Relearning a few things

Fact:  With every move there comes an adjustment period.  This period may pass quickly or painfully depending on the degree of change.  During the adjustment period one often learns how to do the same things one has always done, but differently.  This move to TX has been no exception for us.  So far I've...

*learned how to pick the kids up from school.  And yes, on the way back to our apartment on campus, I drove in a circle around the school trying locate the front entrance.   A one way road gave me a bit of a problem.

*learned that the library closes at 3:00 on Saturday.  Yep, that science project for Rebekah was late.

*learned to check the date on Chobani's yogurt at the store b/c folks here don't buy it as frequently.  It was okay to eat the out-dated ones b/c yogurt by definition is soured milk, right?

*learned that a "corrida" is a bull fight, not a word to mean the running of the bulls.  Thus you cannot do a corrida con caballos (race with horses).  My teacher must really be wondering about what we do in KY with horses if we are having corridas de caballos (horse fights).

*learned that although Tic-Tacs are tasty and help antsy kids pass time when sitting in a service where they don't understand the words, Tic-Tacs are not quiet and should not be passed out during prayer time.   

*learned that bacon doesn't take quite as long to bake as I thought.

And I've learned that God is the same as He is anywhere I've lived.  His love never fails. His patience never sours. His energy never exhausts.  His knowledge knows no limit.  My God is King of kings and Lord of  lords and He always will be, no matter what I'm having to learn for the tenth time.
