Children Of The Heavenly Father

Written in the late 1800's, today's hymn is obscure and I have personally never heard of it (as much as my memory can recall) and maybe have never sung it BUT Plumb in 2007 decided to give it some recognition and did their own version and put it on their album for that year!  That's what I love about the hymns.  They are timeless.  
Today is Father's Day here in America and in order to thoroughly celebrate Father's Day we have to start with the true Father.  God, our Father, is the model for you, Dads, to follow and look to.  Don't look to your earthly Dad - he isn't the model to follow. Why?  Because he is flawed.  Oh sure he may have taught you many things but he's probably failed you in some way as well and as humans we cling to the failures and ignore the successes. That is why we must look to God and he alone for our model.  God is the PERFECT Father and when we all look to him we will not be disappointed. 
Happy Father's Day!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
