Indescribable: 100 Devotions for Kids about God and Science by Louie Giglio (book review)

-
Squirt, my 8-year-old son, loves science. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up, we do science experiments when I have all the ingredients, and he (usually) listens when I tell him something science-related. I thought of him immediately when I got the chance to read "Indescribable: 100 Devotions for Kids About God and Science" by Louie Giglio. It is based on his popular messages "Indescribable" and "How Great is Our God."

I am all about mixing my kids' interests and God. Anything to draw them closer to Him and teach them more about Him. "Indescribable" did not disappoint. The devotions were just over a page each with a "Be Amazed" fact portion about something science related (dinosaurs or weird sea creatures).

I'm always amazed when I go outside at night (or very early morning) to see the stars. I just cannot comprehend how that could be random; it's too beautiful, too perfect, too created. Our Creator did create the heavens and the earth. So much of our surroundings reflect Him, if only we choose to see Him. "Indescribable" allows me to show my kids more of God's creativity and orderliness of our world. Any chance to show my kids more about the Creator, the better.

Unfortunately for me, my two-year-old went and hid this book somewhere so I need to scour the house for it this week so we can keep reading! Or I can always purchase it here and help support my favorite seminary, EBS in Haiti.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
