Interesting

Titus is going to Vacation Bible School this week and their theme is "Joshua." We also read a short Bible story to Titus everynight from his Children's Bible. We go in order in the Bible from front to back, we bookmark where we are. Well he started VBS yesterday, and last night in his Bible his story was about Joshua (when he was a spy). Then tonight his story was about Joshua and the wall of Jericho falling down. Earlier today when I picked T up at VBS, the song they were singing was: "Joshua fought the battle at Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down." I guess God wants Titus to learn about Joshua, He is reiterating it to him multiple times this week.
BTW... Titus likes going to VBS even though he knows NOBODY there (he met someone today, they were flipping through the church's hymnals today when I picked him up!) He adapts easily, always has. He did tell me this afternoon that he was sad when I dropped him off today. He said he wanted me to stay (I didn't know that.) It was sweet when he told me that.

Lightning Bugs

I walked outside tonight at 9:00 to take my trash can & recycle bin out to the curb for trash day tomorrow. It was the perfect time to go outside tonight because the lightning bugs were lighting it up! Those little creatures still amaze me. We didn't have those in Florida, so growing up I only saw them when I visited my cousins in Iowa and Indiana. I no longer smash them on my finger nails and think that is cool that my nails light up for a few seconds. But I did think about doing that. Not really, but I did want to catch some and put them in a jar so Titus could see them in the morning. He would think I was so cool if I did that. But I remember catching them as a kid and even if you poke the holes in the top of the container they are still going to die by the morning.
Long story made even longer, I enjoyed seeing the lightning bugs tonight. They looked so pretty lighting up in the green belt and all around outside. I loved it.
