Happy Birthday Max!!

Max climbs in the cupboard at our old house.

Wow! What a year this has been. My favorite phrase, already repeated at least 20 times since yesterday is, "This time last year I was _______________." So..... this time last year Max was 5 1/2 hours old and we were ecstatic and in disbelief that Max was finally here. He is such a blessing.

We are having a small (is 17 people small??) birthday party for him at 5 p.m. today at our new house. We are all moved in and most of the boxes have been unpacked and is feels very homey. We love it!

Party report coming soon........

If We Are The Body

A couple of weeks ago in church the youth performed this song and it really spoke to me. I had never heard it before. There's nothing like hearing the under-10 set speak truth to the grown-ups. I don't know if it'll speak to you or not, but if you have a minute, give it a listen. I know so many people who are turned off by church and it's a shame that some of us who call ourselves Christians have been the reason for that. We tend to forget what we're supposed to be about as the body of Christ and all too easily turn into a "club" for those who fit our mold.

**For some reason my link isn't working - go to YouTube and look for If We Are The Body by Casting Crowns if you'd like to hear it. Will try to fix this later. : ) **
