{ First Day Of School }

So, Jett is going to a public school this year and he has adjusted well. He even rides the bus to and from school! He is making friends on the bus, doing well in school (he received a 100 on his spelling pre-test and doesn't have to take the spelling test this Friday), and has come home with a great conduct grade each day! All of this is a relief as I was a little worried about him going to a big new school this year. He, however, has done fine and adjusted well. We are so proud!

Here he is walking home from school on the first day!

{Prayers Answered}

Jett has been praying for his daddy to be able to come to worship with us on Sunday mornings (he was able to go on Sunday nights). It has been two months since Eric was able to go with us because his job(s). Jett started praying a few weeks ago for his daddy to be able to "worship God's word" (that means in "Jettisms" to be able to go to worship on Sundays). And as a side note: you don't go to church because the church is the people...you go to worship in a building with the church.

Not too long ago Eric came home and said they were thinking of changing the schedule at work and that he would be off on the weekends. We were excited to hear this, but not getting our hopes up in case it didn't work out. Then last week, Eric came home and said it was official...he would be off on the weekends. Prayers were truly answered for a concerned and thoughtful little boy. He truly understands that it is important to be able to worship God with other Christians.

{ Mama, You Are The Best Mama....}

The other night (out of the blue) Jett said, "Mama, you are the best mama I ever had!" I took it as a compliment even if I am the ONLY mama he has ever had.

{ I Was Going To Post Something Else }

I was visiting a friend's blog and found this video and I just felt compelled to share this instead of what I was going to post.

The following video fills me with such overwhelming pride. I am so proud to be from Georgia and proud of these Georgians who honored a fallen hero.

Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City , Georgia on June 11, 2009.

The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough , Georgia . A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time. This was filmed during the procession by a State Trooper.

Please watch this video.

{ He Can Melt Your Heart }

"At night mommy...I give God and Jesus two kisses and hugs. I tell them I love them and I pray for my family." He told me this one night after we read the Bible (Eph. 6:1-3) and said our prayers.
