Fun 1

Every morning Debbie gives Luke a Bible lesson using flannel graphs and then they have a quiz about, you know, what are the 10 plagues, Who are Joseph's 11 brothers, etc. Well, this morning after they cleaned up the flannel people, Debbie asked Luke "What are the 10 plagues of Egypt?" Luke responded "OH!!" put his hands to his head as if thinking very hard and then started counting off on his fingers; Reuben, Simeon....

Would I ever laugh if it wasn't for Fun 1!!!!

The Warrior is a Child


Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
Strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears

(Chorus)

They don't know that I go running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
'Cause deep inside this armour
The warrior is a child

Unafraid because his armour is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
Never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet

Chorus x2

I drop my sword and look up for His smile
Because deep inside this armour
Deep inside this armour
Deep inside this armour
The Warrior is a Child


I caught myself singing this song today, and when I started thinking about it, and the words and the meaning, I found myself thinking how I was like that. And I couldn't decide, is that a good thing or not?
Now, I don't know about the whole winning battles part, but definitely the hiding part. I often want to run home and hid. To lock myself in my closet away from all the cares and trials of life, to cry on someone's shoulder until everything goes away. To just be held my God's strong arms.

I'm going to tell on myself, I've taken pride *gulp* over the years in being strong. Not emotional, not easily swayed, a hard worker, the strong one when everything, life specifically seems to be crumbling around me... But, truthfully, I often feel like crying. But I keep in on the inside, I don't let those around me know that I'm broken or shaken. I'm really a child on the inside, one who would love to run home to Mommy every time something happens. Is my life a charade, a facade? No, but I don't have to be so strong. I can cry. I can turn to God, instead of relying on my pride and strength to get me through. I can be human. I can face whatever comes my way, not because of pride, but because I can do all things through Christ who strengtheth me. My own strength and pride won't get me far, and they will quickly fade. But deep inside, beneath the armour that covers me, covers the warrior in God's army, lies a child, a child of God safe in the arms of her heavenly Father.

the poor geek squad...

Here are some of the actual conversations between IT clients and technical staffs.Technologically Challenged

Tech support: How may I help you?
Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.
Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?

===============
A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

==============

And then there is the one, I believe David told me about.

A man returned his computer to the store after only a few days, complaining that the cup holder broke. The store personnel told his the computer didn't come with a cup holder.
The man was of course referring to the Cd drive...
