Why is it so hard to even take a shower with two children? I'm not kidding... I have dreds!

I had mentioned in my book tag that the one book that I wish had been written would explore motherhood from a reformed perspective. I know it sounds drab, but seriously... I'm not sure enough books have been written about motherhood period! I yearn to be a better mother... I yearn to do the best I can to fulfill this role that the Lord as called me to. Does any one have a recommended reads?

Isaac has his 5th cold of the summer. It's driving me batty. He is pretty darn sick - he has been asking to go to bed all morning & has already taken a good long nap. (It's 11:30am!!) He really is downright miserable and I feel SO badly for him.

I love my church. I love the people that I have the opportunity to worship with every Sunday evening. I was struck during the service last night that I look forward to that time of the week more than any other time!

Nancy, I shamefully didn't read this until just this morning (while in pursuit of that sermon mp3).... I must agree that my most frequent reads consist of the morning paper and Sandra Boyton (as well!), but here goes:

1. One book that changed your life: I have to go with the good ex-CCO staff answer - "Tranforming Vision" by Welsh and Middleton however, Nouwen's "Prodigal Son" comes in a close second.

2. One book that you’ve read more than once: "Jane Eyre" Charlotte Bronte -

3. One book you’d want on a desert island: The Bible

4. One book that made you laugh: "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson - I was embarrassed by how much I laughed out loud!

5. One book that made you cry: oh, probably some sappy Christian novel - I must confess that yes, I do read them sometimes. Francine Rivers is a good distraction...

6. One book that you wish had been written: something regarding motherhood from a reformed perspective. (I struggle with finding "purposefullness" and "rest" in being a mother often.)

7. One book that you wish had never been written: I think there is a slew of literature that should never have been written - you can usually find them on metal racks on paperback with half-nakedness all over the cover!

8. One book you’re currently reading: "the Case for Kids," Paul Tripp (I am actually watching the video series with Matt - does it count?)

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read: Matt's latest Jack Miller read regarding Evanglism. The name of the book escapes me.

10. Now tag five people: I don't know how to add links http://mmdemontaigne.blogspot.com/, http://aaronreinard.blogspot.com/, Gusmom (http://www.xanga.com/gusmom), oaksusu (http://www.xanga.com/oaksusu), and Jeana (http://www.xanga.com/jeanayah).

Tagged?!  I guess I am....  Love you, gusmom.

CK's list of SIMPLE pleasures (in no particular order):

  1. Theo's good morning smiles.
  2. My husband's kiss to my forehead.
  3. A clean house (a rarity these days).
  4. An hour to myself to do whatever I please.
  5. New piano music.
  6. Chicken, french fries and choo choo's... (our weekly tradition of ChicFillet, a lawn chair right beside the tracks watching at least 4 trains pass!  Isaac's latest obsession)
  7. Isaac's obsessions.... he gets so excited about firetrucks and trains!
  8. Our new church.
  9. A good book.
  10. The gospel - simple yet complicated and what a sweet pleasure!

oh, I wonder where Sesame Street falls.....
