Calculations

My second son is a student at the local university. Like most young men his age, he has often shown a lack of understanding in the area of money management. Things got tight for him recently when financial aid dried up.

"Mom," he announced, "I looked at my bank balance and did some calculations." He sighed, "I'll have to get a job before I can buy a new camera."

Guess that college education is paying off.


The plans of the diligent lead to profit
as surely as haste leads to poverty.
Proverbs 21:5 NIV

Dusty

One day, Baby Girl and I were having a fun time combing and curling, trying out various hair styles.

I struck a pose and asked her, "How does my hair look?"

She twisted her little mouth to one side and studied my new 'do'. "Well," she said, "it's a little dusty."

I examined my reflection in the mirror and realized that my locks did, indeed, appear to have a dusting of silver.


The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
Proverbs 16:31 NKJV
