Carving Time
Take 5 homegrown pumpkins, 2 kids, 2 parents and a bunch of knives and you have a good picture of how we spent our afternoon. This was the first year where we have let the girls go at it with knives themselves. Surprisingly, no blood was shed and fun was had. Hubby, of course, created his latest masterpiece while I helped the girls clean and carve their pumpkins. By the end of it, I had no creative ideas for my own pumpkin. We had one spare pumpkin that the girls wanted to turn into a disco ball. I made some snarky comment to Hubby about also carving rainbows, unicorns and stars into it since he was such an artist.

Theology Mashup
I've been thinking a lot about theology lately. I'm taking two graduate courses for my Master's Degree, meeting some really good folks who are doing crazy things for the Kingdom and reading tons of twitter/blog/facebook articles.
But here is the problem. There is a lot of it floating around out there.
It doesn't help that in 2 weeks I'm going to be standing front of several hundred people speaking about the theology I believe in and how I think it should be playing out in our churches.
Suffice it to say, I am FREAKING OUT about it.
Here's what crossed my desk this week, let me know what you think...
Mark Driscoll: I am not a huge fan of this guy...probably because I'm a woman in leadership. I do appreciate what I understand his heart to be, however this week a Youtube clip went viral with one of his sermons. I wanted to link to it here, but I'm guessing his church yanked it down. Here is the gist of it. (a direct quote):
Some of you, God hates you. Some of you, God is sick of you. God is frustrated with you. God is wearied by you. God has suffered long enough with you. He doesn’t think you’re cute. He doesn’t think it’s funny. He doesn’t think your excuse is “meritous” [the word he's looking for there is "meritorious]. He doesn’t care if you compare yourself to someone worse than you, He hates them too. God hates, right now, personally, objectively hates some of you.
Brene Brown's take on grace:
My personal favorite of the week mostly cause it echoes my heart
A glimpse into Brennan Manning, author of a Ragamuffin Gospel
That's is about 1/100th of what I read/watched this week. I don't know whether to be thankful that there is so much out there or terrified.

My little girl is six!!!
The many faces of Bear
So Cute!
So Crazy!
So Physical!
So Lovely!
This kid makes us laugh all the time. She informed us that there is a "School Bear" and a "Home Bear" and that she is more funny at home...She is full of energy, she is my little buddy in the garden and food canning. She has gained inches this year and is becoming more confident in social situations. She is just like her Dad with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, a friendly soul, but still a Mama's girl for cuddles. She makes our family complete!
