God's Boys will be good boys!
You are not the boss of me. You are not the boss of your sisters and brothers, but your wise advice will be listened to and taken into consideration. Keep advising and keep introducing new thoughts, even when we don't listen, because those thoughts are for you to do for you!
We love you but you have to learn from obedience and from the mistakes that you make for yourself.
The checklist is great and lets move to a new level in organization around here. Today the fridge! Yuck!

Why do I like Diversity and not Justin Timberlake?
God's Boys will be good boys!
I know that you want to know why I get annoyed at that Justin Timberlake and could watch diversity forever. I will tell you my son, if you will hear me. I see the mixture of the boys and girls in gyration, as much more sensual on the Justin Timberlake video than on the Diversity. It is just a blink in and a blink out, but it is very provocative. Maybe you don't know it yet, but, soon you will. The power of the woman's body has caused Adam to sell God out and made John the Baptist lose his head. There is little else that has such sway in the world. It is difficult to learn the self control that it takes not to be moved in a wicked way by the visuals of the human body. Diversity seems to be syncapating in precision to tell a story. Our souls are swayed and carried sometimes and at least our thoughts are captive to the moves of others. Care that we are respecting others in our admiration of their art. That is the point, I suppose.

A New Boy came home from camp.
God's Boys will be good boys!
A little slower at obedience, maybe, but also a little stronger in your own determinations. It makes me cry to see the umbillical cord distancing that much further with each step into adulthood. It seems so much more prominent with you. I know you love me. Keep on growing away from momma!

To market to market to buy a fat pig...Home again, home again, Jeggety Jig.
God's Boys will be good boys!
I am used to you being home and going out and coming in and seeing you children. We are blessed and I hope that you never forget the mercy of God to make provision for you to go to camp. I dropped you off. We took you there, with sister. And now we come home and the house is quiet and empty. Can it be quiet and empty with all of these people still here? Does anyone even notice that I am missing from the house? I do. Mom has a hole in her heart for each of her children when they are off. God has comfort for mommy, but it is quiet in that spot, nevertheless.
Have a good time!

Are you a son of your father?
God's Boys will be good boys!
Do you know how very hard it is for fathers to be involved in their children's lives? I am sure you don't. Because your father makes it look so easy. He is practiced and has so many male role models. I am afraid that you will be shocked at the difficulty of what he does every every day! My dad was in awe of how easy your father made it look.
You need to watch him and mark the steps of the godly man and order your steps accordingly. Don't think that if you try to mark a new trail and raise your children outside of the fear of God that you will be blessed. It is the graciousness of God that gives men the power and the strength to stay with the likes of any woman and remain faithful. We must battle against our flesh and our hearts and the devil and it is surprising what enemies we are to our own determinations. We set a standard and they are tried as soon as we make them. Make sure that you are disciplining yourself to be a vowkeeper, or your children will grow up without the blessing that you have had.

Are you a Yankee Doodle Dandy?
God's Boys will be good boys!
A Yankee Doodle do or die? It is the fourth of July and we are celebrating the independence of the States. Celebrate Enjoy the day. Go and do it all, don't miss the Yankee Doodle sweethearts and the Yankee pride and joy. Count your blessings and not your losses as you have earlier.
Whatever you missed in your childhood, as a result of neglect or mistaken priorities, catch on the reruns. Don't just sit there and count them like you did. I didn't get this and that and the other thing. Other kids had this and that and the other thing. Many have things and stuff, you are saying. Don't miss the important stuff.
