The past week seemed especially long, even though we only had school four days.   I have continued to get to school early and walk and find that I am looking forward to spending the time listening to the podcasts.  The ipod makes it easy to know how long  I have been walking since I can check to see how long the podcast has been going.  I have almost run out of all of the podcasts I have downloaded, so I have been on itunes hunting for more things to download.   I decided to try some John Piper next week.  Let me know if any of you have some other good suggestions.

As you can guess from the title of this post, I am enjoying the weekend.  They are just always so short!  Usually weekends involve doing a lot of housework, but since I thoroughly cleaned house on Monday, I have not had to do a lot of cleaning today.  I have yet to get much school work accomplished, but keep planning to get started just anytime now.  I need to grade at least a few papers before I begin cooking dinner.  Speaking of dinner, I decided that since the weather is much warmer (in the upper 40’s) that we should take advantage of it and cook some chicken outside on the grill.  Of course, it is easy for me to plan because David usually does the grilling.  I don’t have to worry about getting too cold myself; I just hate to ask him to do it if is really cold outside.

This afternoon David and I went to see an early afternoon matinee of “The Bucket List.”  It was recommended to me by James after he and Allison went to see it recently.  It was a pretty good movie that made you think about what is important in life.  In the movie it was said that the Egpytians believed that your entrance into heaven was based on how you could answer two specific questions.  The questions were, “Did you have joy in life?” and “Did you bring joy to others?”  Those are both pretty good questions to ponder.  The movie also emphasized the importance of family relationships.
