Today...

Sunday, November 8th, 09 4:51pm

 
Outside my window..

  It's pretting dark out now and 57 degress (not bad).  But wow, dark at this time of day already!!

  
I am thinking...

  About this post and the salad I am eating. 

  I am thankful for...

   All the blessings and health we've had!

I am wearing...

 jeans and a green t-shirt

  I am reading..

  2 Corinthians & Proverbs (KJV)

  16# in the original Elsie Dinsmore series (sort of, right now I'm mostly rereading the Winnie the Horse Gentler series)

 "So Much More" By Anna Sofia Botkin and Elizabeth Botkin

"Blue Denim And Lace" By Dr. Jack Hyles

 The Girlhood Home Companion Magazine


I am creating...
  An old-time dress, a quilt.  And I was doing a knitting project but I've hit a snag.

 
One of my favorite things...

  Bible Quizzing

   For education this week...

   All regular school things, along with teaching young children (AWANA), sewing, horse riding, and probably other life skills.

A keeper at home skill I am using/learning...

     I'm sewing a small quilt for Home Ec. class.  I also feel like baking this week.  Oh, and I'll probably be cleaning too.

A godly character trait I plan to work on...

  Oh, there's so many I should work on... meekness, not being so shy but not doing all the talking either (I don't know if that will ever happen though :-) being a Godly sister and daughter...

Scripture I am memorizing...

  1Cor. 10, and keeping 1Cor 2 and 9 fresh in my memory.

I am praying for...

  Prayer requests from our church, our country, and others that come up... 

For the rest of the week...

  Wednesday: AWANA (my mom, sister, and I do the 3-5 year olds).  Friday: the long awaited day - we're getting our little Leonberger puppy!!!  And I'm sure other things will arise.
 
A picture thought I'd like to share...
As some of you may know or have hinted from my mentions of it - our church has started a Bible Quizzing team!  We memorize chapters (this year from 1 & 2 Cor. and Titus) and then every first Saturday of the month we compete against other teams.  Well, last time we didn't do so well - let's just our team got 3rd place (last place) every time and I only answered two questions correctly.  This time we got four 3rd places, one 2nd places, and two 1st places!!  And this time I got fourteen questions answered correctly!!!  Anna got five!  So just to say, we are having allot more fun now!!  Below is a picture of us quizzing last month, sorry, no pictures of this time.
