Well it's late and I don't have much to say, but I wanted to wish my dear old mom a happy birthday today. In case you don't know her, my mom is an incredibly loving and giving person who is quite passionate about her convictions on things (even if those convictions pertain to Vanderbilt sports:) and has occasionally been accused of being a bit quirky or slow on the up-take. Here are some of my mom-ism's:
1. "What's a cracker?" (upon watching Ocean's Eleven when Bernie Mac calls Brad Pitt a cracker)
2. "What's learning disabled got to do with abortion? (when we were visiting the Mormon tabernacle choir and an anti-abortion protester approached us and said that LDS people were in favor of abortion)
3. "We're gonna knock the socks off of you!" (Mom's blood-curdling cheer at Vandy games that is an alteration to the chant that most fans repeat as "We're gonna beat the *$#! out of you!")
I could go on with more, but I will spare her the embarrassment. More than anything, when I think of Mom, I think of a seeker and one who embodies the metaphor of hungering and thirsting after righteousness - she always wants to know Him more and please Him more. Also, she has been a pretty darn good mom, if I don't say so myself, and I have never had to question her love for me for a millisecond because she has shown it so clearly all of my life in word and in deed. Thank you, Mom, I love you!!
(I have some pictures to load, but for some reason, blogger isn't letting me right now. Maybe later...)
