I took this picture almost one year ago today.

It was the day we buried my Grandpa.

I love my Grandpa. He was a man’s man, a follower of Jesus, and he loved to share his talents, skills and life with people.  I could go on and on about the things that my Grandpa taught me.

I miss his rough working man hands and getting a hug from him. I miss getting poked with a toothpick and him telling me it was vaccination of love. I miss the ways I used to run into his workshop to see what thing he was building out of whatever kind of wood you could find. I miss watching him read his Bible in his special chair. I miss watching him love my Grandma so selflessly!!

In all honesty I know I will see him again in the presence of Jesus because Grandpa and I shared the same beliefs in Jesus…

but for today and right now….I just miss my Grandpa!!!!!

I love this choir.  I have been following the PS22 Chorus and their stuff for awhile.

This video is inspiring and touches me deeply. I think it is because of the freedom and joy on the faces of these kids as they sing.  It is awesome that Matisyahu heard about these kids and wanted to fly in and surprise them! Enjoy!

I don’t know who “We’re” are on iTunes, but they are listening to my worship record Overwhelmed. If “We’re” thinks it is good enough to listen to, I would also recommend it to you. So go buy it, review it and let me know what you think!!

Our son loves phones and he loves to call everyone from his friend Bubba to Grandma to his girl friend. He doesn’t even know what a girl friend is but that doesn’t stop him. He loves the statement right now “Yeah…Dats Awesome!”

The crazy thing is he is faking it the whole time!!  It isn’t a real phone and there is no one on the other end. When you are 3.5 years old it is funny, but when you are an adult and you are still faking it you look ridiculous.

Why do we try to fake things? Why can’t we just admit we don’t know how to do something; that we need help? I guess I am realizing that I don’t want to fake it any more. I want to be real. I want to ask for help. I want to be secure enough to admit my inadequacies and be okay learning from others.

I don’t know about you but I’m done faking it!!!

In what ways do you feel like you have to fake it…to be accepted??
