Life is so full of distractions, it’s amazing that any of us make it from our bed in the morning back to our same bed at night. That full circle—based on good Christian values and healthy habits of course—can sometimes be elusive, especially when your life is as tricky as mine.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting this morning that 2 Georgia counties are using Monday’s Martin Luther King junior holiday as a make up day for the week long school break due to snow and ice in my parts. It seems to have pissed of civil rights leaders. 

 I, I am a reader.  Gimme a book, I'll come through.  Seriously, I've been an avid reader my whole life and something I find of tantamount importance to pass on to my sons.  I have pretty strict rules about electronics (TV, computer, gaming) in my home as in none on school days and limited use on weekends.  Mainly because a.) I like quiet and b.) children need to learn how to regulate themselves, learn their own biological rhythm and concentrate.  The system works for us.  Is it always peaceful with a group of boys 11, 10 & 7.9?  Of course not.

 So this high school class is on a field trip to the local morgue. A girl spots a bottle with a brain in it. She reads the label. Turns out it’s her boyfriend’s brain. He’d been killed in a car crash the year before. Naturally she flips out. The word spreads through the school. The dead kid’s sister hears about it and falls apart. Her parents end up suing the morgue for stashing their son’s brain in a bottle and holding onto it  instead of giving it to them promptly with the rest of his remains.
