I grew up with him, and know him personally, not that we agree on everything, then or now.

If we stop and fight with everyone that might have possibly given us offense, we will never reach our goals in life as we will be sidetracked and fall short of our potential. Fight the right battles in life.

I like to jog and have been fortunate enough to pick it back up again recently. I am scared of some of the bigger dogs if they show any aggression, but I don't growl back at them. I reply kindly in a soft voice and it works out and I finish my jog.


"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." -Jesus in Matthew 11:29


Be humble of heart and move on, loving all and being kind to serve all, even those who have given you offense.

Goals are a large part of a Christians life maam. All of us are trying to move forward in the faith, pressing on to maturity so to speak, and goals aid us in doing so, especially when you achieve your goal.

By the way, how is the pregnancy progressing? Or did I lose track of the time and you're already a new mom?

Not this weekend, but next weekend, he will be 3 months old. He has a heavenly smile and bright blue eyes like his father and me! The pregnancy itself wasn't great, but worth it in the end.
