I have been put back into my place

Just about everytime I read the Bible for any length of time I am frequently put back into my place. Occassional other works bring me to my knees also. This video of a skit performed by a youth group is powerful.

Adjustments and tweaking

With Grandma Shiori helping out on the days I am teaching the kids are going through some adjustments. Aubrey really is taking to Grandma and Dylan just plays and draws.

Dylan told me last night he is sad when I am gone and I told him that it just makes the time together all that more special.

I look forward to my economic development class and the two classes I am teaching.

I am also continuing my reading of Romans in preparation for SC.

This past weekend was very much needed

We had family and friend's dinner this weekend. Getting to catch up with nearly fifty people before the semester starts was well needed; maybe not the calories though!

Sunday School is fantastic. As week just concluded the third week on the Book of Romans; the discussion has been wonderful. Paul has summarized most of what the Good News is all about. We have just now made it into the second chapter, dealing with sin. Ultimately, we should ask Where is the Sin? The world would have us think there is no such thing; that we should indulge ourselves at every whim, live carelessly without regard for others. Paul and other authors of the Bible giving testimony to the Good News tell a different story, as did Jesus.

While Romans was probably not the best chapter to build a short Small Group Study around; it does summarize so much that another class. equally as long should be forthcoming.

Psalm 89:11 says "The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours—you created it all."

So to his Glory we are here to serve God. And because the Wages of Sin is Death, we thank God for his grace that he sent his son Jesus Christ to earth to pay the price for those sins. So wthat what is written in the scriptures would be fulfilled and that we may be able to dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God....The Almighty. Who was, who is, and who is yet to come.

Wires, Mud, and Dirt....Oh My!

That's right time for catch up on house projects while on summer break. Three weeks this year. I am running new switches and lights....wire. I am fixing sheetrock....mud. And I am doing landscaping projects.....dirt.

I have also delved deeply in the Bible. School is next Monday.

Carnegie book completed!

I have to say that is the longest book I have read since Truman. It was a fabulous book about an important time in American history.

Now it is onto planning for the Fall semester. August 20th start! Not much time and it will be here before I know it.

Carnegie book almost done.

I have 80 some pages left in the Carnegie book. Out of 541; it has been a long book. I am amazed at what I have learned about him, the Industrial Revolution, and the unchanging dynamics of business and politics.

I may put the Hedgefund book on the slowburner as I get prepped to teach my two classes. Personal Finance and Managerial Accounting.
