Stuff That Matters in Life

Katy’s Weblog

I don’t get out much.

The only time we go places is to meet up with friends and relatives.

My cousin was here from Hong Kong, and I ate out more last week with my cousin than the last 6 months combined.

We had crepes at the Farmer’s Market, sushi in Claremont, pasta at Cheesecake Factory, salad and pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen. The tiramisu at CPK was delicious. One order was enough for the 6 of us. Just a taste was enough to satisfy my taste buds.

We went to the Grove right next to the Farmer’s Market.

My daughter bought a shirt from Forever 21. We had yogurt at Pinkberry’s.

Three days later, I went with my cousin to the Grove in Glendale.

I bought a pair of pants from Forever 21. There was a Pinkberry’s there too.

Deja vu…

It’s nice to get out once in a while. Now it’s back to normal life. And that’s nice too.

Back to School

*Waking up at 6:20AM instead of lazying around in bed till 10AM.

*Packing ham and cheese sandwiches that my daughter doesn’t eat.

*So happy to have my daughter home at 2:15pm. I loved the summer when she is home with me all day!

*The little boy who waits in front of our house for the school bus grew several inches over the summer.

*Helping my daughter with homework, and holding myself back from rewriting her entire essay.

*Not helping my daughter with math homework. Algebra I is my limit.

*Can’t wait till the next school holiday. I’m not even in school!

Joseph was pursued by a married woman; David pursued a married woman.

Joseph was tempted by a beautiful woman; David was tempted by a beautiful woman.

Joseph was a mere slave; David was a king with a public life to uphold

Joseph probably didn’t have too many women to choose from; David could have any woman he wanted

On paper, who should most likely give in to the temptation to commit adultery with a married woman?

Who actually made the decision to do it?

Joseph is an incredible role model for anyone who thinks it is impossible to be sexually pure in a sexualized society.

Here are 10 highlights from this week of VeggieTales VBS at our church, not in any order:

1. As part of the Bible story theater, the children saw a dramatization of Jesus walking on water. “Wow! Who can that be?” the leader asked the kids. Amazingly, the kids answered correctly – Jesus. “Jesus” is a Chinese guy wearing a white plastic table cloth with some kind of blue cloth strapped around him, walking on chairs with blue cloth draped over them. You gotta have a vivid imagination here at VBS!
