Pictures, pictures and more pictures

Well today wasn't too much more interesting than yesterday but at least I had stuff to do. Got up this morning and went to chapel at Teara's school (it was pretty good) then from there we went to take family pictures. This was a long drawn out process as you can imagine. Now don't get me wrong it was fun and all, and I enjoyed it but it was just a lot. But we got a lot done. Christmas card pictures at the same time we got just so photos because it's been a while since we had pictures taken.

When we got back me and Payton (my 13 year old cousin) threw the football for a while and then we played some B-ball. It was really fun, me and Payton hung out a lot during the summer but since school started it's been really hard to see him so today was really fun. That was pretty much my day. Throw in some dancing in the living room and dinner and that was all I did. Like I said, not very interesting.

So what did God teach me today? How important fellowship with you earthly family is. Sometimes I get so caught up in doing stuff with my church family that I forget how refreshing it is to just be at home and enjoy family. I also realized that I need to enjoy my family all I can over the next 9 or so months because once I start seminary it'll be even harder than it is now to find time to come home.
