  • late nights

    the Golden Lady and I sat up later -- err --early around the Kitchen Table

    eating potato chips and even a few chocolate crumbs from the cake made by the Fairy Girl

    and talking through Life Lessons & Stories.

    Halfway through she got up and went to find chocolates.

    I took one.

    "You're going to need more than that."

    I took a few more.

    She took a handful. winky

    We considered a Coke but it was after 1am so yeah. Maybe next time.

    "How many of you feel like this life is just a freaking war? You know why? It’s a freaking war! The closer you get to Jesus, the more resistance you’ll get! The more you advance to the kingdom of God, the more shots you’ll take! Don’t be a coward who says, 'Oh, things are hard. It must not be God’s will.' The harder it gets, the closer you are to the will of God."

    --Mark Driscoll, from his sermon "I Am Victorious"
