Barefoot / Helper By Design

Yesterday I walked 1 1/2 miles down the road with no shoes on.  How exciting it was to finally put my flipflops back on when I got to the end of the road : )  If it wasn't for dirty roads, i'd totally be doing that more often!
(Side note- one of my friends in college went barefoot all over the place. She is one of my heroines :)  okay, un-sidenote)

I've been reading "Helper By Design" by Elyse Fitzgerald (borrowed from Jeri), and it's a great book so far. The author is very learned, and well-written. Basically (though I'm not that far in) it's an extrapolation (although I am not quite sure that is quite the word I want to use there) of the word "helpmeet" (KJV translation) in Genesis as referring to Eve.

:)

More to come, if I remember.
Also, my online class started, and I might have to buckle down and do very well in it this time around, seeing as the last class-and-a-half I wasn't even able to log on... ick.

Praising God for the summer "break," though. :) ..among other things.

I will never . . .

There are some things I know without a doubt that I will never be.
There are some things I am still learning that I will never be, praise His unchanging name!

I will never be a man.

I will never be a son.

I will never be a father.

I will never be a grandfather.

I will never be an uncle.

I will never be a nephew.

I will never be a deacon.

I will never be a pastor.

I will never be the president of the United States of America.

I will never be abandoned.

I will never be deserted.

I will never be forsaken.

I will never be hungry.

I will never be thirsty.

I will never be cast into utter darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I will never understand all the Creator and Redeemer (among so many other descriptive names!) has done for me.

I will never be snatched from the hands of YHWH.

I will never die.
