Today's Verse of the Day was so cool today that I just had to immortalize it in a post:

"I honestly expect and hope that I will never do anything to be ashamed of.
Whether I live or die, I always want to be as brave as I am now and bring honor to Christ."

Philippians 1:20 (CEV)

Audio Adrenaline & MercyMe on tour... Kind of an old video I think, but fun anyway.

So, one of my favorite shows, Grey's Anatomy, featured a pair of gay Soldiers. One, a two-time veteran of Afghanistan, has a brain tumor. His "friend" comes up from Fort Lewis to visit. How do I presume he's based at Fort Lewis? That nice big 2nd Infantry Division patch on his left shoulder. (Sure, it could be a 2nd Infantry patch from Korea, but unlikely, seeing how the show is set in Seattle.)

Seems strange to me that the writers picked Soldiers to represent some of the only homosexuals to ever appear in the show.

And, like... they totally kissed.

Today my (nearly four-year-old) son threw some trash onto the floor of our van. My wife told him, "Hey, that's not how we treat our van. God gave us this van and we need to take care of it."

His reply: "No mommy, we got it at the Toyota dealership!"

Can't wait to get my ACU fabric. It'll probably be after at least another paycheck or two, but I will eventually have my very own ACU baby sling. Way back when my wife used to have free time, she routinely made custom baby slings. She still makes a few from time to time.

She said she's really glad I'm willing to wear one. Well, since the one she made me tonight is black, and the one I'm getting later is ACU print, I don't mind at all. The one I carried Ruby around in at the beach today is brown with pink and green circles. If I can handle that, I can easily wear mine.

Tonight after the two big kids were down for bed, we were just about to start the twins' bathing routine when we heard a wail from my two-year-old's room. "DAAAAAAAHHHH-DEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

I opened the door and was knocked backward by the smell of poop in the air. But it wasn't just in the air. It was on the crib rail. It was on her sheets, her pillows, and all over her pajamas. And I hoped for a moment that she might somehow be wearing brown gloves. Nope. It was poop. Covering her hands entirely.

It seems she didn't know what to do with all the feces that suddenly appeared in her diaper. All she knew was she wanted it out. So she started digging. In case you don't know what an experience like this is like, rest assured that it is, in fact, disgusting.
