When Jenn Dabb babysits...

Someone asked me where the black and white pictures of Chloe came from (posted on previous days).  We have the privilege to live the the Dabb's amazing basement apartment so, as frequently as we are healthy, we babysit for each other.  Here is what happens when Jenn babysits:

Not only do we get outstanding care for our children, but we also get beautiful pictures! Thanks so much, Jenn, for serving us so well!

Romans 2:20-24

Today, we will complete the sentence from yesterday:

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth - you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself?  While you preach against stealing, do you steal?  You who say that one mush not commit adultery, do you commit adultery?  You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?  You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.  For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

Funny girl

I love the way Chloe talks right now.  She has all the common little kid speech impediments. She has a lisp that is just adorable!  It makes some relatively normal words really funny!  The other day she said this to Kevin while looking at his belt: "Daddy, you're wearing a seatbelt!" She said this while snuggling with Kevin on the couch, "My teeth are getting longer!"

I love it and I know someday (too soon) she won't say these things anymore.

Romans 2:17-19

Today I memorized: 

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness...

Tomorrow's work will complete the sentence!

Romans 2:12-16

Today's memory work:

For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.  For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.  For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.  They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
