, I declare! I don't know what's up with this boy o' mine.
He dressed himself up in this bathing suit with heels on and said, "I'm a billy goat." Freaky!

Edible Math
Simple math project!
The kids counted these Starburst jelly beans out separately...no eating until the end. Then, Hannah had to do the hard work: make a pictograph.
Black hole
Wow! I'm meditating on the significance of the black hole.
Context, please.
Very recently, I was confronted with a black hole of my own. It was/is the selfish sin nature that gravitates everything to it's center only to destroy them.
Seriously, through tears, I confessed to Jason that I was feeling an ugliness within me that was heartless, lifeless and it was draining all the life around me. I was becoming black. This season I'm in is one of testing, it seems. Not "Oh no, I broke my nail" kindof tests. Serious stuff. I'm being tested against myself.
The message spoken by my pastor today was pertaining to self-examination. Self-examination is a constant necessity. It precedes humbling ourselves. And, I have discovered that if I do not humble myself, my Father God is forced to do it for me out of His merciful Love!
Of course, after that self-examination and confession to Jason and before God, I was restored. The black hole's drawing power diminished.
It reminds me of the cliché that we all have a God-shaped hole in us. I don't know if this all fits together, drawing a proper analogy, but I know that God can restore the blackest of souls.
