So last night we went to a basketball game and on the way home Casey had a few questions. Not about basketball but about something he saw. In Boise there is a huge cross on the side hill and at night they light it up. Last night Casey saw this and wanted to know what it was. We told him it was a cross and of course he wanted to know what a cross was. I told him it was where the Lord Jesus gave his life for his people. Casey said nothing for a few seconds and then wanted to know where heaven was and why he could not see it. This made me stop and think...how do you explain heaven to a four year old...much less to a 28 year old. He also wanted to know if Jesus would be coming back soon and why we dont get to see him. All of these questions were asked at 9:30 at night so my brain was not on full anyway. So you may be wondering what I ended up telling the little guy. As far as heaven, its up above the clouds (kind of). Jesus is coming back one day to take all those that believe on him to live with him and until that day we are asked to live for him. I then took the chicken way out and told him to ask Papa with combine the next time we are in Aberdeen.
This is the same little guy that wanted to know a few days ago where he came from...the hospital was not a good answer. I then told him from mommy and daddy to which he asked where did you guys come from. A few of his other questions...why dont the people in the back seat of a car have a sun visor? Where does ... come from? (fill in the blank with just about anything) Why is my pee yellow? Yes the joys of having a four year old with a very, very active mind. :):)

1. It looks as if Casey is on the mend from his cold/flu thing.
2. With all the bugs that have been going around this year I have been able to stay pretty healthy...thank you Lord for that.
3. Our troops who are fighting for us to have the freedom we so enjoy.
4. The life I had growing up...being raised in a Christan Home with love parents is a huge blessing.
5. Any free time I can get to get my thoughts in order...even if its when I am in the car driving to and from picking Casey up for dropping him off.

Its strange but its only been a couple of days and I now find myself thinking as the day goes on about things for my list. I like this idea of positive thinking
1. The first cup of coffee in the morning.
2. A healthy family...which is in question right now. Casey is starting to get a cough.
3. A full night sleep...which I am not getting tonight. :(
4. Life in a free country. Thank you to all who have served and to all the parents who have raised the soldiers.
5. That I am not nor am I married to a movie star. I would hate to have that kind of life.

1. Laundry...yes I said laundry. I dont like it but after doing four loads yesterday I got to thinking that at least I have some to do. There are many that do not.
2. A wonderful preschool for Casey. It is amazing the change that has happened since he started.
3. My gym membership.
4. The good memories that I have stored away.
5. The fact that this is not all there is. One day we will understand why things happen

Hard to believe its already December.
1. When my son gets a full night sleep which means I can then try for a full one myself.
2. That Brent and I both feel it is important for me to stay home with Casey and that the Lord has given up the funds to make it possible.
3. A working washer and dryer, and a working dishwasher.
4. Having enough food on the table.
5. Being able to have arguments with my family but still know that we all love each other in the end.
