Random Thoughts...

We've been busy but that doesn't mean that my mind hasn't been racing. By that I mean I have had a bunch of things that I could have blogged about, but didn't have time. So I thought I would just dump some thoughts out into blog world and let you add the commentary, so here are my random thoughts:

Big news:
In case you haven't heard, we are expecting another bambino!!! Heidi is 16 weeks pregnant with number 3--she said she is done after this. I think we will adopt a few more though!!!

Favorite conversation:
Yesterday while taking Isabel & Carson to pre-school and in the midst of all this flooding in the past few days, Isa asked me this question: "Daddy, how come we are having floods? I thought God promised Noah that He would never flood the earth again." How cute and insightful is that. I am so thankful for Heidi and our church doing a great job of teaching our kids the things of God!!!

Bible verses that I have been meditating on that have rocked my face off:

Romans 4:18 "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed..."

James 4:8 "Come near to God and He will come near to you."

Favorite quote that I've heard recently:
"Truth and time walk hand in hand together."

Current Book that I've been reading that I think is good:
"I Sold my Soul on Ebay," by Hemant Mehta--He is an atheist but as you read this book, you can see that he is really searching.

The thing that has shocked me the most in the past few weeks:
College football--both my teams, UGA & FSU have had a interesting last three weeks.

Favorite song lyrics that I'm listening to (This one is kindof odd. I dug into my old CD stash--yes, I said CD's and found one of my favorite Caedmon Call's CD. There is a song on the "Share the Well" album called "Did not catch her name" and I am addicted to the following lines:)

And she bragged about her boys
And how they're growing into men
And how the learned to praise the Lord
Old style Ecuadorian
But to buy the new guitar
We had to sell the swine
See my boys go to school on a foreign angel's dime

This world calls me poor
I bore my babies on this floor
But He always provides
Sure as the sun will rise
So I sing Him lyrics of praise
'Cause I know He keeps me in His gaze

Rain fell from the sky
We raced back to the van
Tears in the eyes
Of this poor forgetful man
Mother of eight sons
She knows the peace of God
Lord, help me learn to lean on
Thy staff and Thy rod

Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need

Favorite Podcast (This has been my favorite for a while):
Matt Chandler from the Village Church in Texas.

Thing that excites me:
Next Wednesday (Sept. 30th), we will find out the sex of our new baby!!!

Wait a minute...I am trying to remember if I read a post or read this news somewhere already! There is definitely a baby boom going on with my friends...
Congrats!!! Can't wait to hear the news! I always said that since we have one of each already, we would be surprised next time!

I, of course, had heard the baby news, but I haven't had a chance to say congrats yet! We are super excited around here.
That Caedmans call CD is one of my favorites, EVER. I still pull it out and listen to it, fairly often, and it is on my IPod. Good stuff.
