Egg hunt, dye eggs, baskets of prizes and candy…I did Easter activities with the kids at church today.

While I’ve had less desire to work directly with the children as I’ve gotten older, I really enjoyed them today.

Fasting

Yesterday, I turned off the computer from 11:30-3:00, as a spiritual discipline.

Even though I am not always on the computer, I have a tendency to turn to the computer in my spare time – to read blogs, read the news, read articles on my favorite websites, search for interesting clips on Youtube, etc. Once in a while I might even get a forward on my email worth reading.

Behind them was a family of two moms and two little girls, waiting for their turn to pick a hamster.

“Gross!” You say. “What are those???”

Our hamsters, Marshmallow and Creme, female and male respectively we just found out, had 6 babies on March 15th. Count them – there are 6 little pink hamster babies, one day old! We suspected Marshmallow was pregnant because her behind looked fat.

Aren’t they adorable???

Don’t worry, it gets better…

No lie

When someone who has a vested interest in a product that she praises, I tend to doubt whether she is truly telling me the whole story. I am not saying she would lie, but perhaps she would omit some truths. I would only trust her claims if I am able to prove and see the results for myself.
