(Almost) Daily Ramblings #53
So I’m switching up my “(Almost) Daily How-To” posts. I actually realized that I didn’t usually have very many “how-to” ideas… it got hard after a while! I mean honestly, I don’t know if I can continually post things that annoy me or how to make me laugh. So I’m going to tweak it a little bit and just share my various thoughts from the day… and if you know me, I can be pretty random. I think you’ll see that it’ll be a lot like the “(Almost) Daily How-To,” just slightly different. So enjoy!
What I’m Listening To: Some random music playing at Starbucks. I’m surprised that my iPhone app, Shazam, doesn’t recognize it. I think it’s off of one of the Starbucks CDs.
What I’m Working On: I’m currently looking for a new content management system for GraceCC.org. Right now I’m looking at Ekklesia 360, looks like College Park Church is one of their users… hmmm, going to have to holler at my friends over there. 
What I’m Looking Forward To: My mom is flying in from Florida today! So I get to see her and I’m taking tomorrow off, so that means I get a three-day weekend! Yay!
Where I’m At On My 2009 To-Do List: Hmmm, that’s an interesting one. As far as reading, I was reading A Man After God’s Own Heart (which isn’t on my list). I’m about halfway through that book and halfway through Justice That Restores. I haven’t been reading my Bible every day (in accordance with my daily reading plan), BUT I usually catch up to where I’m supposed to be.
I have been learning Photoshop, started the Citizen’s Police Academy (you can read about that here), but have yet to plan my trips for this year. I’ll need to get on that!
Bible Lesson of the Day: I’m currently doing the One Year Bible in chronological order (click here to download a PDF of my reading plan). I read Genesis 28-30ish… and was surprised at how Rachel and Leah had so many children, almost to spite eachother. I’ll have to look through my commentaries to see exactly was going on there.
Quote of the Day: “I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down…” – Abraham Lincoln
Here’s my personal theory about why women have babies “to spite each other”: babies=attention for the mother (from both the baby and the friends/family who think the baby is cute). But after the baby gets older and someone else has a new baby, that woman gets the attention. Plus, back in the day a woman was pretty much only good for housework and having kids. If she couldn’t have kids, she was on her way to useless.
With Rachel and Leah, there was always a competition. I think it just got WAY out of hand!
But I’m sure there’s a lot of cool concordanc-y stuff I don’t know.
