Ok.  It’s been a few days.  I got Marvin’s animation done.  It basically took all week.  I never want to have to do that again.  It was horrible, and even now the thing isn’t perfect.  I’ve got much more respect for those guys who used to do those Disney cartoons by hand.  I caught a cold and was fairly miserable Thursday and Friday.  It got a lot better Saturday so I spent the day in Billings with the students.  That was fun, but rather expensive.  Two meals, a movie (Avatar),  a new computer game (Medieval Total War II) , some necessities , and I’m out just over fifty bucks.  Ouch.   Like I said it was fun, and I haven’t done that with the student’s yet this year.  Today was of course the Super Bowl so we had a party up at Schieldt’s place.  That was also fun, and the food was great.

Psalm 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

God doesn’t mind us asking for help.

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

I had to look up the word deferred. It means to put off, post pone, to delay. I have seen this happen to people. When my hope is misplaced it will often be deferred, to my detriment.

II Kings 2 is the story of Elisha getting a double portion of Elijah. That in and of itself is interesting. What really surprised me was at the end of the chapter where Elisha gets mocked for being bald. I’d always read/heard that they were teenagers (the people who mocked him) but the KJV says “little children.” Because they mocked him 42 of them died. This is something to remember when people are trying to justify the “little” sins in life. The super bowl commercial that only showed a little bit of skin, or who’s humor was only a little crude. Those children only made a little fun of Gods prophet. God takes sin very seriously. It’s scary considering how often I do it.
