Haters

Recently, a few haters have shown their faces in my life. Haters are those people who desire to bust on you and tear you down for no apparent reason. Usually, I feel like I am doing something right in my life when I have a hater. Also, having a hater is a test of my character. Often times, I want to strike back, defend myself or be mean to my hater, but I have learned to exhibit self control and love my hater.

If you have a hater, do what I do....smile, nod, and look away. Pretend to be ignorant. Pretend to have no idea what they are talking about and be nice to them. It will confuse your hater and cause them to hate you more. My hope is that eventually, my hater will self explode and change their ways.

I am thankful that I have a genuine desire in my heart to see my family and friends, happy, successful and content in their lives!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Friday and a restful weekend.

My View

I was watching this talk show on t.v. today that really made me irritated. Of course, moral relativism was at the forefront of every "opinion". Of course, being homosexual and promiscuous is "okay", because of course....it's "good" for "that person"...blah blah blah...and being heterosexual and promiscuous is okay for "that individual"....blah blah blah. Oh, and of course the term promiscuity wasn't used, because that would be saying that what they were doing was "negative" or "bad"....and we don't like those terms anymore.

Then, the next topic was "why" is teenage pregnancy on the rise? But, it was also discussed away in a moral relative way..and of course...the teenager is the "victim" and is not personally responsible for their situation. It is ridiculous! This "whatever is right for the individual" mentality is making us weak.

As for me...I'm following Christ Jesus. He died for our Sins...He lives...He is God.. and without Him we will be tossed about by the wind. We will go whatever direction the mass is going in until eventually "anything" goes. There is a right...there is a wrong and the Bible is our instruction!

Ready For Friday

Well...back to wishing it were Friday again...just kidding, but not really.

JR and I took Coy to the doctor today. He definitely had an ear infection and a hole in his eardrum. Also, he had some wheezing and a bad cough, so we are doing breathing treatments every four hours. He HATES the breathing treatment and he is too young to notice that the machine is shaped like a penguin and the mask is shaped like an elephant...it might as well have death chamber written all over it as far as he is concerned.

The good thing is that he is already feeling much better and I am much happier to have my sweet baby back. Tonight we helped him practice rolling over. He can't do it on his on, but he would hold his hand out for us to pull him and help him. He wore his new buzz light year pajamas.

Ready For Monday To Get Here!

Normally, I am wishing my life away...hoping for Friday and the weekend. Not right now, though. I am ready for tomorrow to get here so that I can take Coy to the doctor. He has had an ear infection all weekend and life has been rough for all of us. Today was much better...his ear started draining and I am guessing that gave him a little relief. I just want to get him some medicine....NOW! Forgive me for the disgusting picture of ear grossness...but I want everyone to see for some reason.

Today was a fun day with family. JR and I are about to sit down to enjoy a bowl of taco soup that I just cooked for dinner.

Thus ends another wonderful weekend.

Shout Out

I don't normally address political topics in my blog, but...I MUST give a shout out to the state of Massachusetts for electing Republican Scott Brown to the Senate. Do I hear the people saying "no" to something?!

Today Feels Like Friday

Today feels like Friday, because this week has seemed so long.

Anyway, this past weekend, we celebrated Christmas in Patrick, SC. It was pretty cool and since I still haven't taken my Christmas tree down yet, it sort of seems like Christmas every time I walk into the living room. We had a nice time Saturday hanging out with family and all that comes along with that.

Yesterday was Coy's doctor visit. He got his second round of shots and I hope that he doesn't get autism from it. I really don't believe in that and I feel that the diseases that he could get are far worse...just for the record. Oh, and he weighed 19lbs and he was 27 1/2 inches long.

This coming weekend should be very low key. Taking down the Christmas tree is on the agenda. I think that if I ever build a house, I am going to have a hidden Christmas room that I can put everything in already decorated, so that all I have to do is wheel it out once a year.

Happy New Year

I hope that 2010 is an amazing year! I look forward to each day of it!

Happy Birthday today to my brother Justin. This is definitely going to be an exciting year for you!

Every year I make a New Year's resolution, but it usually takes a few days into the year for me to come up with it. Maybe my resolution will be...to stop procrastinating.

Happy New Year everybody!!!
