The new year HAS begun!

It's so sad that Penn State had to lose. Yet they were outmatched. It would have been nice for them to show them up and come out from under being the underdog. All well better next year.

We've begun school again. I am so glad to be back in the swing of things. I do miss sleeping in though. If you want to call it sleeping in. It's only by a half hour, but we would be able to leisurely get our morning going on and now we have to get up and get going pretty quickly.

The two older children have a short list of chores to do everyday. They take turns with certain chores. They don't like it so much, but they're learning a lot of good things that will take them far in their later years.

I know that I don't let them do anything major, but they think no one else does chores. I let them know often about their misconceptions.

We're beginning new curriculum in a lot of ministries at church and I'm really excited about it. But I already see where the theology is very incorrect and I have to figure out how to adjust that without making a theological lesson for k-2 graders. 'Cause getting into a lot of theology really young whether it be young as in age or young as in spiritually it can really throw you off.

I like how it was all presented to me years ago. Some people believe in open theism, but don't know it. Most people believe in Calvinism and don't even know it too. Now fortunately your theology doesn't determine your way into eternity, but it sure does help with your walk with God while your here on earth.

I'm excited about this new year. An opportunity to resolve some underlying issues you've had that you know about and hope to change it. Lots of people make resolutions and give up on them within weeks. But I think the best way of resolving on something is to keep it to yourself and do your best to change it and well if you can't you keep trying. I'm not a quitter, but I do get discouraged easily. God is working on that in me. We can all work on finding gold within ourselves. Jesus loves to show us where that gold is after we've tried everything else ourselves.

I know I've gone all over the place in this blog and I don't have a good title for it, but hopefully you'll find some interest in what I write.
