For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us,a]">[a] leaving usb]">[b] an example, that you should follow His steps: 22“ Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;c]">[c] 23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.
This is Elisa's work for a baby shower. The mother-to-be wants to have a cook out, instead of the traditional baby shower where all the women sit around and go, "Awwww! That's sooooo cuuttte!"
Instead, we will have hamburgers, hot dogs, etc., and sit around a go, "Awwww! That's sooooo cuuttte!"
We are trying to teach Andy to read and it has been a challenge. He doesn't want to learn. He likes watching movies, and loves for us to read to him, but doesn't want to read himself. So, I'm about to ban all movies until he learns to read. I don't believe this is an ability issue. The boy can memorize all kind of songs, and even will recite the Lord's Prayer, etc. So I know he has the ability. But he just doesn't have the desire.
Hopefully the desire will be there after we give him a tad bit of incentive!
