Wow — time flies. Here we are mid-Feb already! My mom just celebrated her 70th birthday yesterday – way to go MOM!
I’ve had a rough month so far because of illness. Caught the dang flu the last Wednesday in January! I was down and out for like 6 days — then just barely creeping along for another 4 or 5. Finally Monday I started feeling more like myself. But now — NOW it feels like I’m catching another cold…. noooooooooooooooooo it cannot be!!!
The good news is that because I was down so much I finished the first course in my counseling training. Yes, course 101 “Introduction to Biblical Counseling” complete: 20 hours of lectures and 2 books behind me. Now just 14 more courses: 180 hours of lectures and 32 books left to go……..I’m reading a good book on the organization of the Scriptures. The first part is on how New Testament is set up (what the purpose of each book is/was – what the main points are in each book). It’s very helpful. I think I will make a chart and introduce this to my girls. It would be a great resource to know where to look for things in the Bible. The book’s name is What to Do on Thursday by Jay Adams. It’s $7 and well worth it!
Here’s a funny. Our kitty died (that’s not the funny part) so we are looking into getting another kitten. While looking around I got in touch with a place that fosters out kittens to be taken care of until they can get placed. I thought it would be a neat experience for my girls to do this. So last night I was going to talk to Steve about it. I got the words out “I was talking to a woman about the possibility of foster care–” when one of the kids interrupted us. At the point of interruption Steve gave me this odd look. It was probably another 4 or 5 minutes before we were able to continue the conversation. During that time I was trying to figure out why he gave me that look, and then realized I didn’t mention it was for a kitten — he thought I was talking to someone about the foster care of another child! HA! It was pretty funny when I explained.
Well, that’s about it for me. Hope you all are keeping well!!

Ha!…I guess he’s a patient man if he waited 5 minutes to figure out what in the world you were talking about! It’s amazing actually how easy it is to get a false idea of what someone else is thinking. Sometimes it blows my mind.
lol about the kitty vs child foster care
and wow too cool I didn’t realize you were going to school to be a counsoler. I think you will be awesome at it!
Happy Birthday to your mom
