Hands up!

The boys playing 'police-catch-thief'.Seriously, I don't know where they pick all these up from,since i don't let them watch TV nowadays,not to mention those that involve shooting,violence and stuff. Is it a boy thing?

I am in a kind of a crossroad recently, actually i think I have already decided which route i want to take and feeling really scared about it. But like my best friend said, when all the false securities are removed,all that is left is to trust that God will provide,as in the song lyrics below.

I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day;
I don't borrow from its sunshine,
For its skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future, For I know what Jesus said;
And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what lies ahead

(chorus)
Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand

Ev'ry step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb; ev'ry burden's getting lighter,
Ev'ry cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow, Where the mountains touch the sky.

Yes, my friend, it's a "boy thing." I felt exactly the same way when David picked up a toy gun...

I think you're going to take the "road less traveled," and do well with God as your co-pilot! xx

Life is all about changes even those you decided must wait for a while..God is with you and the Soul is Eternal, what you don't have time to do in this lifetime, you can do in the next ;)

I was wondering how to ask you about the gun-play but you have answered it with your own question . . so difficult to avoid all the influences in life and, maybe, we shouldn't. Who knows.

Yes, definitely a boy-thing. Robyn likes to play dress-up toys and doll houses while Marcus likes trains and cars. So, there is certainly a 'nature' component and the 'nurturing' enhances it.

Boys being boys. It happens. Friends are their primary teachers where these kinds of things are concerned. The key is giving them a good home base. Your song says it all.
