Where has the time gone?

Summer is not even here and it is hot,hot hot... but, I tolerate heat more than the cold. The school year is winding down. Cookie is in the middle of testing, I'm going through test prep with Rocco and Noahkeem has officially started Kindergarten Math-yesterday-- before church. The kid is so eager to learn I figured I would do as much K math with him this summer as he wanted and go through the "How to Teach your child to read in 100 easy Lessons"- Not because I'm down with summer school but why put water on his campfire?

In my cyber absence I have learned several huge lessons and yes I will list them for those that like lists and bullets.

Lessons I learned while missing in action

• Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.
• Forgiveness is a big deal that is made possible with help from the Holy Spirit.
• Don't stare at the guy who drives down the busy intersection with a flat front tire, no matter how much noise his car makes. He knows his tire is flat-so does everyone else. He clearly has to get some where. Maybe even to the garage to change that flat tire.
  
• Jesus loved and cared for people whether or not they said Thank You.
• If you are not sure you "need" more stuff- go with out.
• It's always okay for adults to ignore the phone while your playing on the floor. Chances are by the time you get up, trip over toys and run to the phone, it would have stopped ringing anyway or it will be a telemarketer.
