This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.

That’s the spirit, Britain!
Come, let us deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and depart from the land.

Before it was cool.
Then they will know that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer.

No, not for me. For the kids. Today is the end of school and therefore the start of summer. So I am celebrating by taking tomorrow off work.
We can all sleep in, be lazy all morning, play in the sprinkler in the afternoon, eat popsicles outside, then stay up late and catch fireflies.
Then they get to repeat that as often as they like during the summer. Or something like that.
I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?

I bought a car.
First, a description of the old car, a 2002 beige Buick Regal with 164,000 miles.
I wanted to keep driving it, but the transmission does not cooperate with me anymore. It will let me drive for about 30 seconds at a time. And then it waits until the car is shut off and restarted before it will work again. Since it would lengthen my commute time considerably to drive in that manner, I bought a replacement car while I decided whether to put more money into the Regal.

This being New Year’s Eve and all, I hope you weren’t expecting much of a post.
We don’t have any particular New Year’s Eve plans. Now New Year’s Day, on the other hand, is filled with snacks and college football.
This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.

This being Christmas Eve and all, I hope you weren’t expecting much of a post.
We’re doing our gift opening today, so by the time you’re reading this I’m probably going to be in the middle of assembling toys, installing batteries, or helping someone with Lego instructions.
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

I have dozens of topics and ideas noted as possible blog posts, but today I am just going to phone it in, as they say, and wish everyone a happy labor day.
Happy Labor Day!
I realize that you won’t be reading this until after Labor Day, unless you wait almost a year, or unless you are in a different country and happen to not read this until that day. But whatever. I spent the day doing various house projects and spending time with the family, rather than research and write blog posts.
And we spent some time getting ready for the kids to go back to school.
And getting ready for the start of AWANA.
And getting ready for the start of BSF.
And getting ready for piano lessons to resume.
And so on.
The summer was fairly relaxed as far as schedules go. Now we switch gears and become a little more regimented.
In case you’re wondering, my next house project is finding out where the TV antenna is connected. We haven’t hooked up the TV since we moved and football season is about to start.
When he saw that a resting place was good
And that the land was pleasant,
He bowed his shoulder to bear burdens,
And became a slave at forced labor.
