From "Bad Boy" To Family Man....

Blogging Friends.... At a birthday party on Sunday, I impersonated Tony/Stark/Iron Man {It was for the kids!! But I rather enjoy being Iron Man, thank-you very much!!} Then I caught my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing a colorful polka dot party hat and girly-looking bow tie!! How very cool. Not really!! Tony Stark wouldn't be caught dead wearing a colorful polka dot party hat and girly-looking bow tie!! Robert Downey Jr. on the other hand.... And I love, love, love him for it.

I found this last night!! Be. Still. My. Heart....

{Interviewer} Are you enjoying fatherhood the second time around?

{Robert Downey Jr.} I love it. I love being with Exton and trying to communicate with him on his level. What's fascinating to me is that when I was in my twenties I could never have imagined myself as a married guy in his forties raising a young son and having this very mellow life. Now I'm in the process of accepting the fact that I am that guy!

It's nice to see Robery Downey Jr settling down into fatherhood after his troubled past.

Thank-you for the comment, Friend!!
"Sounds like you had a lot of fun Raelyn, bet the kids loved you in your Iron Man costume, I can just see them smiling." Costume? What costume? Aside from wearing an Iron Man T-shirt, I wore nothing that had anything to with the superhero!! Hee, hee, hee.... ;-D
No, it was just random play. Not at all planned!! Two of the kids requested that we play superheroes and appointed me Iron Man!! Because I have a reputation....!! ;)
"It's nice to see Robert Downey Jr. settling down into fatherhood after his troubled past." I can't but agree!! Being a family man suits him well, doesn't it?! ;op; July 17, 2014 at 6:41 AM

"Within The Womb I Formed You"

Bob Kauflin

I fashioned and made each part
I thought of your fingers, your hands and your feet
Your mouth, your lungs, your heart
Though you might think that you're different
I made you the way that you are
So you could discover the God who made you
And find out all I am
And though you might think you have limitations
There are no limits with me
When you turn your eyes to my salvation
Finally you will see
In Me, you have all that you need
In Me, you have all that you need
In Me, you have all that you'll ever need.
And I've heard each prayer that you've called out
"Why did you make me this way?"
You may not completely understand now
But there will be a day
When I make everything known to you
And what you don't now understand
You will see that I'm wise and I'm mighty and good
Just like all my plans
And if you trust in the work of my Son
One day you will see
That I've made you the way you are
To draw your heart to me
To draw your heart to me.

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
