Session two...

This week the notes I wrote down (having managed to prepare more fully this time, although the two hours I put aside for that didn't really cut it...) are: Matt 17: The Transfiguration. Moses = the Law Elijah = the Prophets. Peter, James and John: always those three!!! I learn well from little "nuggets": the have a great impact on me and make sense of things. Some of the YouTube clips in the prep have been quite long this week and I found them hard to concentrate on. This week before the session I also saw my cover, who is really excited about this course as she has never meet anyone doing "this kind of thing" before and says I light up when I talk about it. In our session she mentioned The Serenity Prayer and I was reminded of it. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. (Niebuhr) We talked about knowing my limitations (and picking my battles where parenting is concerned); modifying my expectations of myself; and peace with my humanity... I'm a little less clear on the meaning of the latter but I'm working on it...
