Dreams

Juergen and I both had strange dreams last night. In his dream he was flying in an old plane. It's pilot was flying low because he had no instruments, and it was very cloudy. So he had to use his eyes. But he was hitting the top of the trees. Trying to avoid houses. And at one point Juergen fell from the plane. But he was OK. I don't know what the dream means. But I do know if we really want to fly forward, we need to rely on God, not our sight. We have to fly high, and count on the Holy Spirits help. I own eyes can really lead us into a tree! My dream was about a very busy street. There were many cars driving past. At one point I see a baby start to crawl across the street. I need to rush into the traffic to try to save the baby. But I have a toddler (one of my own kids) that is at risk of following me into the traffic. I think it has something to do with adoption. I have a hard time watching the orphans of the world face a life of risk ...I must rush in after them. I could think that helping another orphan could place my own children at risk. I guess that's one way to read it. But it could also mean one of my own kids will also follow me into the traffic, and adopt. I'm having allot of very clear dreams lately.

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 ...
