How much longer?

Memorizing: learn by heart.

I looked up the definition of memorizing today while contemplating my continuous need for meditating on scripture. Websters defines it

Memorizing: to commit to memory: learn by heart.

Not just learn by mind, but by heart. Dallas Willard writes: "...memorization is vital. It is astonishing how little of the Bible is known "by heart" by people who profess to honor it. If we do not know it how can it help us? It cannot. Memorization, by contrast, enables us to keep it constantly before our minds. And that makes it possible to consciously hold ourselves within the flow of God's life which is Torah and Logos."

Sooo, Here is one I am working on now.
Matthew 11:27-29 (NIV)

27"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Good music

random movements...

It has been going on for a few months but continues to get more crazy. I am referring to the jolt that I have everyday several times a day. You hear about pregnant women feeling their baby move but they never told me that is is jolting. It is so funny, I'm sitting there in church or at one of Mike's shows and she's like "I like this music, I'll dance". It is so strong that I actually move without meaning to. I mean I have literally rocked back and forth from it. My friend Jill and I said that we always thought it was weird how pregnant women are rubbing their stomachs. We had both vowed not to do that. Well I learn the more you say you'll never do it in reference to motherhood, the more likely that "never" will come back to haunt you. Later Jill and I admitted we were both certified belly holders. It is because of this: the bigger the baby the more noticeable the movement. So much so that someone can see from across the room. That's why my hand is on my stomach...why is yours?

a list to update you.

*Basement flooded, lost lots of stuff, threw away about ten boxes and donated fifteen to Goodwill...something I wanted to do before the baby but probably wouldn't have if there hadn't been such an urgent reason. How did I get so much crap anyway?

*No traveling when you are this pregnant. No Miami Beach, No Europe, and oh I miss it. Does Cincinnati count as a vacation?

*Lachlan & Terri had their baby, Ellory Sue. She is so sweet and I am so glad we will get to raise families together.

*Pray for Mike, we see the spine specialist on Monday.

*Been sewing a lot. Lots of good projects I want to show, but my little CyberShot is sick... we are shopping for a new camera.

*Mike's amazing band plays again at the Jazz factory in a few weeks...more on that later.

*My dear Carrie is having a baby too. Love you Carrie.

*The girls are planning another reunion, Kirsten will be on the road and we'll miss her.
