Sniffle, Sniffle

I am tired of sneezing! Late Sunday, my throat felt scratchy, and by Tuesday I had a full blown cold. I have kept a box of Kleenex by my side for the past two days. I think I am even getting on Molly's nerves with all of this sneezing and sniffling! Hopefully, it will be over soon.

We had a great weekend this past weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Summerlin were here visiting with us, and it was really nice to catch up with them. We had several trick or treaters Friday night, but we still have a lot of candy left over. I have a feeling it will be gone in no time, though. Peter eats more candy than any person I have ever known. The rest of our weekend was pretty relaxing. My weekends off always seem to go by so quickly, however, so I was back to work before I knew it!

Last night, our small group came over to our house for Bible study. God has blessed us with a wonderful small group. Right now we are doing a study that goes along with our sermon series at church. The series is titled "Me and My Big Mouth" and Sunday's sermon "Liar, Liar" was the topic of our discussion last night. One of the passages in our study was Proverbs 4. I really liked this passage and thought it had some great verses about lying. I know I should live my life more accordingly to this scripture. I will post the passage below if you would like to read it!

This coming weekend I will live at the hospital. I am thankful I am working the day shift this weekend, but I am still dreading it. Three days of waking up early, working 12 hours, and wishing I was at home with Peter. On the bright side, if I can make it through 72 hours, I can enjoy my short week of only working Wednesday and Thursday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Proverbs 4
Wisdom Is Supreme

1 Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.
2 I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.
3 When I was a boy in my father's house, still tender, and an only child of my mother,
4 he taught me and said, "Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
9 She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor."
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.
11 I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. 17 They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. 20 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.
27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
