Nicole volunteered to get the kids off to school this morning. I honestly don't know what I would do with out her. She is so helpful. We are very blessed to have such a gift of a daughter! Today we keep getting the house ready for the big party on Saturday. It's really good motivation to do all the stuff that gets put off. In the end, I'm so glad to have a super clean house and garden. And after the party a professional cleaning team will come in and clean up. So for a few magical moments I'm going to have a clean house. Very nice! It will not last. Order always moves towards chaos, but for a short time we will see order. Because I'm more rested from sleeping in, I have the time to think about the seminar Juergen and I will be teaching in October. I'm begging to think about the application part. What real ministry can we bring to this teaching on the end times. You do allot of reflection on the darkness that is in this very worldly world. It is pretty disheartening. But things where also dark for the early church. We are salt and we are light. We can not lose our taste and our function. And I personally get discouraged about this. But the church should get better at building up it's people. We must be salt and light. And I hope we can help build people up.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

I do take a nap or rest for an hour in the afternoon to get a second wind.
What a great idea a party to get ready for and professionals to come in afterwards.
Someday maybe, in the mean time i'm on my own.
