REFLECTIONS

My newest nephew, Elias Temple Knight Leonard, was dedicated to the Lord last Sunday. Apart from a very nice service, I was reminded of twenty years ago when I first dedicated my children to the Lord. Unlike my nephew, who's whole family on both of the parents side were present, it was myself and my children at the alter. I still remember the promise that was made to the Lord that day. Not word for word of course, but I remember.Twenty years later I am still bound to that promise. I am reminded when the kids skip washing our dishes to go to youth group and I am unable to ground them. It's fun to laugh about it and watch them grow into adulthood somewhat gracefully and responsibly. I use those words loosely since I'm talking about teenagers here. We all have busy lives in this home and at least they are using their social time constructively.

Apart from a busy month without much time to rest, I am thankful for these little reminders and the impact they have on my life. There has been little time for writing and blogging. So much gathering of information and sorting. My oldest son will be home on the 30th of this month for a short time before getting shipped to Japan.  There was the unexpected trip to Kentucky yesterday to pick up our grandmother. Everything went smoothly and we were able to take lots of pictures.

I must depart here soon but I want you to keep in mind the promises you've made over the years. Reflect on how well you have kept them and decide if they have had a positive or negative impact in your life. Ask yourself if you have done well or do some adjustments need to be made and have a great month.

May God bless you and keep you safe.

Read At Your Own Risk

I'm feeling extremely relaxed tonight and in a good mood.It's been a wonderfully busy week but I'm not tired tonight. I suppose dumping a load would be too vulgar of an image too offer you so we shall use the the acceptable terminology for this act of nature. It's called detoxification. After a decade of not being able to go regularly, I happily run to my "official office" twice a day to do the dirty deed. I guess I had too much liquid this last week or maybe it was something else. I also want to thank God for all the succulent cabbage, onions, and corn that I eagerly ingested. He definitely knows how to make me feel like a new woman. Going two to three times a day can get a little annoying with such a hectic schedule, but I don't mind at all. A good cleansing is euphoric and offers inner peace. I could go on but seriously I'm not trying to gross you out.

I'm been considering writing about this topic for a while yet the "ewe gross, I didn't want to hear that" response kept me from it for a long time until now. This brings me to the point of this discussion. Tonight I watched the fist three episodes of "Californication." It is supposed to be about a writer who hasn't written anything down in years. He claims that he just wants his old girlfriend and daughter back in his life yet, all he does is verbally abuse anyone who tried to establish a meaningful relationship with him.There is a different woman in bed with him every night. Every five minutes or less they show a different woman on top of him and the producers have not been sensitive to the eyes of viewers.

He even commits sexual misconduct with a minor. I think boobs are great too even though I choose to remain heterosexual. Even with that I didn't expect a porn TV series. It had nothing to do with a struggling writer. And so in conclusion, since I'm all for freedom of the press and expressing one's self, I finally decided to dedicate at least one of my blogs to "Taking A Shit."

Have a wonderful evening and remember, "Pooping is a good thing."
