Anyone want to help babysit????

School Chapels

Last school year, we started walking down "Route 66", the 66 books of the Bible. We only did the OT, so this year we are covering the NT. We have talked about the Gospels as being the pillars to the NT, Roman house that we are exploring. In each Gospel, we have talked about a "P". In Matthew, we had several lessons on Principles, such as attitude to be, forgiving, prayer, etc. For Mark, we talked about the Power of Jesus, in Luke it was the Parables of Jesus and in John the Promises of Jesus. Here are a few pics from one of the lessons in Mark, loaves and fishes, talking about Jesus has the power to supply our needs. Everyone was glad they could partake of banana loaves also. Mel

Room for another one?????

Had four extra children, which seems to happen a lot lately, due to situations out of our control. We just returned from town and I needed to prepare something to eat and of course that's when the baby started crying and everyone wanted to be held. :)

I'm back :)

Vacation to San Diego was very short but great and the demands of life afterwards have created LOS and I am out of blogging for over a month. My favorite part, besides camping with family was watching the sunset over the ocean and lights shining. I heard a phrase from a song today, that said, "Just let me be a lighthouse for Jesus." This expresses my heart's desire. Mel

From Sea to shining Sea

At the beginning of this month we were privileged to go to San Diego, CA. I haven't been on the west coast much, neither on the east coast very often. But what I have seen I like the San Diego area. My brother, Jonathan, went there for his medical boards and a medical conference. He took his family with him. We met him there and spent a couple days visiting various places and enjoying the area. One thing I found very disconcerting. You're driving along on Interstate and you see this sign that says "Dead End", you look beyond and you see the Great Big Pacific Ocean! That's quite an eye opener when you see it for the first time. We had lots of fun. We will try to catch up later. It seems like yesterday was Oct. 1, and tomorrow is Oct. 31.

Enchanting Tidbits "Columbus Day"

We have been taught all our lives how in 1492 Christopher Columbus was the first European to discover the New World. We even have a National Holiday celebrating it. I have a Question to ask. Was he? Now I've heard there are some archeology sites along the east coast that some believe are remains of the Vikings. I'm kind of a history nut and when I find a book about history I like to look at it. Well, this summer at a second hand store I found a book titled "Mysteries & Miracles of New Mexico. Right down my alley. I bought it. There have been some very interesting things that have transpired in New Mexico where there are no explanations. Not very far from my sisters house in Grants, is basalt rock with very strange lettering on it. There are 11 sentences composed of 214 letters. For years some have tried to read and decipher these words. Some believe they are Phoenician characters. Others believe they are archaic Hebrew and a summary of the 10 Commandments. Others say they are Greek. What ever the case is, Scientist agree that they are very very old, dated close the the time of Christ. One thought maybe 500 B.C. Again the question I ask is, "Was he the first?"
I haven't seen this yet. I have only recently learned about it, but I am anxious to see it and photograph it.
