Gosh I am even willing to share my deepest thoughts on someones blog : ) Life gives us little lessons all the time and I seem to always be seeking meaning. <br><br>Now open with my son? That is not problem with the easy with some stuff--Love God, Love your Mother, be kind to others. I am still working up the courage for the big stuff. You know "the talk". I am currently planning an overnight hike and campout with him as a father-son vision quest next month. I would like a post as what you have done with your sons when talking about girls. Now that would be a great post!@davidtcopelandhttp://davidnokc.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-60678108417212561382009-02-04T04:48:14.000-06:002009-02-04T04:48:14.000-06:00Check out Jenn's blog at "My Beautiful Me...Check out Jenn's blog at "My Beautiful Mess", especially the "dad memories" category. But also the post she has up right now called: "Oh How I Love This Boy" about her youngest. There's a sentence in there that just blows me away:"Until I ask him the name of the boy sitting next to him at school and he says “That’s so-and-so. He’s not my friend; he doesn’t make good choices.” We need to show love to everyone, sweetie." Now, I know shes referring to the "He's not my friend" portion of the sentence. But the "he doesn't make good choices" part just set me back on heels. Dang 5 year old aliens and their openness. Not to mention alien upbringing...(grin)jimmy paravanehttp://paravane.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-12109460806865513072009-02-04T04:52:24.000-06:002009-02-04T04:52:24.000-06:00This confirms my opinion even more so that you sho...This confirms my opinion even more so that you should write a book!<br><br>I really don't know if I am "open". I'll have to think on it. I'd like to think I am....but then there is that sin nature that I like to be comfortable. So at point am I willing to follow His calling past comfortable---not sure. In some areas I passed comfortable a long time ago, others I am holding on tightly to what is familiar.Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-87058729420486827242009-02-04T06:22:48.000-06:002009-02-04T06:22:48.000-06:00I'm "open" to learning and growing a...I'm "open" to learning and growing as long as I don't feel like someone is forcing it down my throat (even if they are doing so 'out of love'). I love advice, unless it is unsolicited. Essentially, I like to be open on my own terms. Which probably means I'm not truly 'open', huh? ;) haha.Abbihttp://abbiz.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
