Last week, our family started school! This
will be Mom’s 14th year as a homeschooler! Wow! The strangest part
about this year is the decrease in the number of students. She only has four
this year!

Work
with Josiah, administer tests, give assignments, be available for questions,
and keep up with grading work! J
People
ask me, “So what are you doing with your free time now that you’ve graduated?”
I usually give them a deer-in-the-headlights look and say, “Free time? What is
that?” J This semester, despite the fact that I am
not currently in school (that starts in January), I am keeping quite busy! I
nanny twice a week (about 5 hours/week), and intern for the Family Pastor at
our church (about 15 hours/week.) I also help with homeschooling, chauffeur
siblings hither and yon, and help Mom run our busy household.
Right
now, I am working on starting a new blog to chronicle my post-high school
adventures. Stay tuned!

things on our plates. J

Excuses! Why didn't I think of that word when looking up in the Bible? Once in a while I look up "lazy" verses because I know I'm not putting my priorities in order a lot of times. I would love to know which verses in the Bible are "Excuses" verses. Can you please share the Bible references with me someday when you finished completed all the "Excuses" verses so I can look them up too? Thank you!
I'd be happy to share the verses, Leah! I will email them to you.
