Okay that last post was written so quickly! I was in such a hurry. I wanted to be sure that I posted about our trip for family to see what we had been up to. I had to hurry though because my friends daughter was graduating from Kindergarten.
Cute.
It was very cute.
I am always so amazed that there is so much pomp for moving up a grade when 12th grade was supposed to be the big deal. Then you are going to either become part of the work force or go train to be part of it with a degree or certificate. Then you have a party, you have accomplished something major then. Your next step is life changing or defining. When you leave 8th grade or 6th you don't have any big decisions to make on your own. You move on to the next grade. Period.
Whoo hoo.
I guess that sounds cold huh?
I am not saying our family doesn't celebrate when they have completed a year of education. We do. We have ice cream and a nice dinner. I tell them how proud I am of them. I think their accomplishments should be celebrated but at the family level. I think a 3 hour 8th grade graduation is crazy. I think multiple speeches are ridiculous. Yes I am still harping on Aimee's insane 8th grade graduation.
Sorry.
This Kinder one was even an hour.
:(
Better topic:
I was reading that Eddie Van Halen got married this past weekend.
His son was his best man and his brother officiated the marriage. Then he invited like 100 guests including his ex wife. I thought that was so cool.
How classy is that?
They still care for each other enough, in a positive way that they can share these events with each other. How amazing to have been married for 25 years and know that you cant make it work together but love the other enough to want a happy life for them, even if it means without you.
Wow.
That is so self-less.
Overly mature.
I think that is just to awesome! Wolfgang is lucky to have them.
I never EVER want to have to be that mature though. My hubby is stuck with me! Forever and longer with oodles of love squished in between moments of life.
Oooh and as soon as Belle wakes up
I think I will take the munchkins out to the library.
We all need some new reads.
I have been reading a really great book about K.P. Yohannan.
It is really interesting.
It is about how he became a missionary, his struggles and how he founded Gospel For Asia.
I have truly enjoyed all I have read so far. I could never have done as much as he has. He has such pure faith in God. He feels so strongly about his job as a missionary and helping others find God. He tells as to how dangerous it can be in other countries to just admit that they believe in Jesus.
You can be tortured, stoned, starved all sorts of horrible things just for believing in Jesus! It is insane. We are so blessed to be living here in America where we can show our praises out in the open. We can listen to christian music, wear t-shirts that say "pick Jesus", have bumper stickers with our church logo and not fear death.It is terrible out there.
I have focused many of my prayers more clearly after reading some of his words.
I need some light reading though.
Some bubblegum reading.
Guilt free reading sounds good.
Soooo I think we will head off into the air conditioning of the library very soon.
