For DS’ Next Birthday.

Random Photo.

A random photo from Flickr. I have been uploading almost 24/7 trying to keep it up-to-date. This is from 2006 I think. A no-bake cookie, if I remember it correctly.

Christmas Morning.

This toy is for the younger kids actually. But DS just loves Sesame Street to bits and this was one of his wishes for Christmas.

My Tree Ornaments.

Got these on sale last year. Wondering if I could score new ornaments this year. Have to visit the mall this month. They put the ornaments on sale a week or two before Christmas.

Some Of His Faves.

Keep Off.

Should stay from late night snacking. I’m gaining weight.

Trick or Treat.

Sharing our humble decorations for Halloween.

Good Night.

Happy to see the Smurfs’ Village has day and night. It’s night time at my village right now. I hope it is still night time when my son gets home from school so he can see his lamp posts all lit up.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back.

Do you believe in heaven?

I came across this book this morning and I immediately downloaded a copy. And in one sitting I finished the whole book. It’s not that long though and I admit that I didn’t focus so much on some parts. I just wanted to reach the parts where the little boy was telling his parents his experiences in heaven. This is a very good and enlightening read and yes very comforting, especially if you have lost a loved one.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.

Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.

Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us.

Told by the father, but often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
