Use Alcohol

   Have your white boards seen their better days?  Perhaps, like me, you've tried various cleaning products and/or writing over hard to remove traces of marker with another marker. Well, today, I have a wonderful tip for you.  Use rubbing alcohol. It works!  You're welcome.

Listen to a Sermon

   I was tired and hungry and headed for home after working, when I heard part of a sermon by David Jeremiah on the book of Revelation.  I don't remember a whole awful lot other than the fact that Jews will definitely be persecuted and "Christians are always trying to play pin the tale on the Antichrist"(in other words, name him) and that nobody knows who he is. Hardly seems worthwhile, right?  Wrong.     Let's be honest, how much do we actually recall from a specific Sunday morning sermon (sorry Pastor Doug)? Sometimes, not a whole awful lot.  I do try to remedy that by taking notes.  But, combine that with what you may learn in Sunday School, provided you go, plus, perhaps a Bible study midweek or Sunday evening, the individual daily reading of the Bible, devotionals, and blog posts, and it adds up to quite a bit. So, while I may not have learned a whole lot this evening, if we keep plugging away, it becomes quite a lot.    Herein li...

Be a Lifelong Learner

  Whatever our level of education, learning doesn't have to end when we get the diploma or degree.  In fact, even without trying, it is almost impossible not to keep learning.  Take for instance, switching jobs.  Always something new to learn there. But, even more so if one ends up taking an entirely different career path.    Maybe you are one of those people, though, like my husband, who has worked for the same company for over 30 years. Granted, he's moved up the chain and with changes in mechanics and technology, not to mention new problems, whether with managing people or the shop which he oversees, surely, there are still things to learn.    What if you are a woman who has chosen the traditional route and stayed at home, though?  No problem.  There are new things to be learned about a myriad of things - decorating, cooking, cleaning, health, gardening, etc. With the advent of the computer, one can even learn a new language or a mu...

Volunteer

   Want to make life rich and productive?  Volunteer.  Sound too simple?  It's not. There are so many ways one can do so, too.  Volunteering comes in so many packages and can involve so many things.  I think, for example, of the time I volunteered my girls and I to reshelf books for our local library.  That was a minimum time, minimum investment (just the cost of gas) event.  I'm not sure you could actually call it volunteering for the girls,as they had no choice in the matter.  Yes, parents, it is not only ok, but good, to volunteer your kids from time to time.     Since, as a homeschool family, we spent a decent amount of time at the library, this wasn't exactly foreign to us. As I recall, there was nothing new to learn, which is ok, but it is nice if it becomes a learning activity, as well.      I also helped at a government run agency during tax season, one year.  For this, I needed to learn some basic...
