I made the mistake of looking at the faces behind the names of the Sandy Hook victims. Those sweet smiling faces :(
Our local newspaper printed the names and ages of everyone who died. I cut it out because I want to be praying for these families. Especially the parents of the children. How heart wrenching Christmas is going to be!
My life as plain conservative Christian wife and mom. My prayer is that this blog will be a blessing to all who read it. I will share the good and the bad because the Christian life can be hard sometimes.

Precious Children
I love children. I love seeing their smiling faces and watching them play. It just breaks my heart that 20 babies(to me they were just babies) were murdered for no reason at all. The brave staff who died trying to protect those little ones :(
My heart is just broken and for this to happen so close to Christmas. For those families never mind December 21. Their world came to an end on December 14th 2012.

Random Ramblings
I had so many things I want to write about so I'm just going to put everything in one most likely rambling post.
Our family has gone through much this year. Our daughter Kaitlyn going through cancer which I still find it hard to believe but the scars from the surgery and radiation treatments are a constant reminder. We lost our dear Papa Richard Mummau who was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was loved by both plain and non plain people.
Financially it as been very hard but we still have a roof over our head. The Lord has been good to us and I know He is still there for us.
According to some people the world is coming to an end on December 21 2012. Now the way I see it, only God knows when the end of the world will happen. Also if the world truly is ending, shouldn't people be getting right with God and turn from their sin? Shouldn't be God's judgement be on their minds?
As Christians we need to be in prayer and not stressing over what may or may not happen. There are so may lost souls out there. We need to be sharing Christ with people.
Well that's my ramble for now but more will probably come.

Food As Comfort??
My daughters and I volunteer as childcare care workers every couple of weeks at a church. We have the babies ages 6-12 months or so. Sometimes the babies are fussy so we give them Cheerios or these organic puff things made for babies. Many of the babies are fussy because they want their moms or are hungry. We give them Cheerios or whatever snacks their moms put in the diaper bags but are we sending wrong messages by giving them food when they are not hungry and we just want to console them? Maybe at this age we don't have to worry about them learning to use food as comfort? It's so hard to know because you don't want to withhold food from a baby. That's just mean.
It's almost 11:30pm and I'm tired and I can see a ramble coming on because I'm too tired to think what to write anymore. I can tell because I repeated myself but I'm too tired and sleepy to delete my repetition.
