Great opening night of biblestudy. God blessed me with an interesting group of ladies and a couple of friends from prior years to share life with this study. Looking forward to this. . Today is the 8th. Deadline is the 15th. I'm not ready! . And then another deadline begins. And another project list! Bring it on! . A couple of weeks ago a golf ball slammed into the roof of my car.  Last week a rock hit my windshield and now it needs to be replaced. I requested a prayer bubble around my vehicle.  This is getting crazy! :) . I'm doomed without sleep. I should quit playing. . I'm praying that my dreams are better tonight.  Last night I dreamed someone was skinning babies in the house and sneaking into my bedroom while I was sleeping.  Freakishly terrifying to wake up from. . Tonight I was the worst at remembering. My brain may be scattering. .

Yesterday we went to the library sale at the fairgrounds. "My" kids picked out a wide assortment of books.  A couple of their friends were there browsing and picking out books like "Encyclopedia Brown", even reading some before they left the sale...   One of "My" kids' favorite books is shown above.  It's a child's counting board book.  It was likely published for children under the age of five.  It is designed to teach the correlation between numbers and actual quantities.    This morning on the way to church they were reading and exclaiming how "cool" it was and counting each page out-loud in unison.  They were astounded that each picture contained the exact quantity of candy pieces to match the number it shaped.  When I explained that it was made on purpose that way, one asked "Why?"  I asked if it would make sense if the number was 12 but it was made up of 17 candies?  They replied "no."   ...

Too intent on the next thing To see what is right in front of me.
