Two words that strike fear into parents of babies everywhere. LL and I had a lovely encounter with just such a situation this morning. I don't know how other parents handle it, but at the Bell house it is a tag team job. Maggie got the complete scrub down including a bath and Mom and Dad got to enjoy being up at the crack of dawn.
Although it is mentally and physically tiring at times, we wouldn't trade that little one for the world.

New Trick
Maggie's New Trick is to lay on her back and grab her legs. She then tries to get those sweet toes to her mouth. To date she has been unsuccessful, but she is still trying.Arching her back is nothing new.

Goodbye 06 - Hello 07
Thought from 2006
As I look back on 2006, I wanted to share something that God has shown me lately that has made a huge impact on my life. As many of you know (esp. my friend Michael) in the past I have spent a lot of time focusing on my desire to have a deeper walk with Christ. I was constantly examining my relationship with Him and would work myself into a tizzy wondering what I needed to do to draw nearer. Recently God spoke to me with a simple message ... "worship me." It has taken some time for this truth to sink in, but I am learning more and more how to apply it everyday. Now whenever I feel that desire to walk deeper and or feel the need to start examining my relationship with Christ, I stop what I am doing and just worship Him. I can not tell you how much this has meant and I feel closer to Christ than I have in a long time.
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."
Desire for 2007
As 2007 rolled around I made my standard set of New Year's resolutions: to eat better, get in shape, and to do better about living on a budget. However, my number one desire for 07 is the following:

One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
- Psalm 27:4

Mount Merapi
I was looking through the 2006 TIME Pictures of the Year and came across this image. I am blown away every time I look at it. The picture is of Mount Merapi, on the Indonesian island of Java, which is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Lava glows this past summer led to massive evacuations.
