Just mixing up a Happy Potion for everyone in J-land.  Hope your Thursday is a good one! 

I had a short talk with Miss T last night about "worrying".  She said the therapist told her to "thump" way her bad thoughts (like the conscience good / evil guys on your shoulder).  I said this was a good idea.  Plus I told her that the therapist told me that what T had said about the preacher's comment "worrying is sin".  I told Miss T that I did not agree with this and some other things that preacher has said before.  She looked surprised and asked me "does Grammy know that?" and I said yes.  More surprised.

Tara puts a lot of faith in her Grammy and my Nanny so I guess it did come as a surprise to her that I did not always agree with my own mother.  Trying to explain to her that everyone has things they worry about, but don't do it is not easy.  We all worry.  But we must decide between good and bad worry.   It is OK to worry about an upcoming storm....if you're in a boat, not if you're in your own home that God has designed to shelter us.  It is OK to worry or be concerned about a test, or a tooth that hurts etc.  We should not be so consumed that worry causes us to become sick or overwhelmed.  Or become so obsessed with it that it leads us to do evil, backslide or "sin".  Maintain some self control.  Rationalize I guess.  It is hard to be rational or logical at 9 years old.

OK, I'm done rambling!
