Movember

My Movember efforts. Started a week late... But here's about three weeks effort.

Audrey

All I keep hearing about from caleb is his friend "Audrey". He's recently been holding hands at playtime, writing his name and drawing pictures for her.

Certainly this is a first for me.

The journey...

These days have been really challenging and heavy. A lot of things have been going on causing some deep questions. It's not a new place nor unique to us.

I've found myself meditating on the journey that we each undertake. Which way do we go. What do we choose to do. The choices. Man, the choices.

As I look back I'm surveying my decisions and reflecting on the rightness of these. Once someone said to me that it's not the right decision that is important to dwell on but rather the ensuring you are serving it with your all.

Personally, I've been plagued with the memory of not doing things... And what I should have done. I yearn to one day tell my boys about giving all that they have to serve and follow that path, that dream, that journey, which has their name etched on it and, I hope, what I've done may, in just a small way, inspire them to strive to get there with all their heart, soul and strength.

What we do says a lot about who we are. Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

“I can't hear your words because they are drowned out by your actions”

I can't say decisions come any easier though.

you wanna see something really scary

quite sad really. trick or treaters come every year to our door. or as caleb used to call them "tweeters". this year joshua was scared out of his wits when he saw a little boy in a skeleton outfit and his father behind him in his pinhead mask. caleb, eager to see who was there darted to the door. his minions (joshua and reuben) followed. i was not able to get there in time and all i heard was a shriek and the some pattering feet. after handling the "tweeters". the father did express his apologies i went to where joshie was. he was hiding. curled on the sofa with his head buried down not wanting to see what was around him sobbing away. helplessly i watched as he battled his fears inside. we could offer comfort and assurance that we were here. that night, for the first time ever, he wet his bed. we just had to stand there and go through this with him. the following evening we were decided to take an action and light a candle. it was in the form of a lantern that we all lit together and launched it into the night remebering the proverb that it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. as it went off we asked joshie what he prayed for. he said that there would be no more monsters.
