Og Mandino

I have just finished reading the greatest miracle in the world by Og Mandino. Has anyone ever read this? Ever heard of him? It seemed like a pretty strange book.

trust in my heart

Sarah explained to me today that she nows wishes come true you just have to trust in your heart and work hard to earn the things you want. I asked her what she trusted and she answered God of course! later today she had a trial she dropped a polly shirt down the drain and cried knowing she would be in trouble for trying to wash her polly's in the sink when told not too. She was told that she needed to solve the problem she tried to reach it with a clothespin and only dropped the clothespin in and further complicated her problem I told her we often do complicate our problems if we try to fix them without praying. Then she prayed, we decided to call grandpa Geri and ask him for help he will soon be over. She told me she trusted in our heart it would be o.k. so little by little I think she is learning faith and problem solving.

happy new years! cheaper by the dozen

well happy new years everyone! hope you had a good one! We had a great weekend just hung out with friends til after midnight had a potluck, all the men ending up playing some neat bible game on nintendo (or something like that) and us women ended up playing geustures in another room both parties were frequentely disturbed as we had about 20 kids running around! then everyone up and ready for church in the morning me and my friend Andrea were glad to have nursery duty as this got us out of dressing too formally and we could sit around bleary eyed! even all the kids in the nursery had stayed up past midnight so they were tired as well. we all napped in the afternoon and then I ran to DQ for icecreams since it was warm enough to play in the yard. this is a real treat for our family since we are normally completely dairy free! (but what can I say I ad a craving). after eve service kids were zonked and went right to bed Brian and I watched a great movie we got from the library called cheaper by the dozen. It's a really good movie based on a true story and a novel I would highly recommend it to anyone. has anyone heard of it? goes right along with homeschooling they had 12 kids they tried to raise very modestly and emphasized education.

family reading

We are currently reading the chronicles of Narnia together. Sarah is fascinated by it and we will probably take her to see the movie next week or so.
