“I discover an arrant laziness in my
soul. For when I am to read a chapter in the Bible, before I begin I
look where it ends. And if it ends not on the same side, I cannot keep
my hands from turning over the leaf, to measure the length on the other
side; if it swells to many verses, I begin to grudge. Surely my heart is
not rightly affected. Were I truly hungry after heavenly food, I would
not complain of meat. Scourge, Lord, this laziness of my soul; make the
reading of your Word, not a penance, but a pleasure to me; so I may
esteem that chapter in your Word the best which is the longest” (Rev.
Dr. Thomas Fuller, quoted by Sterling W. Sill: The Quest for Excellence, p. 139).

Summer goals
My summer goals are not too ambitious. There's a lot of reading and seminary-involved tasks. Next week Glen will be out of town with the Scouts and then 2 weeks later he'll be gone with them again, so I thought I'd better come up with a plan.
While Glen's gone the first time:
Paint our bedroom--pick a new color? (while marathon watching JAG and Doctor Who)
Repaint the 2 white stripes in the dining room
The second time:
Repaint our bathroom--pick new colors
And then regular summer goals:
Read:
The New Testament
"The Inevitable Apostasy" by Tad R. McAllister
Some mysteries
Seminary:
Take online teacher training lessons
Turn all 160 lessons into word programs
Play lots of games
Goals I've already completed:
Update the scrapbook
Weed front and side flower beds (Glen was on trek)
Read "The Infinite Atonement" by Tad R. McAllister
Clean out filing cabinets
