Yes, I know you are right...it is tough when time is standing still though.

I tell my kids not to pray for specific things, God works in mysterious ways, etc... If you pray for something specific and you don't get it, it doesn't mean God wasn't listening, etc...

But I honestly break my own rule on that. I pray everyday that God makes me a better man, allows my wife to see that and allows her heart to let me in again.

My daughter started listening to "Love is not a Battle" by Warren Barfield. It's from Fireproof...she hasn't seen the movie though, but I guess the song is popular. She has been learning guitar for a few years (and I get my guitar Tuesday). It's tough to hear that song over and over again. I think she wants us to hear the words, which I know I have...I don't think she does that when my W is home though, she has asked my wife not to talk to her about the D, but she talks to me about it all the time.

Sometimes I wish she had been the typical kid who just wanted to learn Hannah Montana songs, but my daughter's first song was the into to Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. :-)

Kids are amazing...sometimes I wonder who is raising who.
