It Doesn't Have To Be This Way

 Let's break it down to Kids Church level. Suzie likes Justin Beiber; Molly doesn't. Molly does't like Suzie anymore. Silly right? Yeah it is! But let's face it, there are millions of people that are die-hard "faint if you see them, love you forever" fans of some messed up "can't stay out of jail" celebrity. Why you ask? Probably because one of their friends told them about the star. 

 So why in the world is it not possible to realize that and think, "Oh hey, if I was a die hard fan of Jesus maybe my friends will be too." Oh wait, it is! It doesn't have to be the way it is. If teenagers started fainting and screaming, "Follow me on Twitter Jesus. I love you!" Instead of some Hollywood phony that they say is cool. I think we'd all notice a huge difference in the world.

 Think about it. If you stop going gaga over Gaga. And instead of flipping out over Foo Fighters, wear an I <3 Jesus t-shirt. It's not that different. So, no more sold out concerts; instead we'll have sold out kids.

Top 5 Christmas Eve Time-Killing Thingys.

It's christmas eve, snow is falling. ( or ice in our case ) And your in the christmas spirit. Maybe buying last minute presents and stocking stuffers, singing songs and watching christmas classics. You make it through a day of kids constantly asking "Can we open our presents now!? " Finally it's time for the Christmas Eve service. You get dressed in scratchy, hideous sweaters with pop-up nativity scenes on the front that open when you take your coat off. All of the kids on your pew burn their hands on the candles which leads to crying and picking up the candle wax thats embedded in the carpet. The service is over you drive home and its late and you remember last year. You realize that if the kids go to bed now they will wake up at the wee hours of the morning. (but you do put them to bed anyway) They bug you, and bug you, and bug you, and bug you to let them open presents....... NOW!!! Well its like three in the morning and you do NOT want to get out of those christmas themed flannel sheets you got a target for ten bucks. You finally give in and get out of bed but your not thinking about getting the camera ready, or hurrying, or even putting your glasses on right-side up. Your thinking about next year and how your gonna wear them out christmas eve so they sleep in. Heres my top 5 list of Christmas Eve Time-Killing Thingys.

1. Watch a rrrreeeeaaallllllllllyyyyy loooooong family favorite Christmas movie. Ours is White Christmas.

Red Cup





Yesterday I had a doctors appointment in Oklahoma City. When we got out my parents said........ " Lets go to Red Cup! " The kids said... " Yay! " Now for those of you that don't know what Red Cup is. Its a really cool restaurant in Okc. It's one of those places that if you've never been there your afraid to drink out of the glasses. But it grows on you. Oh and the food and coffee are amazing. ( I don't like coffee but I hear its amazing. Somebody even said it's better than starbucks. ) Well anyway. It's really good and really cool. And a plethora of amazing photo ops. So I took advantage of the plethora of amazing photo ops and took some photos. Lets see if I can figure out how to post them. Well that was easy. Later, and eat some friedpizza for me.
