Tired Tuesday

Today was another good day at school, we're doing nails this week. Nails have never been my favorite subject, but I'm learning to be an expert on all things cosmetology... that's the idea. I've got 2 text books and a workbook, I'll be plenty busy!

I'm so tired today that I don't particularly want to be writing this blog, but it's all about habits that I'm trying to stick to.

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
Jesus said our love for each other -- not our doctrinal beliefs -- is our greatest witness to the world.
Love shold be your top priority, primary objective, and greatest ambition.
...God says relationships are what life is all about.
4 out of the 10 commandments deal with our relationship to God while the other 6 deal with our relationships with people.
Relationships, not achievements or the acquistion of things, are what matters most in life.
Busyness is a great enemy of relationships.
The point of life is learning to love -- God and people. Life minus love equals zero.
The more time you give to something, the more you reveal its importance and value to you.
The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.


BIBLE IN A YEAR
Today's passages: Genesis 34, 35, 35, 37
Dinah, Jacob and Leah's daughter, went out to see her friends. Shechem, son of Hamor, took her an raped her. He was deeply attracted to her and wanted her for his wife. Jacob heard what had happened but didn't say anything. Jacob's sons heard the news are were very upset because of this disgraceful act. Shechem came to Jacob asking that they exchange daughters and live harmoniously together. Shechem voiced that he would give anything for Dinah. Jacob's sons answered with a conditional "no." Conditions being that they become circumcised, they agreed. Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, came to the city and killed every male. With them they took all of their herds and looted the city because of what they had done to Dinah. Jacob confronted them saying that they had now brought trouble upon their house. (Genesis 34)
God told Jacob it was time to move to Bethel. God changed Jacob's name to Israel. Rachel died in childbirth, Benjamin was born. Reuben and Bilhah conceived. Jacob came to Isaac, his father. Isaac died. (Genesis 35)
Esau packed up his family and moved far away from Jacob. Going through the genealogy of Esau. (Genesis 36)
Joseph was favored by his father Jacob because he was born in his old age. Jacob made him a coat of many colors. His brothers saw the favoritism and hated him for it. Joseph had a dream that his sheaf stood up and his brothers' sheaves bowed down to his. Upon sharing this dream his brothers hated him even more. Joseph had yet another dream in which the sun, moon and 11 stars bowed down to him. His brothers were jealous, but Jacob kept this in his mind. The brothers were taking the flock to Shechem, Jacob sent Joseph to check on them and bring back word. While on the journey his brothers had plot to kill him. Reuben talked them out of killing him, but allowed them to put him in a pit unharmed. They stripped him of his coat and left him with no water. Travelers were coming through and they decided to sell him for 20 shekels of silver, they took Joseph to Egypt. They slaughtered a goat and dipped Joseph's coat in the blood and took it to their father. Jacob mourned the death of his son. Joseph was sold to Potiphar, Pharaoh's officer.  (Genesis 37)
