A Great Quote

Well you all know how I love quotes, this one Ann found in a book by/about Jim Elliot and she sent it to Brian, and I stole it!

"II Timothy 2:9 says, 'The word of God is not bound.' Systematic theology-- be careful how you tie down the Word to fit your set and final creeds, systems, dogmas, and organized theistic philosophies! The Word of God is not bound! It's free to say what it will to the individual and no one can outline it into dispensations which cannot be broken. Don't get it down 'cold', but let it live-- fresh, warm and vibrant-- so that the world is not binding ponderous books about it, but rather is shackling you for having allowed it to have free course in your life. That's the apostolic pattern... And those who are arguing about foreknowledge, election, and such: read those verses 14-26, and then look how the apostle is willing to leave it a paradox. 'God gives repentance,' and 'they recover themselves." Yes, yes, I'm naive, and glad to be so in such a case." - Jim Elliot

Keeley is 10!

Caralyn sent pics of Keeley cake, which I thought looked really cool, so I will include her notes so we all know how in the future.

I wanted to show you that I made the chocolate dots myself...I put food colouring with a bunch of white wafers and hand did the chocolates. I then turned them upside down on the cake, so the flat side was out. I copied it from a book, of course. - Caralyn

What a cool looking cake, and pretty easy to do!

An Ontario Thanksgiving

Here are a few pics, courtesy of Caralyn, just so the rest of us can be sad we missed out!

A funny

Today as I was starting to get Kenna dressed I asked (rhetorically), "What do you want to wear today?" as I was looking through her closet. She says "I don't care, Mom". It was too funny as she said it so clearly and I have never heard her say that before. I guess we can really start having conversations now!
