On the seventh day
Genesis2:2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
As I'm driving to work today I'm pondering this: why did God only take one day off to rest? As the Bible goes God created the earth and all things in it in six days and then rested on the seventh. It seems like a lot of work and I personally feel like maybe you should take in an extra day off to rest. I know I am imperfect and he is perfect but my goodness I need an extra day or a strong cup of coffee just from doing laundry, house work, and teaching my 21 5th graders. Here's to Monday I'm on my way to work with my strong cup of coffee ready to work my six days and can't wait for my day of rest.

It comes in spurts
There are weeks where everything is normal. I get up, go to work, come home, and repeat. This was not that type of week. If you live in Kentucky you know how important this weekend was. Actually in Louisville it is a national holiday. Schools and businesses shut down early and everyone celebrates the Kentucky Derby. This is actually a couple week long celebration that starts with a firework show "Thunder Over Louisville". On Friday it was The Oaks. This is the day for the fillies to have their race. This year I went for the first time. You get all dressed up (throw some pink into your outfit for the girls), and head to the track to enjoy true Kentucky tradition. True Kentucky tradition means horses, hats, mint juleps and lillies, and of course a bit of betting. We went with dear friends and had a wonderful time. We were right on the track and were able to see the horses and races perfectly.
