"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine... (Proverbs 17:22)."

*Things I've Learned From My Children*

01. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.

02. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

03. A 3-year-olds voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

04. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.

05. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

06. The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

07. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already too late.

08. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

09. A six-year-old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year-old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four-year-old.

11. Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will however make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. The mind of a six-year-old is wonderful.

"...building up yourselves on your most holy faith... (Jude 20)."

STILL HE WALKED!

He could hear the crowds screaming "crucify, crucify..."

He could hear the hatred in their voices, these were his chosen people.

He loved them, and they were going to crucify him.

He was beaten, bleeding and weakened... His heart was broken, but still He walked.

He could see the crowd as He came from the palace. He knew each of the faces so well.

He had created them. He knew every smile, laugh, and shed tear, but now they were contorted with rage and anger . . . His heart broke, but still He walked.

Was He scared? You and I would have been, so his Humanness would have mandated that He was.

He felt alone. His disciples had left, denied, and even betrayed Him. He searched the crowd for a loving face and He saw very few.

Then He turned his eyes to the only ONE who mattered and He knew that He would never be alone.

He looked back at the crowd, at the people who were spitting at Him, throwing rocks at him and mocking Him; and He knew that because of Him, they would never be alone. So for them, He walked.

The sounds of the hammer striking the spikes echoed through the crowd.

The sounds of his cries echoed even louder, the cheers of the crowd, as His hands and feet were nailed to the cross, intensified with each blow.

Loudest of all was the still, small voice inside His heart that whispered "I am with you, My Son," and God's heart broke.

He had let His Son walk. Jesus could have asked God to end His suffering, but instead He asked God to forgive, not to forgive Him, but to forgive the ones who were persecuting Him.

As He hung on that cross, dying an unimaginable death, He looked out and saw, not only the faces in the crowd, but also, the face of every person yet to be, and His heart filled with love.

As His body was dying, His heart was alive. Alive with the limitless, unconditional love He feels for each of us. That is why He walked.

When I forget how much My God loves me, I remember His walk.

When I wonder if I can be forgiven, I remember His walk.

When I need reminded of how to live like Christ, I think of His walk.

And to show Him how much I love Him, I wake up each morning, turn my eyes to Him, And I walk.
