Peace on Earth

Anybody else see this last night? Pretty cool. We bundled Titus up and took him out for a picture.  OK--so the picture isn't that great, but you get the idea.  :)  Here he is putting the first piece on our Advent Calendar!  The Apple--Genesis 3:15.  The Apple reminds us of the sin of Adam and Eve and begins the long wait for the Redeemer God promised.  "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heal."Titus had his 4 month birthday and weighed in today at 16 pounds, 11 ounces.  :)  He is doing great.  Last night, he did so well in church.  He slept through most of the service and woke up just in time to get really upset at what Jackson was saying.  The text was Matt. 10:34-39 and he started screaming when Jackson said we must love Jesus more than our son or daughter.  (Listen here.) Pretty funny--and a good memory to tell him about and to use to teach him that Jesus should be our chief Treasure!  It was also a great first Sunday of Advent sermon with the verse, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."  Something to think about this season as there is lots of talk about "peace on earth". Jesus is our true peace!
