Weighty Matters

Once again I am confused by the latest DVD I made of Ashley. (We have a video camera and when we finish a tape I make a DVD for easy viewing.) I saw myself or at least someone who sounded like me and who answered to my name. But she didn't look anything like what I picture myself looking like. And what's bad is that this happens every time I see one of Ashley's DVD's.

Actually the Bible speaks to this...

James 1:23-25 (New International Version)

23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

(Is Bible.com cool or what?!?!)

Anyway, back to the video. While I'm not sure who was in the video, I am sure it was not the real me. So I am going to go searching for the real me. I know where not to look. She's not under the covers after Eric leaves for work. She's not under the last bite of whatever yummy thing is stacked high on my plate. She's not in line at Starbucks. She may be behind the dusty stroller. She may be in one of my Yoga DVD cases. I'm hoping to find her in the mirror very soon.

Wish me luck!!

I like who I see IN you, but I understand what you are saying.
