Isn't It Funny

Isn't it funny how the 15th can sneak up on you because time flies when you're having...I'm not sure the correct word is fun...

Anyway, my next verse..not sure yet.

Joining the Siestas

Don't you hate it when there are 5,000 other things you should be doing and you sit here typing distracted thoughts into a computer?

2009 brings some big changes for my family--actually they're not revolutionary challenges, just some paradigm shifts. These shifts need to begin with me. Some of the things bouncing around in my brain...
--if I don't have to work, should I?
--what is my place, my purpose?
--what are the things God wants me to do for Him this year?
--why am I always so cranky? :)

I have been thinking about the verse for the first part of the Siesta Scripture memory. Initially, the verse bouncing around in my head focused on contentment:

Hebrews 13:5 "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with such things as you have, because God has said—Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

But today, I have seen the same verse in two different readings. I think will be a seconday verse I'll focus on: Romans 12:2 "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."

Both of these are verses that I have memorized over the years, but I want to heart-memorize them, not just head-memorize them.
