I Need a Hero…

Would you look at that contagious smile?  Henry, you are a beam of sunshine! 

Found this costume at a garage sale for a $1 last weekend. Everyone has taken their turn being “Sue-fah-man” this week.  I think my superhero days with 4 boys have only just begun.

And now for some completely unrelated tangents:

  • I’ve been blessed by your comments and encouraging words on my “Covenant Relationship” post.   It was so worth putting my heart out there, because in return you have shared your hearts with me. I want to emphasize that my intentions of that post were personal in nature, and not meant to be judgmental. Nor was I claiming that there’s never a legitimate reason for divorce.  I think most of you saw me through on this, but I wanted to clear up any misinterpretations. I’m praying over your comments this afternoon.

  • If you follow me on twitter you might have heard that I was nominated for an Indiana blogging award in the Family Blog Category.  I have some stiff competition, and I thought about waving the white flag of surrender before the voting ends, but then I remembered how much you all enjoy voting!  So, if you feel the urge once again, head over to the Blindy Ballot and cast your vote for 4tunate. I will be speaking on a panel during Saturday’s session at the Blog Indiana Conference, so if you are there, please stop and introduce yourself!

  • Lastly, My friend Doug was killed this week while cutting down a tree.  He and I were friends since 1st grade and he was my homecoming escort.  Would you please join me in praying for this family?  He leaves behind a wife and 3 small children.  I thought of his wife through the night last night and cannot imagine the shock and grief she must be experiencing. Thank you, faithful friends.
