What I think about

It's strange the things that run through my mind. Juergen has been at his dads all weekend. They were celebrating Richard's 80Th birthday. Juergen wanted to help him get stuff done around the house so it seemed best that we not bring the whole gang. Nicole had an art class all weekend. It was a 2 day workshop on cartooning. She can not decide if she wants to be a research scientist or an artist. I guess when you are gifted it's a real problem to know what path to pursue. You can only walk down one road. I have been reading about spiritual revival and watching what is going on in Florida. I pray all the time for my sweet Jessica to be healed. I don't feel any closer to a miracle then I did before. How are you suppose to feel right before your greatest need has been met? What are you suppose to feel like when the "impossible" suddenly becomes "possible"? I wish I could say I was filled with hope and faith. But God knows my heart. When I look at my beautiful Jessica, my heart breaks. I want her to have the same kind of opportunities as Nicole. I want her to have a future. All I can say is, "Lord Jesus please have mercy", "Jesus, please heal my baby". "Please"!

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 ...
