Waiting at Dr.'s office, water to boil, paint to dry...

What do these activities have in common? They are all things more exciting that Leviticus and Numbers. I'm in summer school and decided to read a bit. I read Leviticus and 18 chapters in Numbers. I will be glad to get past the hard headed Tribes of Abraham. They have a lot in common with my summer school kids. They whine, complain and give up easily. I'll give it to the tribes, they will repent and change for a while. Of course, if I could stone or burn one or more of my slackers, it would encourage the others to modify their behavior as well.

Bryson had his lip surgery yesterday and is doing okay. There is some swelling but it looks better. He had some questions about why God made him that way. I really did not have an answer except that God has a reason. I told him that bad things come into our lives for a reason, we just do not always know the reasons right now. I don't think it helped but that was all I had. I still have many of those kinds of questions myself. Still waiting to see...

Just checking mobile posts again.

Summer School

Since I've posted, school has ended, vacation was taken, and school has begun again. I am teaching Summer School this summer. The money is nice but the kids are a whippin'. I have 24 or so kids and all of their motivation and determination would not fill the bladder of a gnat. I would love to see how these kids were raised. I'm almost positive that they have endured all manner of parenting atrocities. I remember being somewhat apathetic as a kid about some things but these kids really don't care about anything except self gratification.

I think I feel some lectures brewing on the Simmons Lecture Circuit. I know it may be like standing on a Galveston Jetty peeing into Hurricane Don't Give a Crap but it is what I do.

I have not made good progress reading through the bible lately. I have begun Leviticus. I am surely happy that we do not have to burn our offerings to God. Most would be too squeamish.

• 6) He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
• 13) He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar.
• 15) The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
• 17 He shall tear it open by the wings, not severing it completely,

I thank God that he sent his son to be our sacrifice. He is good...all the time.
