Up at 4:37 I am going to start getting up at 4 a.m. so I have more time to ready and study.

Today is the 24th anniversary of my mother's death. I wanted to go visit her grave today and James and I had planned a trip to town.

I made whole wheat pancakes for breakfast. They were good but afterwards I did not feel well. I went into the bedroom and sat on the recliner and turned on the TV. I began watching a movie I had taped called "God Is Not Dead." James came in and asked if I was going to town. I told him I wanted to but I was not feeling well. I told him I was watching a movie and he sat down and watched it with me.

It's about a college guy who takes a philosophy class and the teacher wants everyone to write and sign a paper saying that God is dead. He, Joshua is his name, refused to do it. The teacher says the only way he will pass the class is to sign the paper of get up in front of the class and explain why God isn't dead. And he, the teacher, will be the judge of how he does. Joshua says, "With all due respect, I am not sure you can be objective. What about having the class judge?" The professor reluctantly agrees. Joshua does an excellent job and it really angers his teacher. The students vote and everyone stands up and says, "God is not dead." Powerful and a lot more to the story than I have written here. We both really liked it and I wish I would have had Sheri watch it when she was here and even Ben and Evan.

James went to town without me. He needed to pick up some plans. Also, he is taking his computer in to get it fixed. When James returned he brought me back a Slinger and a small cherry limeade. He also stopped and got the mail; The "Find a Way Home" book I bought for my friend Kerri's birthday. The purple sherpa blanket I bought for Christmas and refills for my colored pens.

I took lots of rest breaks this afternoon. Napping in between the getting little done. James and I did our walking and listening. We are really in to our book, "Into the Flames." I worked on my blog and my cake scrapbook. A little spot cleaning here and there and that's about it. We went to bed early.
