I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. It was a relaxing one for me. Since I am an empty nester, my sister and I took a road trip to visit our parents for the day.
Appetizer #3 - Knowledge - the total or range of what has been perceived or learned.
As I sit here at the library thanking God for the knowledge he has given me to utilize it for any thing I want to learn about, I marvel at how many of us do not utilize it as much as we should. There is a wealth of knowledge and resources in the library such as exercise tapes, music Cd's, and you can even rent pictures to hang in your house from local and national artist for a month or so; if they are available and if you seek it~~~ I'm not sure if the library still allows anyone to check out pictures anymore, however, the small town I am from allowed library card holders to do so.

If you enjoy changing your pictures on a monthly basis that is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! You go girl!!!!! I'm not that ambitious! :)! Hmmmn ~ the first Appetizer word!!!! I do change my pictures once a year; which is the kids annual school pictures! Welllll - - it's true! But since they are adults, I don't do that often either!
About 20 years ago, (and I know I age gracefully ~ Big SMILE) I volunteered to coach little league girls basketball. Although I played sports myself in high school, I still needed to know how to coach. So I went to the library to get books on how to coach, set up plays and learn basic skills for beginners to practice. Each year, there was something else I needed to know or be aware of, so in order to stay ahead of the players and the game, it was necessary for me to continually seek knowledge of the changing game and the rules involved with it.
My husband and I coached together one year, which was NOT good. There were times, we thought we were going to have to call the referee on the side lines to referee us.......Another stepping stone we had to overcome; which was how to get along with each other in coaching! Nope, we did not coach anymore after that. He had his own team and team of coaches and I established mine. But we will talk more about that in Appetizer #4.
Well back to my husband; He did give me good advice during our coaching years. He told me a good coach does not focus on winning as much as improving the skills of his players. If your players are not improving with basic basketball skills, then I am not doing my job as a coach! I took the advice whole heartily and worked harder to make sure the girls were receiving quality coaching.
When we go to the doctor, we expect the doctor to be knowledgeable in his profession, or if we decide to take a class in sewing, we expect the home economics teacher to be knowledgeable in using a sewing machine AND sewing. So if you are in doubt of seeking knowledge of anything and are not able to attend classes or have the money to do so; please remember that the library is available for anything we want to know or learn about. Our computers are also a source of knowledge; however, the library provides networking with others that many times can and will changes lives!
