Our days.....

Just wanted to update everyone on Baby Jack.  He passed away on Saturday afternoon.  The funeral was on Monday.  I know the family would appreciate you to continue praying for them that they would seek His face and have grace to continue on.  Makes me very sad and I hardly have words...  Yet I am amazed by how God used this little baby's brief life to bring so many people to their knees in prayer.  All I can say is WOW!

In other news - I have been reading a great deal about food colorings/dyes, BHT, BHA (preservatives) and have discovered that I'm REALLY ignorant about what I eat.  I looked up what Vanillin is and was quite grossed out to find that "vanillin mainly came from wood pulp, a byproduct of the sulfite process. Mmm, tasty."

Doesn't that just gross you out?  AND dyes are made from petroleum/crude oil - just like gasoline!  Why has this become so accepted in our world?  Grrrr....

So, now starts my first trip to the grocery store armed with more knowledge of what NOT to get and a list so I won't forget what is a no-no.  Should be interesting.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Lord, give me strength!  :)

Still not watching any TV during the day.  I slipped one day when JT was gone.  It was only for 30 minutes, but it just reminded me how addicted I really am to it!  About the only thing we have watched has been DVD's in the car on the way to Grandaddy and Grandma's.  We've watched Despicable me about 7 times now.  It's so cute.

I don't think I could EVER accomplish any of this without my friends encouragement and prayers.  How wonderful!  I have been so blessed!  Can't wait to see what God has for us tomorrow!  Mommy-duty calls at the moment!
