A Love Worth Giving

This book walked through the piece of the love chapter in 1 Corinthians and explained in detail and examples what it means to love someone from Jesus standpoint.  It resonated and was a great reminder and learning to dive deep into something that can change how I love in our fallen world.

Cemetary/Heaven

We drove by a cemetary yesterday and Ruth asked if it was heaven. I said no, that's a cemetary.

There was a pause.

Then she said "well that's awkward."

Lent

So I did a thing over Lent.  My giving up for Lent to draw me closer and change my perspective was to give up cussing.

I found an app and downloaded it; and I started my own swear jar for Lent.

I didn't tell anyone what I was doing; it wasn't about getting recognition for it.  It was about me changing my perspective and response.  So, I didn't just count the swears I said out loud, but the ones in my head as well when I was upset or angry. 

$92 will be going to charity.

Hatchimals Aren't for Playing With

Elinore has been collecting and loving all things Hatchimals for about a year or so now.  She's gets them for gifts; she saves her money and buys her own and watches YouTube videos to learn more about them.  We even play a Hatchimal card and board game. 

Last night Elinore told me, Hatchimals aren't for playing with.  They are for looking at, organizing and for setting up.

Mark

I realized I forgot a few of my additional personal notes on my reading of Mark. 

• Teachers of the law went to hear Jesus teach
• Jesus needed personal space too.  (He went out on boats.)
• Jesus must have been a loud person to teach so many in a crowd.
• Just as the bleeding woman believe, so must I believe I am forgiven, saved, redeemed, blessed!
• 600+ written laws and unwritten law in Jewish tradition
• Jesus was so followed that people went without food for 3 days. (Or with only what they carried.)
• Jesus' followers discussed the meaning of His teachings.
• Jesus had a hard time getting away from crowds of people.

Fresh Out of Amazing

I finished this book up last night.  It was an alright read.  Sections of it were relatable, and reference to scripture was good.  I think personally I've already learned some of these lessons too, so there was some repetition, but some new things too.
