“But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.”
~Galatians 2:11~

Yesterday would’ve been my father-in-law’s 70th birthday. So this evening we went to Culver’s for ice cream to celebrate. Miles was over when we decided to do this. He and Elianna were going to come along and then meet up with Aiden and Graham to go bowling. The social life of teenagers frustrates me at times. Really what it is, is that I get frustrated with the seeming lack of responsibility certain age groups enjoy.

College seems like too much at times. Why are we secluding so many young and able-bodied/minded people and expecting them to go through even more school when we could actually greatly be using their contributions to society? My high school kids tell me they still have so much free time at school that I don’t see why you can’t more efficiently combine high school and college and save them all some time and money.

We went around and said what we appreciated or were thankful for about Papa. Josh said he was thankful that Papa was his dad. Two of the boys talked about how they appreciated how Papa taught them things when he would take them to spend time with him on the farm. My other son said he appreciated how Papa didn’t seem to get mad when they messed something up. I said I was thankful for the meals and the cars.
