Conversations with James
by adustyframe ~ February 9th, 2009My dad used to host a radio show on a local radio program. They shared Gospel music and my mom always told a “True Story from Sunday School”. Kids are so funny and our family loves telling stories!
I thought of Mom’s “True Stories” today when I thought about sharing these funny James stories.
1. He was reading a book and yelled, “Hey Mom, come here!” I went into his room and he said, “This book says no one knows if Noah’s Ark is real or not. Duh! Read the Bible people!”
2. “Mom, I was always wishing that God would give us another baby.” I said, “Yeah, Mom too!”
When I was organizing homeschool stuff this weekend, I put away quite a few resources that he’s outgrown. I was sad to tell you the truth and I breathed a prayer, “God please let us have another child that I can use all these wonderful books with.”
I don’t know what God will do for us. Along with James, I’m hoping for another child someday!
3. When we were reading about lobsters in Apologia Science last week, I read that lobsters are nocturnal. I said, “So that means they become active at….”
James looked up and answered, “The age of 21?”
It’s probably not nice to laugh when a child gives a wrong answer but I couldn’t help it! I explained nocturnal to him and then he laughed at himeself and said, “Oh that was a good one…the age of 21!”
I’m so thankful that God gave James to us. Having a child and having to parent helps keep me together through all this. I have to keep my mind off myself and all the “junk” and invest in his life.
Thankfully, he keeps things humorous around here!

I have kept a written journal of cute-funny-inspirational things my grandchildren say.
They are now 10 and 12 and they love going back and reading things they said when they were small..like…my grandaughter was 3 and she said “I used to be small…tiny….now I am medium.” Or my grandson when he was 5 said “If Jesus collected all of the tears that have ever been cried, how long would it rain?” God Bless, Pam, South Bend
You’l have to tell him that God DOES collect our tears!
Cute stuff they say;)

My oldest daughter and I were laughing so hard last night, that I had tears rolling down my cheeks. It has been so long since I laughed so hard. Thank goodness for kids to keep me sane through all of this.
By the way, do you know much, legally or even Biblically, about a wife helping the prosecution to convict her husband… I don’t think spousal immunity applies to us because I was his victim. I still don’t want to… appear in court, give the prosecution a tape of his messages, etc. But I don’t want to get into some kind of trouble.
I know in your husband’s case you were not a victim, but I wondered if you knew anything about this from others you’ve talked to, or research you might have done?
I don’t know what to tell you. You need to speak with your attorney and your pastor:)!
I will tell you that I knew the police wanted my husband and I didn’t tell him or “help” him. You have to do what you know is right and what God wants. Even if that means the consequences for his actions stink and hurt you too.
