I got to sleep in until 9am this morning.Jessica (our 15 year old autistic daughter) does not go to schools on Mondays anymore. She needs a full time aid in school, and her two teachers that help her are not available Mondays. She has longer school hours Tuesday-Fridays, and no school Mondays. Anyway, I usually need to get up to help get Jessica ready for school, and today I got to sleep.I think I must be part bear, because I love to sleep! With my new found energy, I cleaned up the living room, dinning room, and kitchen. While I cleaned, I watched God TV. I understand you can now get GOD TV in the USA. You should check it out, it is great! Today I heard Steve Hill give his testimony of how God delivered him from drug addiction. Someone once said to him that Jesus was a crutch, He responded, "Oh, yes"! "He is not just my crutch, He is my wheel chair"! "I would be dead with out Him"! I loved it! I think too many of us think we would do just fine without God. Some of us are blessed enough to realize how great it is to depend upon God. After I watched Steve Hill, I got to hear Reinhard Bonnke speak. OH!!! Bonnke was amazing. He talked about a time to be born, and a time to die, and how now, the time between being born and death is the day of salvation! Now is the day of grace. He told some great stories. I wanted to sit there and listen, but my poor dog Mickey needed to take a walk. I listened as long as I felt I could, but nature was calling! I feel very blessed to hear such good preaching on TV and on the computer. Juergen and I both love good preaching. We are like two seminary students comparing notes sometime! I feel so blessed to have a Christian husband who has a passion to grow in God, and to serve God. Our life is always challenged, never boring!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
