The fats of life

Sometimes 24 hours away from home seems like forever!  We had a pretty slow shift and when we do time just drags on and on. 

Last night Rebecca braved the great west Texas corn maze with all four kids.  It's a big maze made in a corn field.  She said they had a great time but it wore them all out. 

Ok to my blog...
For some reason I have the ability to gain and lose weight very easily.  I am the type of person that if I look at a piece of cake I gain weight.  If I eat real clean and workout hard I drop weight. If I workout hard but do not eat clean then I maintain and if I eat like crap and do not workout I gain weight.  It is kind of like my spiritual life. 

If I am in the word, I feel better about myself.  I shed my sinful pounds and lose the sinful weight.  If I am not in the word, I get spiritually fat and feel very out of shape.  If I'm in the word but not living by it, I just kind of maintain....

I'm running my second marathon of the year in Dec.  I have been training but not hard and I have been eating like crap.  That is where I am spiritually right now.  I long to be in the word and to be walking strong.  To run the race to the best of my ability....but I haven't been training the right way.  Time to start training the right way in both my spiritual life and physical life...

The main way we discipline the kids is by putting them in time out or with their nose in the corner.  Well Kennedy REALLY wants to put her nose in the corner.  She has been faking being bad so that she we will put her in the corner but we don't fall for it....Well tonight Cam and Kennedy got a little rough and we put Cam in the corner.  I thought it was only fair that since Kennedy was playing rough as well she should have to put her nose in the corner....At first she acted sad...like she knew she was in trouble....Then she got the big smile on her face and ran to the corner laughing....She stuck her nose in the corner with pride!  It was pretty cute...
