It is a beautiful day here at Lake George! I am sitting inside playing on my laptop but my time is my own and I can do what seems right for me. This will be short because I really do want to get down to the boathouse and enjoy the view and the breeze :-) D and I are here the annual Lutheran Conference - mostly an excuse fo a family reunion in a gorgeous setting where no one has to cook or clean up and there are many things to do. D is down at Slim Point swimming and snorkeling in the clear lake water. I could go up to the craft house and cane a rocking chair for the porch or weave among other options.
I decided to attend two Lutheran Conference classes this week and both started out well. One is on longevity and health which fits with my new goal to make my own health and D's a priority. I have so much weight to lose and all my numbers are bad (except blood pressure). Neither of us have a family physician so there is much to do when this vacation is over!
The other class looking at defining moments in the Bible. The instructor is fun and knowegable. It is nice to hear the Bible taught again. Today was Adam and Eve - he considers it humankind's defining moment because they chose to hide after they did wrong. Interesting perspective. It is also refreshing because even though they did wrong, God searched them out and then clothed them even though there was punishment also applied. I correct my granddaughter with the hope that she will do better next time partly because life is more fun when we are happy and not fighting. I cannot know the mind of God but wonder if the idea of "Fall" might be overstated. On the other hand, their clothing was animal skins and this is the first recorded death on earth and this could be construed to be animal sacrifice.
Well - the longevity class advized more exercise and using a rocking chair was included - so I think I'll go exercise!
