February birthdays

February Journaling

1.    My first grandchild, Benny is 8 years old today. He is the sweetest boy.

2.    Bible study finishing Zephaniah and doing the summary.

3.    Going for dinner at a friend’s house to help plan an event for church. Writing.

4.    The grandkids went to the Toronto Aquarium.

5.    My mom showed me the newspaper article about my dad’s death. I didn’t realize there was an actual inquest but of course, it was a workplace accident. When I told my daughter who is a lawyer, she said she would put in a request through freedom of information act to get the actual court transcripts and final coroner’s report. We cried together on the phone. It’s good to know but sad to read about how he suffered both immediately and the next month in hospital before he died of complications at the age of 28.

6.    Our middle grandchild has ADHD and has started medication. I hope it will help her. She even recognizes it’s a problem and when her mom said the doctor would give her a medication to help her focus she said it sounded magical.

7.    Our grandson is getting tutoring for math and it’s helping.

8.    Our granddaughter turned 6 today.

9.    Bible study beginning the book of Habakkuk. Will take next week off for Family Day holiday.

10. The grandkids and their parents are coming for the weekend. We are getting Robin’s choice for dinner. The kids want McDonalds. The adults will order real food.

11. Finnish pancakes (crepes) for breakfast, then taking the grandkids to the Toronto Zoo as their gift. Then this evening our daughter and her husband are going to see the Harry Potter musical as her Christmas gift.

12. They came to church with us.

13. Writing, then our computer died.

14. Our class was cancelled this week, but our friends came over to make some bookings for our trip. Flights are booked; big load off my mind.

15. In Hamilton helping out.

16. Our new computer arrived today.

17. Setting up for our AGAPE GALA dinner at church. I’m doing the seating plan.

18. AGAPE GALA was great. There were 74 people.

19. Church. No evening service tonight.

20. Family Day.

21. Our Genesis course this evening. So good!

22. Prayer meeting. I never thought of baptism as a naming ceremony. Keep on learning.

23. Finished the Minor Prophets with Habakkuk. Now to start on Galatians and Ephesians.

24. I’m loving the study on Galatians; I have so many good resources. The ladies tell me they appreciate the work I put into it, so I keep going.

25. Recording my podcasts on my new computer. They transfer over to the podcast platform much better than previously.

26. Church.

27. Helping out in Hamilton, but had to stay overnight because of a storm. We anticipated it and had our overnight things. Had to reschedule the housekeeper from tomorrow to the following week.

28. Genesis course. So full. Three hours long. Finished Dry Feb. It was easy. I like to show myself that I can live without alcohol, even though I never have more than a glass of wine and have never been drunk, there are many alcoholics in our family and so I want to be careful.
