Praises of a Wife and Mommy

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Puppies vs. Babies for SocialSpark . All opinions are 100% mine. It is time for the world to vote so we can find out who is cuter- Puppies vs. Babies !  I first must say that my two children are by far cuter then any puppy!  Now that I got that business out of the way it is time to go and get your vote out there.  Take some time looking at the puppies and babies and then make sure to vote for the cutest  at the  Puppies vs. Babies online contest !   I am sad my two children are not out there for you to vote for them since I know you all would agree that my 2 children are so adorable.  :) :)    I am going to go and search the babies and go vote.  I will not vote for a dog!  No way can I vote for a dog before a baby, it is like saying I would save a dog before a baby in a burning house.  God wrote in his word that we have dominion over all the animals so to me it just sound...

  I will be doing the 30 days to hands on play challenge.  :)  I will be honest and admit I know I might miss a few days so my 30 days might be more like 40.  I am going to be out of town for a few days so its a good excuse.  :)   What is 30 Days to Hands on Play?

How will the challenge work? The Imagination Tree  and I will alternate  [on our blogs]  with a play activity challenge each day for the month of November. These play activities are meant to be simple, and to use what you have on hand. We will each be doing each day's activities together with you, and there will be further discussion that can be found on  The Play Network  to share what you did for that day's challenge. Through these discussions we hope to i...

Romans 12:9  9  Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. The specific word used for "love" here is that wonderful word "agape," which is the unconditional and unmerited love of God. It's not a love that comes naturally to us but is supernaturally given to us by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). This agape love is to the Christian life what mortar is to a brick wall: without it, everything falls apart.  Notice that Paul combines this love with the exhortation for it to be "without hypocrisy." You might be interested to know that "hypocrisy" was actually a theatrical term back in biblical times. It literally means "wearer of the mask." It described actors who would pretend to be different characters by wearing masks portraying various features. We can be guilty of doing the same thing in the Body of Christ; we can put on a fake front by pretending to love others.  But preten...
