First Day at the Pool

Josh is (hopefully) going to learn a little bit about swimming this summer. He's 3 1/2 and last year he jumped into some deep water and sank. When we pulled him out he just went back. This terrified me, which is understandable. So...today we are going to the community pool (across the street) and let he and Tressie play in the wading pool. Next month he will start swim lessons.

Did I tell you that Josh has phobias? He's afraid of anything that he thinks might get him a little extra attention. Just lately he has decided to be afraid of public restrooms. I'm not sure if I blame him on that one, but he was never afraid before. We don't let him go in alone, mind you, but now we can't flush the toilet until he is out of the stall. He has also, just decided that he is terrified of haircuts. Never has he had a bad cut, nor has he ever cried during his past haircuts, but a few days ago, when we went to Fresno he cried in the van because he was afraid we might go get one. I think he must have been talking with John about bad-haircut anxiety. Anywho, we're getting that done today too by the way. Basically, he has just been needy of attention as of late. Not that I'm not home 24-7 now. Anyway, I'm just wondering how he will do with the wading pool and swim lessons.

John and I have decided to name our upcoming little girl...
Chloe Dijon Willman!(finally)

Yeah Baby!

After today there is only four working days left for me this school year, and three of them are without students! This I can handle! Then it will be the summer off with my little kiddos and a phat paycheck! Sleeping in! Lazy daze! Sunny daze! Yes!

A Quote for Today's Society

A little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. -Francis Bacon

Wow! Is this what is wrong with today's world? Enough tink-tink to think ourselves wise, but not enough to truly be wise? Does this also apply to the democratic philosophy? When they narrowed it down to Clinton or Obama, what were they thinking (or not)?

What about the universities that market their liberal agendas? Are they counting and preying on students that are impressionable and who don't take the time to thoroughly consider matters?

Are we teaching our children at home the biblical critical thinking skills they will need to meander through life, and the ability to detect such shallow philosophies? Are we teaching them how to access the one true God, where the source of wisdom radiates?

Wow. We, as parents, have a humongous job ahead of us.

"Let the sunshine in, face it with a grin. Smilers never loose, frowners never win. So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin. Open up your heart and let the sunshine in."

When we shine our light on others, God shines down His light on us. This is the way He has created us. This is our mission; our purpose. Remember though, you must be plugged in to shine.

May His light shine on you today.
