Love this song...



Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
and Who told the ocean you can only come this far?
and Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives:
Let all creations testify
Let this, life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives, yeah.

The very same God that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creations testify
Let this life within we cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I'll proclaim

That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive and
There's an empty grave.

And I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creations testify
Let this life within me cry

I know my Redeemer,
I know my Redeemer
I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
I know that I know that I know that I know that I know my redeemer lives

Because He lives I can face tomorrow

I Know I know
He lives He lives yeah, yeah I spoke with him this morning
He lives He lives, the tomb is empty,
He lives I gotta tell everybody 

"When You Thought I Wasn't Looking"

My mom emailed this to me a year ago and I recently saw the email, so I thought I'd share: 

-------

A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say...


WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING - Unknown

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up. 

When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking' 

For all of you who do so much for others, but think that no one ever sees. Little eyes see a lot. 


Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend) influences the life of a child. 

How will you touch the life of someone today? Just by sharing this with someone else, you will probably make them at least think about their influence on others.


Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. 

Wordless Wednesday: Tactile Fremitus

Backstory: Nate sat with me while I watched a video similar to the one below on the examination of the chest. After one viewing, he is now ready to practice :-)

Things My Toddler Says...

"I power ranger red!...Overdrive Samurai!!!" - Yes, he really says this...LOL

"I'll be riiiiight back." :as he's running out the room to get something:

After giving me a kiss on the cheek:
"Luu you babe."

:More Please! Thank you!: while doing the appropriate sign language

"It's not funny, mommy."

During football games when someone get's tackled: "Come ooooon! Let's doooo it!"

With arms crossed stomping off: "I Angry! I mad!"

"My phone-t" (And any other word with a soft vowel sound at the end, get's an extra "t")

Talking about his action figure:
Nate: "My guy!"
Me: "What did you name him?"
Nate: Matter of factly..."Guy."

Whining/Crying: "Mommy, I want chocolate nilk in a cup!"
Me: "Nate, you have to stop crying first."
Nate: (trying to break a smile through tears) "Mommy, I happy now..."

Picking him up from daycare all the other kids try and leave too. Before we left, Nate puts his hand in front of a boy trying to follow us out and sweetly says, "Not yet...not yet..." LOL!

He's REALLY into Dino Dan right now, so we frequently hear him talking about Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex...
