I could not sleep


I was having trouble falling asleep. I made a new blog header for Sarah's blog. Actually, I'm working on scrap books for all the kids. I put all of Sarah's photo's in a file and all of Thomas' photo's in another file. I'll have the best photos printed this week. The pictures got me thinking, and that's why I can not sleep. It is so amazing to me to think of how these two kids have grown. It's totally remarkable how healthy and happy they have become. Today Thomas asked Juergen how he could become a Christian. I guess he had prayed to become a Christian at camp but he still had questions. He prayed again tonight with Juergen. Since all of heaven is having a party, I thought I could tell you. He is going to be turning 11 years old in just a few weeks. It will be such a big blessing to see how God works in his young life from here on. I prayed a prayer to ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior when I was 11 (almost 12). I've never been the same. It was like the fork in the road...and I took one path that made all the difference. I hope that Thomas is as blessed by this path he has started out on. God bless all my children. God heal them and establish them in your love. How beautiful they are...and how blessed I am to love them!

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 ...
