Go make a snowflake.
I refuse to be held responsible, however, if you find it as much fun as I did, resulting in forgetting the other things you should be doing (like eating lunch, or maybe working).

To Think About
From The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges, p.93:
"What does it mean that God administers His discipline in the realm of grace? It means that all His teaching, training, and discipline are administered in love and for our spiritual welfare. It means that God is never angry with us, though He is often grieved at our sins. It means that He does not condemn us or count our sins against us. All that He does in us and to us is done on the basis of unmerited favor."

An Alternative to Studying
Today when I checked email there was, as always, an offer for a free degree. Today I began to consider the pros of going that route. It's free, it probable doesn't require studying, it won't take four more years, they give them to anyone....
Yes, yes, I know it's not the same as a real degree. I know it would come without getting to learn everything that I've been learning.
Still, it would be easier than spending hours reading textbooks, and it's bound to be cheaper than paying tuition and buying those textbooks. It wouldn't require juggling work and school and church stuff.
Some days I wonder if it's worth the effort and the sacrifices I'm putting into getting the degree. Some days the alternative seems like a good idea.

Finally
As you may know, I moved into my apartment about 17 months ago. I love my apartment. It's warm and cozy (especially on a snowy day like today) and quiet and just the right size.
Those of you who have been here know that there has only been one little problem with the apartment, and it's been wrong since the day I moved in: there was no light in the fridge. When I first moved in I was too busy getting settled to worry about the missing light, and then I was just used to it not being there. But.....other people kept commenting on it and telling me that I should replace it.
Today I gave into peer pressure. I was getting groceries and passed the lightbulbs and remembered the fridge. And now there's a light in my fridge and I can see the food.
It really hasn't changed my life.

Baking with a Princess
A certain princess from my Sunday School class is here helping me bake. We made rice crispie squares and cookies for Sunday School and sugar cookies for the other little monkeys to help me decorate and muffins because I had extra bananas.....
And now the princess is watching me write about her, much to her joy. She wants me to tell you that she's "all that" and has a great sense of humor and is pretty, dazzling and is overall the best girl ever. She's a bit conceited today!
She is a good help in the kitchen (and only made a couple messes). She likes to touch egg yolks for some unknown reason and was very happy using the egg beater.
We also watched Gideon: Tuba Warrior (from VeggieTales) and Shrek 2. And we ate pizza and popcorn (actually, she ate popcorn). It's been quite the evening!
