Note to Self: Consider Him

Well, it is a few minutes before the second session of the Beth Moore study on James.  I have not taken the "challenge" of memorizing the book of James but now I am reconsidering.  There was a family Memorial on the same evening of the first session so I missed that opening session where Beth explained some methods of memorizing.  It also hasn't help my "ego" that one of my friends who has a "photographic" type mind has taken up the challenge to memorize the book.  My reconsideration comes from my El Camino staff verse for the year which is Ephesians 3:20 which says, "Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."  I have not asked nor have I really thought about memorizing the book of James. But that really does not stop all glory going to God (as it should) and it would ONLY be by His mighty power to work within us that it should happen.  Hmmmm....I guess I could at least investigate it.

Note to Self - Buy LARGE crickets!!!

Well, as expected, Drake the Bearded Dragon has grown.  Technically, he is still growing even after the time we were expecting him to quit growing. We feed him crickets (dusted with calcium), lettuce, kale, watermelon, banana and mango.  He obviously thrives on this diet. We have learned to respect him when he is hungry. Once when I was hand-feeding banana, he must have mistaken my finger for a larger portion of banana - and bit my finger!  It broke the skin and was uncomfortable for a day or so, but after treating with hydrogen peroxide & lots of soap suds, I survived.  We now hand-feed with a large yellow plastic pair of tweezers.
