On My Mind
He has made everything beautiful in its time. - Ecclesiastes 3:11
God values beauty. We see it all around us. It even brackets our days with the sunrise and the sunset. He gives us the ability to create beauty in so many ways - from a beautiful painting to delicious aromas from the kitchen to beautiful memories created with the people in our lives. All of these are ways to create beauty. In a world that seems obsessed with finding and exploiting the awful and ugly, let us create and celebrate beauty today and every day.
Life is about beautiful moments: Don't wait for them, create them. ~Unknown

One of the science cards in our weekly lessons is about coral reef fish so we colored some coral reef pictures this morning. I've always thought seahorses are so cool!
I had paperwork and phone calls to catch up on this morning while we were outside, so I only got a few pictures.
It was another hot afternoon, so we spent our time inside reading books and building blanket houses in the playroom.
In the Kitchen
For dinner this evening I made chicken tetrazzini we based on a recipe from Belly Full called Easy Chicken Tetrazzini. I only had about half the amount of sour cream that the recipe called for so I added an extra can of cream of chicken soup, and I added sauteed peppers and onions.

As AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology becomes more prevalent, scammers are finding ways to use it to impersonate individuals. According to an article in the National Notary Bulletin -" Notaries are more important than ever amid the rise of Artificial Intelligence - A recent survey of 500 fraud and risk professionals revealed there is significant and growing concern in the financial services industry that the instances of “fake and fraudulent” customers are surging at a rapid pace, and that their security and identity detection technologies might not be able to keep up."
So how does the professional notary combat this threat? There is a human component to professional standards that cannot be replicated by AI. Trust, discernment, and human judgment, and interpersonal skills are all qualities that AI does not have. It's a new world out there and a very real responsibility falls on the Notary Public to always follow the rules and guidelines that ensure documents are legally and accurately authenticated.

But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by His marvelous grace. ~ Galatians 1:15
"But each of us was created for a reason. No matter how we've messed up or what we've missed, the future is still ahead of us. We have choices about how to handle it. We've learned some things from our pasts that might make the journey better. If we know - deep down in our cores - who we were created to be, we're much more likely to make the most of the future." pg. 241
