I Love Protein

A quote from Joanna (age 8) following a comment about protein:

I love protein ... although I don’t really know what protein is ... is chocolate protein?

Waking Up In Heaven

Quote from Abigail (aged 6):

I think I shall call life a dream... and heaven is the waking up.

The Browns

Quote from Abigail (when she was aged 5):

When you come to think of it, the Browns* are actually quite nice.
But I don't usually come to think of it.

On Turning 40

Another quote - from Joanna (aged 8) the day after my wife's 40th birthday:

Well, I'm not used to you being 40 - it's too old. You have to go back to being 39 again.

And another one from a few days before her birthday - conversation between Mum (aged 39), Abigail (aged 6) and Lucia (aged 5):

Abigail: "You'll be 40 - you'll be as old as Dad!"
Mum: "I can't catch up with him you know."
Lucia: "Yeah, you will. He'll just be older than you when you're the same as him."

Getting to Know Jesus Better

In Phil 3:10, Paul says "My aim is to know him...".

One of the targets that I have set for myself for this year (now that I have finished the work on that book!) is to "get to know Jesus better". My plan is:

1. Get a parallel gospel resource (thanks, Google :) )
2. From that, compile a list of events in Jesus life.
3. Go through them all with the objective of trying to understand what they reveal about Him (His character, motivations, aims, methods, etc.)

... Nothing terribly complicated, but hopefully useful in helping me grow in my knowledge, understanding and relationship with Him.

I'll try to keep on top of posting updates on my progress and interesting points or thoughts that occur to me as I go so you can follow along if you are interested.

Lines From My Eyes

Another kid's quote - from Lucia (aged 4):

"Daddy - you're joking - I can tell when you are joking because I can see the lines coming out of your eyes!"
