Peace is the Word of the Day!

My summer break started, and I instantly went into that "peace that passes all understanding" frame of mind which means that I am feeling relaxed and clear, and it would take a whole bunch to get me upset right now.

This has been an exciting week news wise with Paula Deen, whom I dislike because of her display of lack of social responsibility by creating some of the most unhealthy recipes in the world, The Zimmerman trial, and The Supreme Court doing their thing. I have thought a lot about these things, and I have been following them closely. But, I will not engage with people on these topics, because they stir up a lot of emotions, and it's summer, and I am in a relaxed state of mind, and I will not get pulled into ANYBODY'S craziness.....

I've been teaching a nine day class to high school students who are planning to take more advance classes in the fall. (I'm teaching this class to help students, but I am also teaching this class to make money for my summer fun!) The class starts at 10:15 and ends at 12:50. So, I have had time in the mornings to workout and meet a friend for breakfast before I go to teach. In the afternoons, I have cooked some quite awesome meals, taken naps, rode my bike, read while sitting on my balcony, watched a lot of news, and Be Still......

I was with some friends this past weekend who are doing great things in their careers, and they are working some long, crazy hours. Man, you know that I respect people who work long hours, year round, and do not complain. One of my friends stated that he has not had a vacation in quite awhile, and he is okay with that, and you know what? I am too. There are different strokes for different folks, and I so respect that. People get their peace in different ways....

Normally, after school ends, it takes me awhile to wind down, but this time around, I slide right into PEACE......

Peace is the word of the day!!

It's SUMMER "My People!"

According to the Bible, we must "Pursue Peace!"
