A Brand New Focus

Hello, again! I've been away for a while. It's good to be back in a place where I have a little time to write again. I have decided to rename my blog and focus a little differently. It will now be known as Serve, Solve, and Learn. (All of my old blog entries are available in the Blog Archive for your reading enjoyment.)

The focus of this blog will now be how to serve others when there is a need, how to solve problems as they arise, and things you learn, whether intentionally or by daily living.

The girls are growing and maturing into the women they will become. As much as I hate the idea of them growing up, they continue to do so against my wishes. So, for now, my job is to raise them with as much knowledge as they will absorb and allow me to instill in them. I know there are things they will have to learn on their own, but I pray they will continue to be open to my guidance.

Since my last blog, our family has made the effort of getting involved in our local community. Since our move to a new county, we learned of a program called Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). As a family, we went through a seven week class to learn what to do in emergencies such as tornados, fires, vehicle accidents, etc. We learned basic techniques for the emergency at hand and how to help until actual First Responders arrive on the scene. At that point all information is given to them to take over. This is a great way to serve your community. Just look up CERT for your county to see if they offer it, and sign up for classes if they do.  Here is the website for Walton County, GA CERT.... http://www.waltoncert.org.

Bare with me as I navigate the changes in Blogger since I was last here. Discovering the changes will take a little time. There may be changes coming over the next few weeks. Solving these problems will keep me busy and inspired for a while. Check back for updates and watch this updated blog take shape.

Today's lesson is for you to serve your children as a dedicated parent by teaching them the things they need to know as they grow, help them solve problems as they face them and don't know how to navigate the issue, and pray that they learn things the easy way without being so headstrong that they deny your guidance.  Get them involved in serving the community so the needs of others is top of mind throughout their lives.
