Trip to museum yesterday was wonderful, and I'm not sure who had more fun---me or the kids. That's saying something. We went to the planetarium there too, and had never done that. The only downside was the evolutionary position of the program. Didn't know we were made from stardust, did you? Huh! I told my mom about their angle on creation, and she said it was unfortunate that kids these days learn that as being truth. She mentioned that she was glad I'd not had that problem, but I had to dash her rose-colored thoughts, because I remember even in junior high being confused at the creation/evolution stories. Knew God was Creator, but the other stuff....not so much. Dinosaurs were a big puzzle to me then. My mom was a bit hurt, I think, to hear from me that I never remember this being a topic of discussion at home. Well. It wasn't!
Homeschooling has taught me as much as our children. Good thing, eh?
Now I'm just sitting here with Pugs. All children are gone except one son, and he's quietly writing in his room.
Got the new book to review for Thomas Nelson, The [expanded] Bible. The UPS guy just dropped it at the door. The thing is, I have to agree to read all books I review, so this'll be good for me. My kids and husband put me to shame. Gary finished reading the Bible through not too long ago, and as he closed it on Revelation, said something to the effect that he'd just start on Genesis the following day. Over and over, he does this. A couple of the kids do likewise, and think nothing of it. Me, I'm such a novel-addict, that Scripture reading doesn't take as a high priority as it should. Sad, but true. Guess this book will inspire me. Just hope it's a reliable version. :)
