Through Lachlan's Eyes

We recieved a Victoria Secret catalog in the mail today. I don't subscribe, my self esteem couldn't handle it, but it came to "Current Resident". I started to browse through the catalog and Lachlan came up behind me. One of the models is girlfriend to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands. I asked Lachlan "Is she prettier than mama?" She looked at the girl and the girl on the other page and said "No. They aren't smiling like you." What an answer!! She didn't look at the things I would, she looked at their faces. They had these smug, seductive looks that my five year old could see right through. She looked at their spirit, and clearly she preferred mine! This revelation changed me. I don't ever want Lachlan to lose that precious perspective. I imagine this is also how God views us. He looks at our spirit, which clearly shows on our face. Not to mention I don't think He'd really approve of what the catalog stands for anyway. I plan on smiling more and more :) I'm too blessed not to! Proverbs 11:22 & Proverbs 15:13

Good Friday

One year ago today Ronnie went home to be with the Lord. Today happens to be Good Friday. I believe that the celebration in Heaven today is amazing! Everyone there reveling in Jesus triumph over death, hell, and the grave!! I wonder what it's like. But 1 Corinthians 2:9 tells us "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."

Brian went fishing today and caught a brown trout. 19 inches long. Ronnie used to talk constantly about how he was going to catch the brown trout that got away! Well, Ronnie, I know you saw that catch today!


I thank you Jesus for your sacrifice. Thank you doesn't even scratch the surface of how grateful I am...I'm so sorry that I put you there on that cross. I can't wait to be in Heaven some day, the first thing I want to do is embrace you with all my might!!!
