dinner time conversations

sitting down at the dinner table at our house includes five people.  two adults and children ages 8, 5 and 3.  i am loving some of the "conversations" we are having lately.

"8 year old boy, where does an empty bag of pepperonis go?" asks parent.

"uhh, in the refrigerator," says 8 year old boy.

"uhh, no, it goes in the trash can," says parent.

"yeah, if you put it in the refrigerator, it's called 'glittering,'" says 5 year old girl.


stay tuned for more cox dinnertime "conversations"...




may the awkwardness bring God glory

i love my church.

there is no perfect church.

i love my church.

but sometimes, there are awkward moments...because we are talking about real people.

i am on the worship team which means, i am given a microphone.  this allows for countless opportunities for awkwardness every sunday.

so last week, for the invitation, it happened that i sang with the organ.  that was a first.  it could have been worse.  there was no rehearsal.  we got through it.  the end.

i only pray that God uses the awkward moments to bring glory to himself.  it is quite humbling and God teaches me a lot about how little and weak i am through the awkward moments.  may He get the glory and no one else!  amen.
