I love the rooster at the top of the page. He's symbolic for me. He heralds each day reminding me that God has given me another one and to be excited about the "something good" that's going to happen. I also think about Peter, the apostle, who had to endure the rooster's crow every morning and be reminded of how he momentarily failed his Lord. I imagine there were times he wanted to wring that bird's neck.

I'm a lot like Peter in his early years. I make lots of mistakes, but I believe I have good intentions. I'm thankful that God still loves me despite my mishaps. He has always been steadfast about providing an open door when my windows all get stuck.

I no longer have children to teach. My 21 year old son is on his own making his way in the world. However, God has given me the opportunity to work within the homeschooling community. He reminds me that I still have something to offer...and, a great deal to learn.
