I am a teacher.

If you are reading this you are one of the first to find out that I got the Christian school teaching job. The principal called me today. I will be teaching 2nd grade.

*Thank you my Lord, my Father in heaven. The guider of my life. My everything.*

I will not put my 2 weeks in until I sign my contract tomorrow. After I get done with work here tomorrow I am going there to sign it. Then the next day I will inform my boss.

I am so excited! I will use my degree again. I will also be teaching Baseball's sister's son. This is going to be amazing!

Until next time...

Walk the right path

Nifty and I went for a walk about 6:30 this morning. It was nice and cool then. We hope to get started a bit earlier than that. I think we can do it. We might have to walk separately to get the full benefit from it each of us needs though.

We rearranged the living room area. Since we don't have cable, we aren't dictated by the TV location. We get fewer stations with the rabbit ears now, but she's not watching any TV and I'm not watching as much. It is nice to play some CDs in the DVD player though. It feels much more homey and open (into the dining area) the way it is now too.

I read Nahum. Usually God showed his wrath in the old testament and then showed mercy. This time to Nineveh he didn't show any mercy. He had during the whole Jonah ordeal and the people had changed their cruel ways. But they went back to their evil, cruel ways. This time God didn't show any mercy. I found it interesting and humbling. But that was the old convenant. God is a loving and merciful God. *Thank you Jesus.* Biblical discussion on this is invited...

Until next time...
