February 8, 2014 Saturday!

Abs and arms workout with Tamilee.  I increased my hand weight to 5 lbs, it makes a big difference.


Leviticus chapter 5 and Romans chapter 3 - both talk about sacrifices made for sin.  The old testament was a bull sacrificed for an unknown sin and Romans tells us that Jesus was sacrificed for everyone's sins for all time.  Gives a huge reminder of how forgiving our God is.


2006 - On this day, I was still the youth director at First English.  This time of year is when we always did the 30 Hour Famine.  The youth at both churches we attend now are still doing them.  It is a good reminder to our teenagers that many children in the world don't get a choice of which cereal for breakfast, they are lucky to have a drink of water on a lot of days.  The youth fast for 30 hours and lock in at church to study videos that World Vision provides for these occasions.  There is a ton of suggestions for activities during their lock in and fast, including, service projects, bible study and recreation.  They take collections from family and friends to send World Vision, which has done a lot of good in feeding the hungry around the world.  Very worthwhile.  If a youth approaches for this charity, please by generous.  $30.00 can feed a child for a month.


Parenting - How not to raise an entitled child.  Make sure they are familiar with the condition of the world around us.  We live in the top percentage of wealth in the world and so often forget that point and forget to teach it to our children.  Gratitude is a healthy trait and charity is good for the soul.


Book club -  The Nine, about the Supreme Court.  Getting off to a slow start, but I am learning something. 


Wyoming - Jackson Hole - this is not what you would call a "rich" community, I don't think.  Somehow I don't think they are the keeping up with the Joneses types.  Not a bad thing, what do you think?
