Today I had to watch the kids all day. I managed to get through the day without any great difficulty but by about 2 o'clock I was feeling pretty coo-coo. This morning I got to watch the animated Gospel series today. The main point today was the question about why Jesus taught in parables instead of teaching more directly. Someone said that he teaches this way so that a person would discover the point for themselves. Jesus spoke about having an open heart through the work of the Holy Spirit. It seems to me that he was trying to guide us to have a relationship with the spirit not just get the point. I just read a good article about this.

I got to go to a meeting tonight, it was a speaker meeting. The speaker was a young person who really get's it and carried a good message. I spoke to her afterward and it made me think about how important it is to let these people know when they are doing this well.

I was grateful for my home group tonight and feel compelled to serve more now that I have more time.

Thanks be to God for this day.
