Day 31.  This post is for yesterday.   I did take the pic yesterday but didn't get around to posting.  So, I'm doing it today.   I waited until it was to late and then didn't finish.  No, I was not procrastinating.  I was busy, that's all.  How long does it take a procrastinator to change a light bulb?  I'll tell you later.

Look in the concordance in the back of your bible and see how many scriptures have the word love in them.  How many songs have been written about love?  Wars have been fought for love.  Lives have been given for love. 
 All I know is that LOVE ROCKS!!!

Day 29.  Almost a month in to this project and I finally have at least one picture of each of my children.  Matthew wouldn't cooperate with me until I mentioned using his guitar.  I guess it's kind of a crutch for him.  It is very natural for him to hold and play.  Maybe, it's more of a security blanket.  At least I got a picture.  Matthew leaves for school tomorrow, and he's taking his guitar with him.

Day 28.  Am I blessed or am I cursed?  Well, I know that I am blessed.  But, with two beautiful daughters who are growing up too fast, I am not so certain.  I know the day is coming when I will have to deal with boyfriends.  For one girl maybe it won't be so bad, depends on the boy, but for both at the same time it may be more than this father can handle.  Thank goodness I still have some time to prepare for this.  Until then, I will be the best guy in their life.  Hopefully that will make it very difficult for any boy that comes around.

What's your sign?  Are you a stop sign or a yield sign?  How about a "yikes" or "the end"?  I was listening to some worship music this afternoon and a song came on that I have heard many times but never really paid attention to the words.  But today was different.  One part really stuck in my head.  It was Kutless' "What Faith Can Do" and the part that got me was.
                      "It doesn't matter what you've heard
                        Impossible is not a word
                        It's just a reason
                        For someone not to try"
Street signs have to be obeyed.  But, when we put signs up in our life that make us stop short or not even try, then we are missing a big part of life.  Impossible is not a word, it is an excuse.

Who doesn't love bubbles.  Little kids and big kids alike love bubbles.  Even puppies love bubbles.  I love to see how many I can make at once or how big they can get.  I try to catch them and stack them.  But, we forget about them.  It's like flying a kite.  Almost everyone loves to fly the kite but we seldom have time.  There's not enough wind, there's too much wind, we always can find an excuse and then forget how fun it can be.  So, this year I will try to have more fun with simple things like bubbles, and kites, and riding bikes, oh my.  It's going to be a good year.

Day 25.  Well, not great, but pretty cool.  It took me several hundred takes and hours of trying.  Was it worth it?  Yes, or I wouldn't have posted it.  A lot of things don't seem worth trying until you spend some time doing it.  But, if you try you might find a great new passion.
