Family & Friends in the Son

Hard work...

well, time-consuming anyway.....the weather was just right yesterday to start pulling out some fencing. Now, I just need to find the time to take the load to the dump. Yee-hah.

We had our monthly homeschool meeting yesterday and decided on the date for our annual end of year graduation dinner.

I will have two that get to have "extra-fun" that evening. Rinnah will be graduating from kindergarten and Hannah is graduating 8th grade.

Where does the time go, I think I saw it whisk around the corner, slide down the slide and dart past the shadow of the big tree in front, but I never can catch it!

Anyway, it will be a fun evening with lovely friends.

Apr. 6, 2006 - You and your lovely writing

Posted by MoeMoe

I am so heartened to read your and Allison's writing on these sites. You are thinking women who don't allow the grass to grow under active faith. God is at work in your souls and it's very evident. I mean this as praise to Him.

Grandpa Herman often quoted part of a poem he once knew as a youth, something about "Stop, oh stop now, time in your flight and make me a child again, just for tonight."

Well, I'm all for pushing on, even though I like the rhyme. "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be" is more to the point.

Have a super day and let's hope for rain. Graduations! Think of our little ones graduating!

Love you, Mom

I loved the walmart list. Not sure how brave I would be to do some of them. My hubby is such a talker and will talk to anyone who listens that sometimes I end up waiting and waiting and waiting... It used to be harder when the three kids were little. Now I have a couple of kid talkers!! Your kids must be spread out to have one graduating from kindergarten and eight. Sounds exciting!
Blessings, mlpinky

EE's example of our resting on God and sometimes forgetting that He's there to hold us is really good. I'm reading a book about Celtic Christianity which I'm mulling quite a lot. Never knew anything about Pelagius or how he differed from Augustine who impacted the Roman church with emphasis on man's depravity and need for a church hierarchy as opposed to God's goodness in us waiting to be reborn. I'm wanting to learn more about this. Love, Mom
