Today will be my 13th and final lesson on Isaiah. It has been very enjoyable teaching Isaiah to my 1st adult audience, but has been very challenging as well. Not only has the preparation been intense, trying to figure out how to lead the class in a teaching style and initiating discussion has been a challenge as well. All in all I feel like I have learned a lot about Isaiah and about how to teach; I think I will be better prepared for both next time.
For now, as much fun as it has been I'm mentally ready for some relief although I'm really looking forward to the 2nd half of Isaiah next quarter. |

This past weekend I took some time to mow, weed eat and maintain the yard. The grass which was literally 2 feet or taller when we bought the place is being tamed. I have fertilized, used weed killer and watered a ton. We are starting to see a few results which is encouraging, but there is still quite a bit of dead/distressed grass. Jana made 2 flower pots this weekend, and I planted a 4 foot crape myrtle (on sale for $5) in a bigger pot until I find the time to prepare a place in our backyard for it. Hopefully the rain will help!
Jana left this morning for the beach with her Mom. Jana has a teaching conference Tuesday - Thursday and so got a free hotel, I couldn't get off work because my boss is on vacation...BOOOOO! I'm going to try to get a lot done around the house this week and relax. We might be having some family in town for the 4th of July, which would be nice since the house is almost in order.
How is everyone else? |

The thing is, while life has been a bit hectic I am so thankful to have so many blessings in our friends, family, church, new home, my job and so many other blessings. I know that being able to do for others and have other help us is a huge blessing from God that adds so much to my life. If it wasn't for extremely large quantities of caffeine I don't think my mildly ADD mind could have handled.
