The good news: Sam and Sarah are expecting a baby in May. At twelve weeks, the baby is the size of a kumquat. Hey, that's a great name--Kumquat Plummer, and it works for either sex.
The bad news: Kim Kardashian is getting a divorce after 72 days of marriage. Darn it.
The good news and the bad news: Jesus loves Kim Kardashian as much as he loves you and me.
Good for the Plummers! Since the world now has 7 billion people, what is one more? Like my grandma always said, "If you can feed four people, its not hard to feed twelve." (She had a boatload of kids.) Although I don't doubt Jesus has love for Kim Kardashian, I do think He would be shaking his head, wondering how she missed some really basic lessons He taught. On to the really great news - Louise has leopard print Biorn shoes!! I may have to upgrade to dark blue from my basic black Biorns.
I had to look up what a Bjorn shoe was. Hick that I am. But I can see why all are entralled with them. Good news for Kumquat Carrier. I hope that's contagious.
I question this assumption that Jesus loves Kim K. as much as me and you. I know it feels good to say Jesus loves us all the same, but we know that God has a "chosen people." So doesn't it follow that He also has a "less chosen" people?
Even though it feels distasteful, I don't think God really loves us all "the same." I think He has preferences. Like how we all have a favorite kid, but no one likes to admit it.
Kumquat! Love it! I'm so excited!

Bjorns. Sheesh. I wear the silly things everyday. You'd think I know how to spell them.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is: the baby has graduated from the size of a kumquat to that of a medium shrimp. I think a kumquat is way cuter, though.
ReplyDeleteIn other news: I've never watched the Kardashians. I'm thinking this is a good thing.
i have a healthy appreciation for kumquats, shrimp, bjorns and the kardashians.
ReplyDeletecongrats!

ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that God does love all of us, and I am guessing He doesn't like it when one of us spits on the sanctity of marriage vows.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the newest Plummer.
Congratulations to all of you! Baby news is the very best kind.
