Bible Heros


Tomorrow the kids have AWANA at the Grace Baptist Church. Tomorrow the kids are suppose to dress as their favorite Bible Hero. My boys are just starting to learn the characters in the Bible. Philip knows much more of the Bible then Thomas. I don't think either one of them would say they have a Bible Hero (yet). To be honest, I make them go to church. They don't believe in God yet. I do have hope. I didn't accept Christ as my savior until I was 12 years old. So today I just assigned them Hero's. Thomas is going to dress as Joseph in his multi colored coat, and Philip will go as Jesus. Why these characters? Because the costumes where easy to make! They also need to know who they are dressed like. I spent time with them teaching them something about Joseph and his 11 brothers, and Jesus. I also helped them learn their Bible memory verses. Thomas was so proud. I think he really likes AWANA but is ashamed to go because he never knows his verse. Sarah had an angels costume, so I'm going to dress her in that. I once remember walking through the old town of Heidelberg at Christmas time. There were allot of cute angels figures in the shop windows. I said very firmly to Jessica angels do not really look like that. They are heavenly warriors, very powerful and strong. I am wondering if I have a Bible Hero. I love Paul. How would you dress as Paul? Maybe wear very heavey glasses because he could not see well? Do you have a Bible Hero?

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 ...
