All day long I've been thinking "I just have to blog about this tonight" and now I can't remember what it was. Enough staring at the screen (listening to Graffiti61 by the way: "an honest answer is like a kiss on the lips." Why can't I select it officially with the little doohicky below? Someone ought to sign Dominic to a major recording contract pronto).
Must go back to writing about mastering temptation.
(I'm writing about it, so I guess I ought to do it, not daydream about a blogtopic I can't recover)

I hate when sometime during the day I think of something to blog on, and then later when I get to the computer I can't remember what I wanted to say! Very frusturating not to be able to share our brillance with the world!
How's the homeschooling going?
lol Most my best entries are written in my mind as I drive down the road... but... they never seem to make it to written words....
yeah - I deal with that frustration also, but sometimes I wonder if God just wants that to remain between he and I....
Alice, the homeschooling is going GREAT. I am impressed with my wife, who is so organized she makes it look easy. Of course, it took her almost 4 months to prepare everything, make the binders, etc. etc. But carrying out the plan consistently, complex as it is, is no easier than preparing it. I'm also impressed with my son Nathaniel, who gets up early (sometimes before 6am) and gets right to work. He is often done with all the stuff Kathryn set out for him to do on his own, right about the time Kathryn and the younger kids are finished with breakfast and cleanup (around 10am: my other 2 kids sleep late). We are doing the Sonlight curriculum. Lots of parents on the Sonlight forum were warning Kathryn not to even try to do it all, that Sonlight purposely overloads you so you have lots of options to choose from, you aren't meant to do everything in every module (or whatever they call them). Well, Nathaniel has been doing it ALL every week.
(Okay, we did completely drop Bible and Language Arts, and he's only done two days of science in two weeks. But we are teaching him Bible with our own curriculum— we taught Bible Clubs for years before we left World Impact, and wrote much of our own stuff, especially for jr. high. And he scores "post-high school" in his standardized tests for all categories of English (don't tell him that), so we are having him write a journal. When he misspells a word, he has to write it five times correctly. That's our language arts curriculum right now!)
Second Sunday, I know exactly what you mean. Even worse are those poems or songs you compose in your mind on long drives, which never survive till you can write them down!
Sally, thank you for looking on the bright side! I suppose God won't forget it, will he. But if he waits till heaven to remind me what it was, it will be too late to impact someone's life with it! . . . "ah," whispers my spirit, "but impact is only part of the value of creativity. Don't become too utilitarian, enjoy things for their inherent worth too. Sally is on to something. Listen to her."
