Jackson loves being naked. Many times after a bath he will run around the house like a crazy person shouting, "I'm naked boy!" He's such a nut. Well, this morning Scott and I were laying in bed chit-chatting and all of a sudden I hear the pitter-patter of little feet. Hmmmm...Jackson is pretty much locked in his room so it couldn't possibly be him. Well, it was. Apparently Scott had left the bathroom door open last night so Jack had an escape route. When he finally arrived in our room he was completely naked! He was very excited to be "naked boy" for the moment. When I went upstairs to find his clothes they were strewn about his playroom. I wonder how long he was playing in his "naked boy" costume???

I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...
