It is only when you are in the service of your fellowmen you are in the service of God. Yup I know that it isn't word for word the scripture but I got the point. We have started doing service once a month as a family. This weekend was full of service. We gave food to Scouting for Food and we went and did another project this weekend. It was good. In December we will pull a few names off the tree and buy presents for kids. I over budget for Christmas every year for this very reason. I remember my mom doing the 12 days of Christmas for a family she felt was in need. Not necessarily financial in need but emotionally and spiritually in need. I went over our fiances tonight. We have some debt but we also have quite a bit in savings. We are about half way to my (1st) savings goal. Once the debt is gone I would like to have five times what my goal now is.
The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down. It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much. We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday. We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days. Kids haven't been in a store in weeks. Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects. It has been good and bad. More family time and less running around. But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough. Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school. It is likely they won't be going back at all this year. Victoria will be the most effected. No eighth grade graduation likely The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders. Either way they are all out until 4/20. "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13. Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
