Meg Logan’s Blog

I found this on another blog and thought ti would be fun to replay here. This is where I found it, the Kellogg Castle.

1) Do you love your spouse?

Oh yes I do. Completely.

2) How did you meet your spouse?

I was in his dorm room hitting on his roommate, his roommate’s girlfriend walked in so I gave up, but hung around momentarily. Then in walked my future husband. We hit it off right away, and chatted the whole night.

3) How long did you date before you were married?

3yrs, (too long)

4) How many times did you break up before you were married?

uhm… lets see, once he tried to break up with me summer after freshman year (didn’t work), then again sometime in our sophmore year, (nope, didn’t work again) then I think finally we “called it quits” six months before the wedding in our senior year, but obviously that one didn’t stick either!

5) How many times a month do you fight?

Uhm, am I pregnant or not? LOL… I admit I start most of the fights, but we don’t fight too much anymore. We used to fight like cats and dogs, even before we were married. But the Lord has redeemed the time, and worked wonders in place of our failures.

6) What side of the bed do you sleep on?
hmm, if you stand at the foot of the bed and look at it, I sleep on the left, if we are in the bed looking out, I guess that is the right.

7) Who is the money maker?

My wonderful husband!! Thank you hun!

What kind of car do you drive?
2001 Toyota Echo I think, it’s green.

9) Do you rent or own a house/apt?
We mortgage a house. We plan to own it as soon as possible. Before the thirty years are up!

10) How many square foot is your house/apt?

14) Who pays the bills physically?
My husband can add, so he takes care of all that!

15) What kind of car does your spouse drive?
We only have one.

16) What does your spouse do for a living?
He works the help desk at a mortgage insurance company. He is currently doing projects which involve programming, basic supervision of co-workers, and answering phones to solve problems when they need him to.

17) How many places have you lived as a married couple?
Our first apartment for three months, our friends house for a month, our second apartment for six months? then this house for the last three nearly four years.

18) How many kids do you want?
We are still praying about this!

19) Where do you both love to vacation?
Vacation? we try to visit with family. Wherever they are we want to be!

We don’t eat out much, but my husband likes this little steak place called Logan’s. and I like to eat out period. *grin*

21) What is a great date?
Taco Bell and a movie at home (when the kids are in bed)

22) Who makes the decisions?
My husband makes most decisions. I decide what to make for dinner and what to buy at the store. He graciously hears my opinion on most things.

23) Who mows the lawn?
My man!

25) Who’s family do you see the most?
That’s a tough call. We try to see them equally and to involve them in our lives.

26) How many nieces and nephews do you have?
none

27) Do you like being married?
It’s way better than any other lifestyle I have tried. Read my testimony and you will see I have tried a few. I love my man and my life.

feel free to leave a link in the comments if you repost with your answers on your blog, I’d love to get to know you all better.

It would seem that California Democrat Lieber, thinks a slap on the hand or rump is “beating” your small child.

“I think it’s pretty hard to argue you need to beat a child three years old or younger,” said Lieber, who plans to introduce the bill next week.”The bill, which was still being drafted, would make the crime a misdemeanor and be written to ban “any striking of a child, any corporal punishment, smacking, hitting, punching, any of that,” Lieber said.(Yahoo News)

Lieber is a fool who stands not only against the freedom of American parents to discipline their children as they deem fit, but also against God Almighty. When the government decides to get involved in this, how will they enforce it? Where will the involvement end? Really what right does the government have to peek into our houses and determine if we have raised our children rightly? Furthermore, if we simply look back on the history of the US, when spanking in a godly manner was more prolific, we had less crime, well behaved kids, and adults who were responsible. Today, most kids are out of control, and do not grow up to be mature adults but instead remain childish, indulging their every desire (look at the lack of control in credit use!)

I have yet to run across a study that controls for all the behaviors involved in corporal discipline. Most studies do not differentiate between fair and judicial spanking and just swatting out of anger. There is a HUGE difference here, not to be ignored. A parent certainly CAN abuse a young child by spanking them out of frustration, too hard, without consistency, or just because they are being mean! This certainly ought to be guarded against. The government ought to protect children from beatings that threaten life and limb, but to restrict a slap on the hand for young children is just plain foolish.

The judicial use of a spanking reaps wonderful benefits for the child. It helps to control them when they cannot control themselves. “Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me” Psalm 23:4 b. The list of scriptures on the use of the rod is extensive. This article will not be going into that. There are plenty of other sites that address this.

It is precisely the young formative years when the will is more easily guided into submission that the rod is useful. Once a child is habituated in the sin of rebellion and defiance and self indulgence it is harder to break them from it. If anything, making this a law could increase the instances of child abuse in families of wild kids, because the only method proven over time to “drive foolishness from the heart of a child” is the rod, and parents will be at a loss for discipline until firm habits have already been established.

This is an unfortunate series of events. This website is likely behind alot of the fervor to make this a law. It has a list for petitioners. Well Christian parents, what can be done? Shall we also start a petition? Certainly the power of prayer is not to be neglected!

Wow, this is fantastic! I can write in script and it shows up in text. Easy posts! This IBM X41 Tablet is the coolest! I’m hooked! the stylus writes so smoothly oh! it’s great!

Everyone needs one of these! Well ok maybe not NEED. We were blessed to find this laptop used at a decent price. My husband went about two months without a laptop at all. I know he was going nuts! Now we are blessed with just what he wanted at a price he could afford.

course, now I want to steal it all the time!I love being able to write with the stylus. But it does make errors and they aren’t as easy to fix as typing.I guess I need to return this laptop to my husband. * sigh* (yep even put in those asterisk with the stylus!) Want to know more? Go here. (yep added that with a stylus Too!)

boy you human its good technology when ins posting about it!
Signing off, MRS Meg Logan

Well,

We are going to have another baby! A precious little bundle of joy. Our third. Someone totally new and different! I just can’t wait to meet him or her.

Now the big guessing game begins…. When is baby number three due? Good question since it is hard to pin point conception even down to the month this time! In a few weeks we will have an ultra sound, hopefully it will point us to a month!

“Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward. As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth. Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” Psalms 127:3-5

“Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.” Psalms 128:1-4

“And he (Christ)took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.” Mark 9:36-37

Praise the Lord, He has blessed.

(This is an email touching on toilet training, reading and discipline. I trained my son to use the potty by the time he was 15 months old. I started when he was 12 months and had just started walking.)
Here is what I did, taken from an email written to a friend:

You asked two very interesting questions:
1. How did you complete training by 15 months?
2. How did you teach your son to read?
