Ahhhh

Oh how I love Mondays. Spending all day with my little Maggie is the most wonderful thing in the world. Right now she is napping peacefully in her crib while I listen to some Mahler. I feel Fall coming, and I can't wait!!! The mild weather the last day or two has been so great. I've had all the windows open, and no A/C running. I love it. Fall is by far my favorite of the four seasons. Who doesn't love the Fall?
Well, what's been going on the last month or so since my last post? Nothing major. Lots of running around, doing this and that. Where does the time go? It seems like I come home from work, and a few hours later it's time for bed. I can't really say that I'm "busy" because I don't do a whole lot. I guess taking care of a little girl who's learning to crawl is a pretty big job, though.
I was doing really well with my eating until the last couple of weeks. I wasn't really "bad" but I wasn't as good as I should have been. Today, I'm back on track, though. I was a little concerned about my blood sugar this morning. I tested it just to see (for those who don't know I had gestational diabetes while I was carrying Maggie, so that's why I have the testing supplies) and it was 103 first thing this morning. It should have been more like 70-90. I'm going the check it again 2 hours after breakfast to see if it is in the normal range. I'll have to keep an eye on it, and maybe cut back on my carbs if it is still high. It probably wouldn't hurt to do that anyway. When I had gestational diabetes, the dietitian had me eat 30g of carbs for breakfast, 15g for a snack, 50g for lunch, 15g for a snack, and 65g for dinner or something like that. It solved the high blood sugar problem immediately. I also need to EXERCISE! When it comes to that I am just L-A-Z-Y. Gotta get over that!!! Does anyone else ever wish that we didn't have to eat? It's so annoying sometimes...maybe I'm strange, but I feel like our lives often revolve around eating. Not that I don't like food, but I think you know what I mean.
Well, I'm going to finish a drawing I've been working on. Hopefully I'll have more to say soon!

Moral Law vs Herd Instinct and Social Convention

Mere Christianity  Book I, Chapter 2  Some Objections In my last post, we discussed the existence of a real Right and Wrong, what Lewis calls the Law of Human Nature (in other words, how humans ought to behave), and we discussed the fact that we all break that law. Lewis writes at the end of chapter one, "These two facts are the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in."  In chapter two, Lewis firms up that foundation by explaining further what the Law of Human Nature is, and what it is not.  For some reason that I do not know, Lewis refers to the Law of Human Nature as Moral Law in this chapter.  This label makes more sense to me, and is probably what I would have called it all along, but I suppose that is beside the point.  On to the first objection. Some say that Moral Law is simply our herd instinct that has developed just like all our other instincts.  Lewis gives some great examples to show that Moral Law i...

A Something

Mere Christianity, Book I, Chapter 4: What Lies Behind the Law In very broad terms, there are two explanations for how our universe came to be.  The first is the idea that the universe is here by chance.  I am not an expert on the subject, but the very basic theory, in layman's terms, is that the big bang happened and since then the universe has been expanding, gases have formed stars, matter has formed planets and moons, and on our own planet, matter has formed over the years into living things with minds, all by chance.  (How is that for a run-on sentence?)  The second idea says that "what is behind the universe is more like a mind than it is like anything else we know.  That is to say, it is conscious, and has purposes, and prefers one thing to another."  This thing like a mind made the universe and made things like itself, things with minds.  I know there are other ideas but most of them fall into one of these two categories. Lewis asks us not ...

Things that keep me awake

Well, I can't sleep tonight, for several reasons. I am too excited about Christmas and Maggie's first birthday coming up. I bought her gifts online tonight, and can't wait for them to get here. I am worrying about a lot of things. I feel like some big changes are about to happen and they could either be really good, or really bad. I had too much caffeine today. Mostly it's the things I'm worrying about, though. I shouldn't worry, I know. But I do anyway. I just can't seem to turn my brain off. Maybe it's more anticipation than worry. I'm anticipating a lot of things right now. Yes. That's it. Anticipation is making me wait. Isn't that part of a song? Well, I'm going to move on to something else to try to make myself tired.
