I am, too!<br />We never talk about spirituality in front of Peter - he's so dark that you just "halt" sometimes, even in regular conversation. He's a strange bird. Even Bob says he's always been like that... hated Sunday school from early on; never went as soon as he could protest enough to get out of it.<br />I think that what Pastor Dan said at church on Sunday is something I can apply when Peter is scaring me... that his darkness cannot impact me, or dim my light. Too bad for him, though, that lightness impacts darkness just by being what it is... <br />Thanks for posting you guys - I am digging this blog thing!<br />JennySingletrackJenny (formerly known as IronJenny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17806579288888081208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37369923.post-68677208701773013902006-12-26T20:51:00.000-06:002006-12-26T20:51:00.000-06:00Lisa - it's not just that Peter is not a believer ...Lisa - it's not just that Peter is not a believer in Christ, or God... he doesn't believe in ANYTHING... nothing. It's very dark and kind of creepy - but that's just the way he is. He always seems angry and nervous, and I know that my daughter especially makes him nervous (she is VERY plugged into something spiritually and you can tell it makes Peter quake). She made him an Advent wreath... the candles had peace, hope, love (and something else I forget!)... but he didn't know what it was or what it meant, so he took it home with him... little does he know! ;-)SingletrackJenny (formerly known as IronJenny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17806579288888081208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37369923.post-87005364922586614022006-12-26T17:06:00.000-06:002006-12-26T17:06:00.000-06:00wow... i wonder if garmins were THE gift this year...wow... i wonder if garmins were THE gift this year - I found one under my tree too!<br />Your family is beautiful, and I wish I had an ice pond! How cool is that?<br />Jen, as a former declared atheist turned believer who actually refused to acknowledge/celebrate Christmas for a couple of years as a teenager (much to the dismay of a very disheartened mom...), don't give up hope! Let your light shine, let him see your glow, feel your glow, be radiated by your glow; and seeing you and your examples will be so much more powerful than any blatant proselytizing... Just my 2 cents...DVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738500674863641153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37369923.post-81719201303562003292006-12-26T14:35:00.000-06:002006-12-26T14:35:00.000-06:00It is difficult when friends and family aren't bel...It is difficult when friends and family aren't believers, but keep your light aglow! Remember - <br /><br />Romans 5:8 (Whole Chapter) <br />But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. <br /><br />...BTW, I received a Garmin 205 for Christmas and tried it out yesterday afternoon. Nifty!!! I think you'll enjoy a garmin something-or-other if you get one for yourself. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37369923.post-84209257118911979962006-12-26T12:24:00.000-06:002006-12-26T12:24:00.000-06:00Merry Christmas!

My Dad was the gift giver for this one and he was baffled by using satelites to track a morning run. So funny!<br /><br />Be wellJoy | Love | Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976555367096513196noreply@blogger.com
