age of innocence...

Random thoughts for today:

Recently someone I love very much was exposed to a subject matter that I feel was inappropriate for her peers to be discussing. Whether they intended to hurt or not (most likely NOT...most 3rd graders are not cruel human beings yet, just misguided...)they stole an innocence and naivete' that can never be replaced...Once you know something you know it.

I know that's what God was trying to protect Adam and Eve from in the garden, a loss of innocence. Sooner or later we are all robbed of some innocence and become jaded or better yet, disillusioned, to a certain degree. If there was one thing you could unlearn or unknow about life, people, what would it be? If you could remain in the dark in one area (whether by experience, or just factual knowledge) what would it be?

Happy Birthday to my Princess

I can't believe she is THREE! This morning I told her all about the day she was born...who was there, the sequence of events, minus a few details that a three year old can't quite comprehend...

She listened wide-eyed, grinning, and then said, "Can you tell me that again?" So today she heard her "birthday story" three times for three years.

I LOVE you Angelina!
