Celibate and Sane: JD is Transforming into .... What?

JD is Transforming into .... What?

"But I tidied it up!"

JD has never been the tidiest of kids, but in the weeks heading up to his 13th birthday, he has taken untidiness to a new and frankly disturbing level.

The issue of his socks appearing everywhere has been going on for some time, but in the loungeroom one evening just recently, I spotted a pair of JD's trousers, along with his underpants. What I want to know is what he was doing running around stark naked in our loungeroom! Is he trying to impress the girls next door? Does he just enjoy the freedom of letting everything hang loose? To be honest, I'm not sure I really want to know.

JD's stinky, crusty socks

During the last month, his underpants have started turning up in other places. As you might expect, I found some in the bathroom. Then I found another pair in the kitchen area and a further pair in the hallway. What has me really concerned is the pair of underpants I found near the top of our back stairs. This area overlooks our neighbours, and if he was doing any streaking that I'm not aware of, I only hope I neighbours are not aware of it either.

JD's response to why this has suddenly started happening has been a nonchalent shrug of the shoulders and a grunt.

JD's underwear is turning
up everywhere!

I only hope I don't find another pair of JD's underpants out on the front footpath from which the rest of the neighbourhood would certainly not be able to miss his display.

Perhaps ignorance, really is bliss.

Personal Quotes from Vicki-S

"Occasionally I find my breakfast a little bitter, and sometimes it's difficult to chew and swallow; though at other times it's sweet, but it’s very satisfying and always sustains me. My most important meal of the day, is feasting on God’s Word and drinking up His presence."

I love me, because God loves me. It's not that God doesn't see my flaws, they are like blazing torches in His eyes, but rather that He sees past my imperfections and still loves me. And who am I to argue with the perfect God that I am worthwhile, that I am worthy of love, and that He accepts me and wants me to be His child, His beloved daughter? When I understood this, I began to accept and embrace His version and His vision of me, and not the world's.

"The silent treatment and sulking are simply two other weapons in the arsenal of the manipulator."

"Often people use the metaphor of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to describe how we can grow from difficult experiences, but what they don't mention is the fact that at first we start off as an ugly caterpillar."

"We so often just get caught up in trying to just get through each day, that we forget to pause and be thankful for the fresh one that is presented anew and untouched each morning."

"Contrary to what we might think, forgiveness isn't so much about healing our relationship with that other person, but about healing our own broken heart."

"The purpose of school reunions is to show off how much you've achieved in life, to laugh at the once popular kids who've aged more quickly than you; and to wince at the guy who was a bully in school and who aptly became a policeman."

"I've found in many organisations where volunteers are needed, including the modern-day church, that 80% of its people sit back and let everyone else do most of the work, then there's the 10% who actually make the place run, and the remaining 10% just like to whinge about the 10% doing the work, especially about how they could do it better."

"When traced back to its source, every sin, every despicable act, and every war was motivated by someone's selfishness."

"I do not want to think of man, for that would distract me from God. But if I focus on God, I cannot help but think of my fellow man, and each day God keeps the scales balanced so that I have enough within me to do both."

"Overcoming depression isn’t about changing ones attitude, or just ‘getting on’ with things, it’s like removing one’s personal black shroud one thread at a time, with ones teeth.”
