James study

It's a full week and next week will also be full. I finally sat down and finished the Bible study for Friday night on James chapter 1. I actually love doing the study but I get very distracted. I'll sit down to learn and the phone rings, the door bell rings, or Jessica needs something. It's hard to get going on it. But I managed to finish, and now I can relax. Tonight is the first English Alpha Course. I will be there (God willing) but I will not be leading it. We have a good team and we will share the leadership. There are going to be 10 International students. 4 of them come from China! My heart sings!!!! Tomorrow I need to clean my house. Friday I will cook for the pot luck. I think we will do something easy like homemade pizza. I got my grape in the mail today. I also got my potato seeds. I also ordered some hey for the garden. I will use this as a mulch. It came today. Maybe I'll plant the potatoes? Or maybe I'll just take a nap. I'm so tired!

caring for the garden said…
Sounds like you are busy as usual. A wise choice, to wait and see if you would really use a green house. One concern. You said you bought hay for your garden. I hope you meant straw instead of hay. Hay is basically dry grass. It will compost quickly if it gets wet and is full of seed that will sprout and grow. Straw takes a couple years to compost and because it is only the stalks of grain that has been harvested, there are no seeds.

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 ...
