Purity Ring

I was blessed beyond belief the other day. My son asked me to take him to Family Christian Store so he could buy a purtiy ring. In case you aren't sure what a purity ring is, it is a ring that is worn by unmarried young men and women on their wedding ring finger. It is a promise and reminder between them and God that they want to remain pure until marriage. In this crazy and sex crazed world we live in, it blesses me greatly to hear my son tell me this. Even though he is homeschooled, he is not sheltered. He knows perfectly well what temptations are out there for young men. Yet he has chosen to stand firm against them. He is a young man with high moral standards and great wisdom. At thirteen years old, many of his friends are totally girl crazy. Logan told me that he is in no hurry. He says he is only 13 and he doesn't even want to think about a girlfriend for several years. His future wife is a blessed woman.

Granny

My Granny passed away yesterday. The world just lost a strong and beautiful woman. She will be greatly missed. I will always remember her sense of humor, her graceful acceptance, her joy for life, her hard work, and her love. I will remember her wonderful and coveted stitchery, her stories, her strength, and her strong sense of family. I will remember her screaming when things got chaotic, her rag curls in my hair, her never being on time for anything, her bad driving and her ability to get lost everywhere she drove. I will remember her dirty mind, her love for Scrabble, baseball, and crossword puzzles, and her flowers. I cherish every moment I got to spend with her. Granny was a precious part of my life. I regret not spending more time with her. Life will never be the same without her. She will be missed.
