cutting in line
This mornings conversation with Dear Son involved learning about why we do not cut in line. Seems Dear Son always thought the space other children left in the line was space specifically left for HIM and for him alone! Gwenn went on to explain the purpose of personal space and how superhero’s can work best from the back of the line due to increased vision of those in need.
We’ll see how this goes…

Texas is experiencing show this week. But today the snow seems to be drifting a bit to the south of the DFW area. When this was told to Josh, I asked him to Lasso the snow up North so we could have some. He explained:
My Lasso is broken. Seems like we won’t get any today.

I’m sorry for being angry
I’m sorry for being fearful
God controls all situations
Including this one now…
I’m done being scared
I’m done being angry
I’m done hiding…
Our lives are amazing and filled with joy,
The boundaries asked, please don’t ignore.
Our discretion is advised
As we see Josh’s eyes.
Thank you for listening
And God Bless you in this world.

“Yes.”

When Dear Son made this [...]
