Season Premieres

My daughter, Kaitlin, and I watched the season premieres of "Person of Interest" and "The Mentalist" tonight.  We had seen the ads for the new show and had watched and rewatched every "Mentalist" from last year.   Last night we set the DVR for all of the new shows we want to try.  We were ready to embrace the new.  There is a feeling of anticipation as we hope to find some exceptional entertainment this year.

As I started making my hats for this coming season, I had that same excitement, that same anticipation.  I've got a pretty good start on the season.  I've made and given several hats already.  It's football season, so I've made several hats in our school colors of gold and black that look similar to a football.  It seems owls are popular this year and I've made several of them, also.  I still have several more to make. 

I like doing hats because they are fast and (most of the time) fairly easy.  I can usually whip out a crocheted hat in a day's time.  You have the gratification of quickly completing a project. 

I started a new Bible Study last week.  We are studying the book of Matthew and using the Serendipity Bible as our study guide.

It is with excitement that I have approached this study.  This is the season premiere of this group.  This is a group of women that I have known for quite some time, but I look forward to becoming better friends, sharing with each of them and learning more about them. 

Life is full of change.  There is constant change.  Nothing stays the same. 

I've read several complaints this week on facebook about them changing the layout once again.  The funny thing is that when they changed the layout to the one before this one, there were the same complaints.  And, they were probably from the same complainers, if you want to know the truth. 

People seem to resist change.  They have a fear of the unknown that makes them dig their heels in and want to keep everything as it is. 

Life would be a lot less stressful if we would just learn to embrace the changes in our lives ..... feel the excitement and not the dread .....

Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 (NIV)

A Time for Everything

 ¹ There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens: 

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
