There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JULY 8, 2012 -- CUPCAKES AND CRICKETS

JULY 8, 2012 -- CUPCAKES AND CRICKETS

Today dad taught the Priests (boys ages 16-18) lesson at church for the young men. The lesson subject was pure thoughts so he decided to use a great object lesson!!!
This got the young men's attention and even the young men wouldn't eat around the cricket!!!
How many times do we say, "Oh it was a good movie except for this one part." Or "This great song only has one bad word in it."  We are willing to "eat around crickets" in our spiritual lives many times!!!  "Or there is just one little part."  Hmmmm.  Why won't we just eat the rest of the cupcake that is good around this real cricket???  Think about it!
The kicker on these cupcakes is that the crickets were still "twitching" as dad offered them to the boys!!! Even more repulsive!!!  Yes they are real crickets!!!

    Wow he put more than one cricket on there. I can't believe they were still alive. But a good object lesson
