A Daddy Alarm,
By Julie Banton
Pierson Station, Illinois,, USA

At our house we have a "Dad Alarm.” This is a recurring alarm that I set on my cell phone. It goes off one hour before my husband arrives home from work. It reminds my children to clean up any messes around the house and tidy themselves up. It reminds the older children and me to start supper. It also reminds me to make sure my clothes are fresh, to fix my make up and my hair and say a prayer for my big sweet hubby.

To be honest, we are not as consistent with this as I would like to be. Sometimes the alarm goes off and I ignore it, thinking to myself "too busy." But when we are consistent, the results are not only a blessing to my husband, but a blessing to our whole household. My husband is never "too busy" to go to work to provide for his family and this family should never be to busy to provide a warm, clean, "Welcome Home" for him.


Here is a picture of my sweet hubby! I am so blessed to be his wife, and I will for sure be implementing the Daddy Alarm at our home! :) You should too!!! :)

Psalm 101:3 Laughs

In this post, I mentioned about godly entertainment choices.

We have Sirius satellite radio, and there we were introduced to Christian Comedian, Bob Smiley. He is so funny and his sets are God honoring! What more could you want? :) Be sure to check out his website and listen to some of his stuff. We are huge fans, and we think you should be too! :)
How big of fans are we? We were making plans for our two year anniversary and had nothing down on paper yet... one month away, so I took over the planning. ;) I was looking at Bob's website and saw that he would be at the Woodland's the weekend we were planning to celebrate. Now we had plans! We planned the whole weekend around his show. We were so glad we did! We had a wonderful weekend, a wonderful night at his show, and we got to meet him!!! :) (Please excuse this less than stellar picture of me. I don't like it- but it is the only one we got with Bob, so there ya go)! :)

Psalm 101:3

Psalm 101:3 says: "I will set before my eyes no vile thing."

We Christians do not follow this I am afraid. After becoming a Christian I knew certain movies were unacceptable to God, so I got them out of my life. Easy. Then I heard God again prompting me, but I (once again), didn't like what I was hearing. If you study the word, "ungodly," you will find that it is not a synonym for wicked; no, it is an antonym for godly... meaning simply, void of God. So in other words, a rated R movie with sex and cussing is wicked, while a Disney movie is only ungodly. Starting to make sense? Every time I would hear a sermon on ungodliness or read it in God's Word, I would see Disney, but I would shake it off. There is nothing evil about Disney, and I didn't own any rated R movies, so what is the big deal God?

The big deal? When I sat in front a t.v. show or movie for like 2 hours... well, that was 2 hours I could have spent with God. God created us to glorify Him, to love Him, to fellowship with Him. How is watching Beauty and the Beast fellowshipping with God? It is not. I may have a little free time now, but when kids come it will dwindle to nothing, I am aware. How should I spend my free time... with Cinderella? Or with God? Um, yeah, GOD!!!

God called us to give up all our secular movies, and only keep the movies that are godly. This way, if we watch a movie in our free time, we are still spending time with God!

I challenge you today to go through your movies, music, books, and tv shows and pray for the Holy Spirit to convict you! Let me know if you do get convicted so we can pray for your strength to turn away, and also so we can praise God together for the work He is doing in you! :)

On The Rocks

As most of you probably know, whether or not you are a viewer, Jon and Kate have a big announcement tonight. I am praying it is that they are quitting the show to heal their relationship, but I fear it will be about divorce. :(


We need to pray, pray, pray for this family!!! Even if they announce divorce, or even if they get divorced, they can still mend their relationship.

Despite the obvious fact of them having 8 kids-two sets of multiples- do you know what killed their marriage? Do you want to know how to avoid their fate?

They put their kids before their marriage. Period.

You see we must put God first, Spouse second and children third. If these get out of order, trouble will occur!!!

In Mark 10:8, Jesus says, "AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh."

Where in the Bible does it say that we become one with our kids? NO WHERE! We are one with our spouses! They MUST come before our children!

Seems too easy right? Well, it is really. If we live our lives the way God intended, then life will be easier, (notice I said easier, not easy. Jesus promised life would be hard- BUT if we keep our priorities in order, satan will have a harder time bringing you down in those areas). :)

I fear we have become desensitized to divorce in this culture. It breaks God's heart, and it should break ours too. I am heart broken for Jon and Kate, and I hope you join me in praying for them.

Raise 'Em Right!

It is never to early to get your children into witnessing! Here is the way I look at it: if we are willing to show our support of our favorite sports teams, etc on our babies/children/selves- why not show our love of our Savior? :)

These first two websites hold wonderful baby shower gifts for your friends, hint hint! ;)

I was at the Christian store about 6 months ago and I about peed my pants in excitement- no joke. I saw onesies with cute sayings on them, much like the shirts that I love and wear frequently! Ladies, I give you Little Disciples:

Um yeah. How cute is that?

Okay, so remember when I said I almost peed my pants? Well, I ALMOST peed my pants, but I FOR SURE cried in the middle of the Christian store. This onesie is was the culprit! Just think of your little newborn in the hospital- is there a more joyful noise in the world? I don't think so! This made me think of that!

Little Disciples in their own words:

"Why is the Little Disciples company mission?

Our mission is to provide Adorable, soft, high quality Christian clothing for babies and children that spread the word of God through creative, fun designs. These Christian baby and toddler clothes have a biblical/religious theme and make for great baby shower gifts, christening gift and church clothes.

LittleDisciples offers a whimsical selection of embroidered and screen printed, Christian designed clothes, and coming soon are bibs, diaper bags and accessories. Our Christian clothing, whether purchased as a gift for your baby or given as a baby shower gift, are seeds planted into the life of a child or expecting mother."


Yes, Little Disciples will be getting my money for sure once God decides to bless us with our little ones! Seriously, I want their whole wardrobe to be witness wear! Another store that will surely get my patronage, Faith Baby:
You can never have too many witness onesies- well, at least I can't! :)



Kerusso is my favorite place for tshirts! They also have other fun accessories! The best part- they clothe the whole family, not only babies as the above sites do! Be sure to check them out!
