Today was kind of a routine school day except that we had a mini field trip to the polling place. After answering a dozen or so (well, not quite, but it seemed like it) questions and trying to explain how it works, I took Jacob and Kate went with me when I voted. They watched with interest and solemnity as I demonstrated, and now they know more than they knew before. It was a nice surprise to see A. B. there as a judge – got to chat a brief bit too, short but sweet. Back home for meetings, lunch, a quick trip to Walmart with the 3 littles, nap for Joshua, wonderful walk – absolutely BEAUTIFUL day, home for emails and other computer/school projects, choretime, supper prep, read to littles, supper (late because Dad voted after work), playtime, Bibletime. For Bibletime, since we’re done with Proverbs, Dad started on a character study booklet which looks to be very helpful. We all (me especially) can use improvement; searching God’s word on various character traits can only be beneficial. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17) Baths/showers for many, and others just sat around listening to election coverage, with alternating cheers and groans. Yes, I’m glad to do my part and vote, but how good to remember that God is Still on the Throne; He’s Still the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Hallelujah!
Bibletime on Election Day:
That’s it; good night.
Hmmm....did he get much out of either?!
