Lonely Monday
July 28th, 2008 by Cass -- Posted in ChitChat |I have called this Lonely Monday, because I know you will not be here. I cannot believe that getting your garden harvested and providing food for your family is more important than sitting here and talking to me! Geez!
Remember I said I wanted a moleskine? I’ve kinda decided to just adapt that and actually use my NOTEbooks as just that. There isn’t enough room in a calendar moleskine for all the notes I need to take, and since I have notebooks already, I will just use them for now. Blah, blah, blah, I said all that to say that I have already used it to lay out blog posts on both my main blogs for the week, as well as schedule in some other internet work I want, plus laid out my house jobs for the day.
I also took notes on Job 5. Yes, do not choke, but I actually have done my Bible reading while breakfast cooks. Yes, cooked breakfast again. Stop HOOTING!
Anyway, Eliphaz goes on speaking things that are mostly true, but without understanding the roles that Satan and the fall play in our lives. He is not “rightly dividing the Word of truth”. God often spares us from death, as Eliphaz asserts, but He often uses hardship to get our attention as well, looking at the eternal goal of reconciliation to Him. (Where there is life, there is hope, and He spares the unsaved as well, I believe, to give them a chance to come to repentance.) Eliphaz clearly believes that God is all powerful, but I think he misses the part where God gave us free will and allows us to reap what we sow, even years later. And that the adversary also has that same free will.
Ok, time to get busy. I’ve got rocks to roll, mostly into the kitchen to eat breakfast

Busting through the day! House tidied, blogging done, email dealt with, lunch eaten, ready to start school.

So Jazz got those 2 new pairs of glasses. Which is good since she plays basketball. She can wear the “old” ones for that and still have a good pair if something happens to them. We are both happy with the outcome. Except that the sales lady we don’t like was the one “helping” us pick out frames and she kept picking up the $200 ones. No thank you! And I was very clear about how expensive a frame we wanted.
Anyway…we were at JCP so we proceeded to look at clearance clothes. Holy Cow! We cleaned up there! We bought $391 worth of clothes and only paid $88. That was some crazy savings! All four of the kids got something. I think the best deal was the $40 pair of jeans for Jazz that we only paid $10.79 for.
In a few hours, we will be heading out to pick apples. I am really looking forward to fresh sauce and butter! And an apple pie or 2 hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream melting into it.
Also, I put 7 eggs under my broody hen today. In 3 weeks, I should have babies! I am really looking forward to that. Much cheaper than buying more chicks.

Yeah, I hate it when they rook you on frames.
Great on the clothes! I love it when that happens.
Yumm, on the apples. Make a pie for me.
I hope your hen sets!
Further I think I am changing my list from a 101 in 1001 to a Before 42.

Good idea on using your notebooks. I love using notebooks.
I will need to reread Job 5. I read it over a week ago and then promptly forgot that I read it. Not good.
Wow, you are cutting your time by almost a third. I guess it doesn’t matter if you have doable things.

Well, I am not planning to list 101 things, either. 10-12 should be enough, right? But I am already not sure I can clear the backlog of crafts and books in a year. Hmm, I’ll have to think on this.
