Happy Sabbath

Not having a good time right now but God is still good. April is not the month for my son. April and October are the worst months period.

He had a tantrum at church and I ended up having to leave earlier than planned.I permitted him to bring his computer to church. He is to work on Bible movie projects with his peers and he interacts well with the other children when doing this. At one point he needed to charge it so he plugged it up and sat down with the others. A wonderful young lady was leading the class today and reading bible scriptures and I pulled out my bible, but thought it would be good for him to have his bible available in case she started asking the children to share a text. He threw the bible on the floor. Then he put it far across the table away from him. Even on the way to church he complained saying he didn't need to carry a bible and the way of this world today is technology.  I could not accept this level of disrespect to the Lord and His holy word so I said if he could not even so much as keep it on the table in front of him, he would lose his computer for the day. He said fine so I took the laptop and this lead to a tug of war matching the stairwell and more nonsense. 

As it stands now, he is not permitted to bring the laptop to church any more. Any projects he was working on with the other kids, no matter how awesome they are, are finished at this point. He can only do school work with the internet. For the rest of the time, I'm turning the internet off. He has disrespected God too much and embarrassed me and I don't have any other options.

On a positive note,  I was able to celebrate my mom's birthday Wednesday.  I also received my bloodwork back today. I was afraid of the results. I need work but it's not too bad. My blood sugar was 5.7 so I'm pre-diabetic again. I can turn that around with making healthier choices and reducing my sugar and carb intake. I can exercise and fast. I just need the will power. My lipid panel was good. My hemoglobin needs alot of work. I need to start taking iron and eating iron rich foods and I have not so my numbers are very low. My thyroid is in the lower end of good range so I have to give attention to that as well as my super low vitamin D.  I don't get enough sun. I bundle up like an Eskimo when I mow the lawn to avoid getting stung. I will have to get supplements and find time to sun bathe. I also had my dental appointment yesterday and they said I didn't need a root canal so that's good news.

So some wins and loses today. I'm going to straighten up, eat something other than teriyaki seaweed and take my nap for work tonight.
