I am pretty sure that Noah gets way less credit than he deserves. So here's a shout out to him. What an incredible man! God has just said "I am sorry that I have made both man and beast." That's gotta make someone feel good. But- "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Ah, a breath of fresh air! Now, look at his situation. He's living his life, going to work everyday with his buddies, comes home to a beautiful wife and his three sons. Then one day, God tells him to build an ark. An ark? I'm pretty sure if I were Noah, I'd be like, okay God, show me some thunderclouds then maybe I'll get my wood out. But no! Noah gets right on it and does it cubit for cubit! Now, can you imagine what an idiot he probably looks like to all of his neighbors and friends?! Building this ginormo ark for no apparent (to them) reason! I know I'd be laughing at him. Well, Noah works on his ark and I'm sure he has a tremendously humble attitude the whole time. Finally he finishes and it's time for the storm. So all the animals come, you know the story. Now, if I were Noah, I'd be pointing and laughing "Ha ha! Suckas! Told you!!!" Well, thank goodness I'm not Noah. I can't wait to meet him in heaven. But Lord, please give me the faith of Noah!
Oh, and I'm naming my first son Noah.

Meaghan dearest,
It's your baire baire. I love your blog!! It's so cool to see how God is working in your life! Does naming your fist child Noah have to do with the fact that Sheila has a cutie pie named Noah? I doubt it. But if I were Noah, I would say, "No way am I gonna build an ark! I'm not artistic, so the ark is gonna suck!" So at least you would build it!
I aprrove. Of the name, your life, your insight, your awesomeness.
