Adoption Day 34
I think the name of that list our kids need to be on is the “Special homes finding list”
Still no action on our passports at the State Department.
We bought Brenda a late birthday gift – a sewing machine. Her old one was not working very good at all. She’s excited to become a sewer (isn’t our English language wonderful?)
While on our way to an Independence Day parade in Eagan, our rear side-opening window exploded. Mitch was sitting right there and it sure surprised him. It made a mess in the van. We couldn’t find any rock or other item that may have been thrown at it, so it looks like it was just one of those things. A trip to the junkyard, $30 and a little time and it’s all back together again.
Church is at our house tomorrow. We’re (mostly Brenda, since I’m working this weekend) frantically getting the house ready.
Some families fight to stay out of the world, to not be influenced by it too much. I think our family has a tendency to fight to not become too legalistic, like the Pharisees were. Our family is around very conservative ideologies, which is good – and I don’t mean to sound like we’re not also striving against the world’s influences on us, but it seem we also really have to watch the other extreme. Here’s an example: more children, either biological or adopted does not mean someone is more holy or worthy of salvation in God’s eyes. More children just means more children. I think the correct position to be in , is to welcome what God has for you and not to judge others.
