Do I know what I am doing?  Of course not.  Remember, blogging was going to be a learning process for me so that my brain didn't atrophy.  Last night, after a whole bunch of HTML trial and error (12 yo computer guru was in bed) I made great progress on my template.  And then, while I was uploading stuff on Photobucket, my modem quit transfering data!  You know what happened next -- the SAVE CHANGES button for my template would not work.  It was the Lord telling me to get to bed, that Saturday night is not the night to stay up late messing with blogging vanity. So rather than reconnect the antiquated dial-up and start over (and undoubtedly stay up till all hours of the night), I obeyed and went to bed.  Good news -- since we have no violin teacher currently, we are going to use the money we would be spending on lessons to get DSL!  Yippee!  This is supposedly so that my daughter can watch master lesson videos online and teach herself, but I know there will be lots of other advantages, not the least of which will be blogging improvements.

Tonight God has not told me I have to go to bed yet , so here I still am at 11:00 pm. The night is young! I have not been able to work out the sizing inconsistencies with my little cacti over on my sidebar. The images are all the same size, so I'm guessing is has to do with the code somehow... that is not something I am likely to figure out on my own.  Will have to wait til the guru is available.

ATTENTION!!!

If any of you have a good hands-on Bible curriculum or Sunday School curriculum for preschoolers/kindergarteners, or if you know anyone who might, PLEASE let me know.  Preferably something that does not take a whole lot of teacher prep. We have a class of three busy little creatures who need to be DOING something while they are listening, and our current material is not keeping their attention!

Anyone remember what the sermon was about Sunday morning? Or did you forget already?  We had a good message from Matthew 14, about Peter walking on the water. A point I liked is that the Bible says Jesus "stretched forth his hand and caught him".  I wondered how far away Peter was from the Lord when he cried out, "Lord, save me!", but really it doesn't matter.  If he was right next to Jesus, his arm only stretched a little bit, and if Peter was twenty-five yards away, Jesus stretched his arm out a lot.  But in either case, no matter how close or far away you are from the Lord, his arm will reach you. You are not too far away to be saved.  Praise the Lord!
