Back to Routines

We started back to homeschooling on Monday. So this will be our third day back in the groove of things. It's so nice to have time off and be with family and friends, but there's some good things about being back in routine as well.

As far as reading Bible, I've not missed a day so far. I'm learning that you have to look at the historical background of when a book in Bible was wrote. So that "can't live beyond being 120" can't be because Abraham and Sarah both lived beyond 120 and we think that they lived after Noah's time. A friend tells me that you have to go back to the Hebrew text in the Old Testament and that dates were not that important to the Hebrew people. And although the Bible is inspired by God and is God breathed, each book has a flavor of the person who wrote it. I want to know more about God's word. I know a lot, but when I read scripture I want God to make it real and point out truths that will change my life and my children's lives.

Speaking of my children, they are both healthy right now. Daughter's hand is much better...after much thought...we have decided that she most likely hurt her hand doing something out of her normal. We do see the OT on Thursday and will have some splints for her to wear during the day time. I hope that these day time splints make a huge difference.

Off to begin morning routines and get some schooling underway.
