Apr. 14, 2009 - China Study
For school we have been studying the country of China. I've learned so much about this amazing country.
The thing that has really made me see the country as a whole new place though was some videos we got from Netflix about it. It's actually a T.V. series called Wild China, and although it clearly has evolutionists views it has still been very enjoyable.
At first when I found out I had to watch it I was positive it would be boring.
When it started though my mouth was soon hanging open at the beautiful landscapes and some of the mind boggling creatures. Although the show does tend to make me sleepy, it's not in a boring sort of way.
Some of the animals were just so interesting I had to share!
The Snub Nosed Monkey
Woah! What a weird animal! Although they get their name from their nose, if I had named it I would have called it the Puffed Lip Monkey. That's what seemed to stand out to me anyway.
Kitti's Hog Nosed Bat
I can't believe there is a bat as small as a bee! The way these little animals live is truly amazing to me.
Red Panda
I've always loved the Red Panda's. With that sweet innocent face, how could you not!
After learning more about these amazing creatures I am still trying to figure out why some people think they were created by a mere accident in nature? Even when they have God's name written all over there very being people are still blind to his awesome power.

I have a relative who used to help with adoptions in China. During a trip there, they visited a zoo and saw a Red Panda. Her interpreter kept saying "Panda, it is a Panda" but she didn't believe him, thinking that it was some kind of raccoon. I think she told him that too :-). When she came home, she told Dad the story. The next month we got a magazine with...a Red Panda poster. She got a good laugh at herself when we showed the poster to her as she realized that it was indeed a Panda!! :-)
Enjoy your China study!! Oh, and I love your template! I think I am going to change mine with the seasons :-) I might try the blues and browns for winter.

That really neat that you are learning about China. I know some people that are missionaries to the people of China.

Yes, the lips on those monkeys really do stick out! :-)
I love China. It is such an interesting place!
I know what you mean about not being able to afford riding lessons. I hope we can find a barn that will allow us to work for lessons otherwise I doubt I will be able to convince my parents to let me go!

Hi Jane!

Thanks for you comment awhile back! I haven't been on for AGES, so I just now saw them. Anyways, that's too bad that you don't have a horse. I would LOVE to have one, too, but.....maybe someday. *sigh* Anyways, how was your Easter? Ours was purty good. ;)
Thanks again!
Love,
