what's up

So I'll just update and let everyone know what's up. I don't know about anyone else but I remember when I was younger and I would do something wrong, I would always stay away from my mother. Even when I moved out, and I would be doing something I knew she wouldn't approve of, I just wouldn't call her for weeks at a time. I bring this up because I have stayed away from here and from God for a long time because I have not been living a Christ like life. I know we all stumble and we all still fall short of God's glory, but man I was making deliberate decisions to take the other path. The problem with this is when I go the other way, I don't talk to God, I don't want to be around Him. Then things start falling apart, bickering in my house, funds start being a problem, I mean everything is affected. Fortunately I know where to turn and I'm getting less stubborn about turning there when I need to. This past Sunday morning we had all slept in till about 8:45. I got up and looked at Caleb and said, "So I guess we're going to the 11:00 service." He grumbled and mumbled for about 10 minutes. Then he came around to the kitchen put his arms around me and said, "Thank you for making us go to church." Now he didn't mean that I was forcing them, he was saying thank you for holding him accountable. That day we had the best day together as a family. We went out to eat, took naps, and did some yard work. It was an excellent day.
On a different note ZJ has been dry for 3 days, working on day 4. We will be done with pullups comepletely by the year's end. (She still has to wear them to sleep.)
Another different note, anybody reading this in the same area as me, my mom and I are wanting to do a biggest loser contest. Start up is $10, then a dollar for every pound gained. Weigh ins weekly, probably last 8 weeks or until you reach your goal weight. Anyone interested just let me know.
