I've never been one to believe that children are resilient. To me, resiliency means being able to "bounce back" and carry on, no worse from the wear. I think children are malleable, pliable--they don't "bounce", they are shaped and molded. Once they break, they may be lucky enough to heal, but the scars are still there (seen and unseen). As with anything pliable, given enough time, they will harden and callous. It's my opinion that as adults were are not "less resilient" but rather less malleable and more hardened to the circumstances we are dealt. Experience made us durable and rigid. What helps? We've learned to duck!

I have started a chat session with my neighbor women. No agenda, just get to know the ladies around my home. There are about 9 who are home in the daytime and they all have come at least once. It is just for an hour, and we just plan when the next one will be, otherwise we get to know each other better. We have had only been together 4 times but I can see one day someone will need something that we can help them with, or they may show an interest in something that I know about and can direct them in the right way. However, I don't want to run it with proselytizing in mind.

Today, my step-Grandaughter gave birth to baby Noah and I became a step-Great Grandfather. Noah had previously been scheduled to enter the world on July 17. But, he got restless and entered our lives today weighing in at 5 pounds one ounce. All in all he was healthy. However, as he was premature, his respiration is being closely watched and he is on oxygen. He is expected to stay in the neo-natal intensive care unit for the next 4 - 6 weeks. But, that will give moma a chance to recover and get set to enter into full-time child care. All of us are thankful for his good health considering his pre-mature status.

The diapers are bigger and cost more.

You know, if you live long enough to get really old, you WILL become like a little child!

I know this is my mistake for popping in suddenly, but I recently read something about being good; about Christians being good. I have thought for a long time that if you are looking at your performance you are a goner. But here is a thought: Everyone is in obedience to either a good Master or a bad one. It is a matter of choice, but the choice is, Which master are you choosing? Who are you following? Your love and faithfulness to your Master will determine all- your actions here and your destiny.

Sometimes, more often than not, I feel we should become more like children. Becoming more rigid can keep us from a lot of enjoyment.

The new born baby does meet the Bible Standard for sinners.

If every child of Adam was reinstated to Adam's pre-fall status by virtue of the Lamb that was "slain from the foundation of the world", then it was pointless for Jesus to tell Nicodemus, "You must be born again." And if all are born again at birth, then all are saved at birth.
