Greetings on this partly sunny but cold Tax Day! Hope you all got your taxes in and done. I am cold as I just took the dog for a walk. Sometimes I think she is taking me for a walk. Anyway...it seems I have a lot to catch up on since my last post. I'll do the best I can.
You probably want to know about the work thing. Well, I have been told I am granted another three months. That would be until June if you're wondering. I am thankful for what I have been given. I hope that I can be more efficient these next couple months, not that I am not already.
Bible study is going well. This week we went over Romans 14 about food and how some is sacrificed to idols. It also talked how strong believers should treat the weak believers. Last summer I had read through Romans and I found some notes that I had written on this chapter. It was interesting to me how it mentioned vegetables in relation to what Paul was speaking of. Why eat only vegetables and receive only part of God's blessings and offerings when you could eat all food and receive all the gifts He blesses you? Looking at it more, meat is unclean and God does not want us to eat unclean food and not food that is sacrificed to idols. I think this lesson is one of my two favorites this year that we have done, and it's sad that we only have three lessons left of Romans. It's been a good year of study, though.
I can see more clearly, now that I have my NEW glasses!!! They are rather cool and new since I was the first one to try them on when I was picking out frames. My eyes have not changed that much, just that I am near-sided still.
The concert that my friend and I went to was WAY COOL!!! We had a great time in worship among 11K other brothers and sisters in Christ. Events like that are so encouraging and heart warming.
Things at home are quite a buzz. Spring is a busy time for my family. My niece is in drama with the school play, track and YMCA basketball. She happened to do a new personal record on her event, the high jump last Thursday at 4'5"...yea!!!
Oh, tonight is the last regular season game for the Blazers, against the Denver Nuggets. If we win tonight and Phoenix and San Antonio lose we go to third place in the conference and home court advantage in the playoffs. Go Blazers! My last game of the season of going to the games was when we played Phoenix during Spring break and that was exciting!!! I am so excited and looking forward to the playoffs!!!!!
Hope you all had a nice Easter and enjoy the sunshine this weekend.
