sleeping in

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.

It's nice to have help. My help is all grown up and out of the house. I don't know what sleeping in is, and don't know that I could do it if I could.
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.

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 ...
