"Praying for Boys": Mid-Month Discussion Question from Brooke McGlothlin


"Take a moment to revisit your own struggles with anger.  Do you find it more difficult to keep your emotions under control in particular situations, such as when you're stressed?

Have you experienced times when you did not care if your emotions were under control?

Have you ever considered that your emotions could be wrong, or that they could lead you in the wrong direction, away from the truth of God's Word?"

Our First Year Trick-or-Treating!

Batman (Bennett) ready to go!
Sawyer was taking a late nap, so Bennett and Daddy went over to the neighbors (who were leaving at 6 so we had to get there before then!)... so Sawyer missed out on this first stop.
Our American Gothic (awesome!) neighbors :) :) :)


Superman (Sawyer) finally up from his nap and out on the town!
Figuring this out together!


This house was kinda scary, we were going to skip it but Bennett was mesmerized and asked to go to it.  
They weren't sure what to think about it, but it didn't scare them!  
A different scarier house did that job later.... unfortunately :(


Our only family picture of the night... asked a random old man at one of the houses we trick-or-treated at to take it for us... blurry and nowhere near centered, but he was a sweet old man! :)



"Oofta this trick-or-treating thing is exhausting!"



The traditional post-trick-or-treating candy inspection and trade session.






 And lastly, some pictures of my costume for the costume contest at the hospital where I work :)
 Was going for Elphaba from "Wicked"

"Praying for Boys" ~ Month 19/21

"Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the bosom of fools."
