We just heard. We were checking my son's emails and there was one marked "Eagle" from his advancement chairperson. We opened it and it said, "Dear Ben, It's official, You are now officially an Eagle Scout." Praise the Lord. We are so happy. After all the long hard work and all the waiting it is now official. The message went on to say it was time to start preparing for the Eagle Court of Honor Ceremony. It is funny because Ben tried to not think about it. He told me many times that he felt like he earned it even if the National turned him down. We decided that we would celebrate anyway. What is funny is today we were on our way home from working at church and Ben said that he was a little concerned about the ceremony and the reception. I asked him why. He said that he was a little afraid to get up in front of everyone to talk and as far as the reception he felt he had to talk to everyone. I told him he could use note cards and he wouldn't have to talk to everyone they talk to each other. It was interesting that he talked positive about the ceremony even without knowing that he was official. Congratulations Ben, on a job well done!

I have been home schooling our children since 1992. My oldest graduated in May 2008 from Northern Kentucky College. My second oldest is still in college. I am still homeschooling my only son and youngest daughter. With many ups and downs both in home schooling and life in general we keep moving forward with the Lords guidance and strength. I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13.
I am very busy with volunteering and helping where I can. I am a leader in our local American Heritage Girls Scouting Organization. My youngest daughter is in the American Heritage Girls and my son is in the Boy Scouts. I believe it is important to help others when you can but most important is family.
The 23rd Pslam is my favorite even though I have many favorites I know that when I recite or read the 23rd Pslam I feel such a closeness with God. I feel like this Pslam is a comfort for me like a childs security blanket. I am a Precious One to my Lord and he is with me always. I chose Precious One as my user name to remind me that in Gods sight I am His Precious One and to let you all know that your too are Precious to the Lord.
