This Stinks.....

It has been such a busy day. Got the house all decorated ... finally. Have had the tree up since the beginning of December but the house just wasn't finished. So I finally got my to-do list whittled down to a nub today. Most of the laundry is done. Yummy meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner. Fire dimming in the fireplace.
All my boys decided to play some Wii games before bed. Clay and Dad were duking it out in a home run derby when Clay cries out: "How many foul bowels are there going to be?!" Mallory was propped up beside me while we were trying to figure something out on the laptop. Needless to say she and I both fell apart into a heap of laughter. Ahhhhh good times. Good times.

Fa La La La La La La La La


Overheard this song being sung by Clay.... "Deck the halls with bounds of folly! Fa la la la la la la....."  FOLLY: A lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight.
Whoever uses good sense at Christmas time?? We spend too much on gifts, we make too many goodies, we EAT way too many goodies, we overschedule ourselves for too many activities... isn't it all folly?

"The folly of one man is the fortune of another."-Francis Bacon

The world says that those who follow Christ have no sense, can't think for themselves, have no understanding of high thoughts and scientific authentication. To me, the folly of following Christ is more desirable than the ideas of the wisest of human leaders. Just as the Magi came from the east seeking to worship Him, this Christmas may the folly of my walk with God extend to those less fortunate than me... to those hurting far more than me... to those seeking the love of a Savior... it must be said that wise men still seek Him.
