How I organized My Journal

This journal is used for noting many elements; sermons I've heard, seminars I've taken, verses on various topics, even notes on blogs to write. I have numbered the pages, and I have labeled the front. The labels are then highlighted with each color representing a topic; blue-sermon notes, pink- books, yellow- verses, purple- WOL notes, green- personal notes. I've also placed labeled post-it flags marking the verses by topic (in case I need a verse on specific topic quickly). So this is one of my first steps in becoming more organized for 2011.

Left-Over Turkey Sandwiches

Tomato
Vinegar (or raspberry vinaigrette, or Italian dressing)
Cilantro
Dill
Salt
Pepper
Mayo
Mozzarella Cheese Slices
Submarine buns
and of course, the left over turkey

Chop the tomato into small pieces, mix in about 1/4 t of vinegar, sprinkle some cilantro, a shake of dill, stir together. Spread a small amount of mayo on both sides of bun, on one side put turkey, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. On the other side put the mozzarella cheese slices. Put some of the tomato mixture on top of the turkey. Toast open-faced. Yum!

Choices in 2011

With the new year upon me, I have made some resolutions; 1-To be more organized and 2-To be more encouraging to others. I don't think that I realized until I left how much time was being sucked out of my days from working at Trinity. It was all the extra work I had to do, driving to and from on that long drive, it was just robbing me of my time. Now that we aren't at Trinity anymore, I feel less stressed, my house is cleaner, and things are getting back to being organized and it feels great!

Many resolutions I make are forgotten by February in the past, but I have learned a lot about setting goals and keeping them in recent years, and I plan on taking advantage of that education. It's all well and good to make Resolutions, but without a plan on how to make it happen, the goal will never come to fruition. One of the things I am going to do to keep accountable, I'm going to blog about it...

What are your New Year's Resolutions and how are you planning on implementing them.

The 80s

Yesterday, Cj asked me if I was alive in the 80s. I told him I was, he asked in wonder, "What was it like?"

So I explained, "Well, the 80s were more colorful, TV was better (we had the Cosby Show, ALF, Punky Brewster, A-Team), movies were better, music was better, girls had big beautiful hair, and lots of boys had spiky hair that stuck up from the top of their heads. Girls wore these big things that were kinda like socks but didn't go down over their feet called 'leg warmers' and boys wore 'parachute pants'.

Cj asked, "Why did boys wear parachutes, were they jumping out of planes all the time?"

I explained, "No, they were just big, shiny pants that I guess were supposed to be made of parachute material."

Cj looked at Jerrid, "Daddy, did you wear parachutes?"

Jerrid shook his head in embarrassment, "Yes, yes, I did," he replied with a red face.

Cj said, "So, is in the 80s there was good music, good movies, boys jumped, and girls were warm and had big hair."

Then Cj looked up as if imagining it, with wonder in his eyes, "It must have been wonderful, I wish I could have seen it!"

I patted him on the shoulder, "I know, Cj, it was, it was. And you can see it; I have Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and ALF on DVD."
