As the picture clearly shows...baby Wood #3 is on her/his way! We are very excited and are expecting her/him around December 29th...hopefully closer to that date, than the 25th (Christmas). But baby is doing great...with a healthy heartbeat and the size of a small bean...right on schedule. I'm nauseous and tired but otherwise doing well. Ethan is very excited and asked if we get to keep this one. So we had to explain that foster babies are different than our very own babies...yes, we are definitely keeping this one.

journaling
We had a women's brunch at our church yesterday and Sally Gleason was our speaker. I really enjoyed what she had to say. Part of her talk was on the Foundations of a Biblical Women's Ministry (which can also be applied to the Foundations for a Church)...the Gospel, the Truth, Sound Doctrine, Discipleship and the Covenant. What a beautiful picture of what the church was meant to be. It's about a community of God's people pointing and directing each other to Christ...not one of those things is centered on ME, MYSELF or I. We are called to preach the Gospel, tell and point each other to the Truth even if it doesn't make everyone feel warm and fuzzy, teach Sound Doctrine from Scripture, Disciple and (young/old men, women, mothers, fathers, grandparents, teenagers, children) deepen their knowledge and understanding through the Word of God, and to understand the Covenant that was fulfilled and carried on by Christ (which has nothing to do with what we do).
I pray this for our church. That we would see what we are called to do as a church. I know and am comforted that God is greater than all the mess and chaos that we sinners create, and it is all in his control...PRAISE GOD!

funny kid
Ethan after lunch today: "Mom can I have dessert?" (a child after my own heart...dessert after every meal except breakfast)
Me: "I don't think we have any dessert."
Ethan, after he checked the frig: "Look mom!"
Me: "You want applesauce for dessert?"
Ethan: "YEAH!"
This is the kid who said he wanted "peas" for a snack one day. Not that he doesn't have a sweet tooth (like his mommy and daddy) but I'm glad he does have this healthy side to him. Funny kid!

James Sire
Today Jason and I went to listen to James Sire speak. He is author of the books The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog, Habits of the Mind: Intellectual Life as a Christian Calling and Learning to Pray Through the Psalms...to name a few. He mainly spoke on the topic of his book Learning to Pray Through the Psalms. It not only was nice to get away and be challenged but also just to spend some time with my honey...sans the kids. I love my chidren but I do enjoy uninterrupted conversation with Jason too.
