Last night we lost power for around 2 1/2 hours. So the family is sitting in the living room eating PB&J's by candlelight. The boys after dinner were banging cars and playing with flashlights. Will, my 7 year old, shined the light and said "follow the light to Jesus". Now I know a couple of posts ago I wrote about shadows, but what a lesson this was. Here it was dark and windy and rainy. We are safe in the house - cozy (my 3 year olds favorite word). At first I was kind of upset. No power means no college basketball. Then as I watched the boys and heard what Will said it became a great evening. Will knew the light is Jesus. He has prayed to accept Jesus as his Savior and I got the incredible privilege to baptize him on Father's Day this past year. It is neat to hear the faith of a child and the lessons they teach us. Stay in the light and follow the light! Easy to talk about, but we know how tough it is to practice.
Also I did get to watch the second half of the Pitt- dook game and dook got beat! So the night ended on a great note!
One more quick thing. I love egg nog so this time of the year I usually have some Barber's Egg Nog in the fridge. Now I have passed this love on to the boys. What I love is when Brooks wants it - "I want some noggin please". Cracks me up. He loves the noggin.

We had "noggin" this morning & I had fun glancing at their profiles in the dim light last night. Will walked Rose w/me at 9:00 & he, too, got overwhelmed w/the moon, the pillow like clouds & bright stars. We stopped in the circle one street over & he exclaimed, "Mama, look at the sky! Oh my goodness, it's amazing." We talked about Karen & families & accepting Jesus & Heaven. He asked me if he would be new in Heaven since our body is left behind like Aunt Karen. It was sweet & my answers, I'm sure, were not perfect, but His eyes lit up & he hugged me & wanted to know "more" about life, heaven, cancer, families w/out Mommies...then, we started laughing about Rose's booty & of course, bathroom humor!!!!
Oh dear! Life w/you boys is such a "loud" adventure---lol;0
