Three Men and a Lady

Today I pulled weeds for over an hour. I think that I am going to have Kent's birthday party at our house in July, so I am getting the place ready. I'm pulling weeds, digging up stones, and attempting to beautify our landscaping. Erik has been really busy at work lately, so I didn't want to ask him to do anything around the house. Our bushes in the front of the house needed to be trimmed badly! So, I took it upon myself to use the...uh...what's it called? The hedgetrimmer! I plugged in the extension cord and connected it to the trimmer and went back to work. Within in about 5 minutes, I cut right through the extension cord. Obviously, the cord broke and I couldn't trim anymore. The problem...this is the third time I've cut the extension cord while trimming the bushes. Someone needs to invent something to hold back the cord while cutting is in progress. Erik isn't going to be thrilled. I'll have to stop at Home Depot later :O...

Yesterday was wonderful. I got to see cousins that I have not seen Christmas and it is probably the last big party my parents will have before moving from our childhood home. Parker went to my cousins house for a few days so it's back to "one child" life for us.

I've been really inspired by Ephesians 4-5 lately. Especially Eph. 5:1 "Be imitators of God." It's basic. It's plain. It's simple. It's one command that encompasses the desired behavior of a believer. It's convicting. It's challenging. It causes me to rethink several situations in my life now. Do I imitate the living, perfect, holy, and loving God in all that I say and do? That'll preach...
