It's been said that when you become pregnant, you lose brain cells. I believe this is just an old wives' tale, and yet during pregnancy I find myself absent-minded and forgetful. Some would argue this happens outside of pregnancy for me-and I would agree.
Two things come to mind that show my loss in cognitive thinking (I'm surprised I can still recall them) =). The first was an email I sent out to the president of our youth soccer club with a question about scheduling and sent him the girls' DOB's so he would know what club they would be in. He replied back with this: BTW, are the DOBs correct ? 3-30-07 is a 2-year old; and 3-16-05 is a 4-year old. In which I replied: hahahaha...okay, I'm pregnant with our 4th child and I am seriously losing it. I then gave the correct DOB.
The other case, well, I really have no excuse. I'm just a ding dong. I have tried to reference a quote I read from our church bulletin several times now and I have goofed it up twice. And this has been pre and post pregnancy. I can't find the exact quote but the concept is that instead of the church stiff-arming the community, we need to run in, crawl over the rubble and be prepared to get a little dirty. All for the sake of proclaiming the change Christ has made in our lives in hope of growing the church. To those of you who know what quote I'm talking about, realize this is my paraphrase and interpretation.
Okay, well the problem is, the first time I referred to this quote, I was at our ladies Bible study and I said stubble instead of rubble. Funny is an understatement. I'm still chuckling out loud. That was weeks ago. Well, today, a comment made on a previous post pointed out that I wrote rumble instead of rubble. Good grief.
I think I shall move away from that word.

hehe - we love you anyway. =) You had the main idea. =)
"Now that the wall is down, the servants of Christ are called to crawl over the rubble with the message of salvation. It is comfortable to stay in the sphere of people like ourselves, seeking refuge in a familiar ghetto of Christian contacts. But we cannot wait for non-Christians to cross the culture gaps, to scale the walls to get to know us well enough to see Christ’s grace in our lives...We who have experienced this grace are the ones who must climb the walls, build the bridges, and suffer the stresses of culture shock. People who know Jesus must pay the price to pierce the barriers between peoples." -Dennis E. Johnson
I have it because I copied it to my facebook favs. =)
