Stephanie's New Horse

This is Stephanie's new horse, Juno. She adopted her from the Houston, SPCA, I believe. Scratch that! Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society!!!!

I am so excited for her that she is getting to fulfill her dream of having a horse of her very own, in her very own barn, on her very own land.

Both of our dear husbands switched residencies to anesthesia this year. I got the beach, she got a horse. Any way I look at it, we are both better off for the change!

Adam and Eve

I was teaching the 12-15 year old Sunday school class yesterday, the subject of the lesson being “The Fall of Adam.” We discussed the serpent beguiling Eve and her partaking of the fruit. Next, after consulting my teaching manual, I asked the question, “Why did Adam then partake of the fruit when Eve brought it to him, even though he knew it was forbidden?”

The manual led me to believe I would receive answers such as “He realized Eve would be cast out of the garden, and they were commanded to multiply and replenish the earth” and “It would give them the ability to make righteous choices.”

As I looked expectantly at my class for answers, one of the 14-year-old boys threw up his hand and exclaimed, “Because she was naked.”
