Sweet Nibblets

WOW! It's a little dusty around here! Better get the canned air and clean it up a bit! We have been blowing and going, doing yard work, setting up a pool and enjoying our time together.

In a few weeks we will be heading to San Antonio! Watch out Shamu!! We are excited to get away and spend some family time together. I know I've heard people at church complain about not having enough time with their husband and families, I've griped about that also so we are purposely heading to where no one else will be so that we can be together.

Our 3 day school week has been shot this week. First a funeral, a visit from my father in-law and picking out a car thru an online auction. Hopefully, we will find one we like and can afford. We have a rule in our house that we've always have gone by...our car payment CAN NOT be more than our house payment. And since our house payment is a small one...

We are on our second week of Becoming a vessel God can use. It's amazing how God uses imperfect people. This week we studied Rahab. There she was living a ungodly life in a pagan country but she knew that God had promised the land to the Israelites. She committed treason to help them and saved her family in the process.

She was a prostitute. I wonder if she ever got rid of that "label"? God saw fit to put her in the blood line of Jesus though. I wonder why Moses wasn't labeled a "murderer"? or why David wasn't labeled an "adulterer"?

Wonder if it's because we women use labels and men don't? Or if labels matter more to women then men. We women are weird creatures! Why don't we let go of things like that?

More questions, still waiting for answers...

We are pretty much set for 5th grade next year. We are looking forward to getting together with a group of people to do Science. And History will be a blast! Time consuming, but a blast!

Amanda will be taking Spanish using SOS Elem. Spanish. Science will be Apologia Astronomy and History we'll be going thru the Beautiful Feet Early American History. Everything else we stuck with Bob Jones. Our first day will be Sept. 1st.

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now. We are still around just enjoying our time together!
