Knowledge

Ryan has completed his very first week at school. He is attending Bridgerland Applied Technology College. He is taking classes in Electronics and Industrial Automation. Here is a circuit board that they did on Friday. This is a non-functioning circuit, he was practicing his soldering skills. When he is done, he will be a certified Electronic Industrial Automated Technician.

Proverbs 1:7 " The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction".

Happy Birthday To YOU..

Jaden is officially 11 years old. Happy Birthday Jaden. We got him a new alarm clock. This is not an ordinary clock, it is a SONIC BOOM! You see, Jaden, loves to sleep. He sleeps so well that he can have 5 alarms going off at one time and he does not awake. The only thing that gets him going is a good kick in the pants! So we decided to get him the unsleepable alarm. Not only is it loud enough to wake the neighbors, it also has a bed shaker. So you wake feeling refreshed as well as startled. See you in the morning son, Love Dad and Mom.

Psalms 4:8 "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety".

Reformers

Last night at our weekly Reformers meeting, we worked on our "One way, One truth, One life, Once to die" handouts. Jesus is the ONLY way to freedom. The world teaches us that we can solve our problems through self help programs. The thinking is, you must think higher of yourself. Being proud of ourselves is the best way to overcome hardships. This is WRONG! Pride will only bring you lower.

Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 29:23 "A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit"

Scarlet Fever

I do not know if you can see this, but Joshua has little bumps all over his body. (If you click on the picture it will show you a close up.) It is Scarlet Fever. That sounds scary , but it is not. It is a reaction to having strep throat. Some people are allergic to strep and this is how their body reacts. Sounds weird I know, but I think it is helpful. I always know when he has strep and if it is worth the 20$ copay to see the doctor.

Exodus 23:25 "And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee".

Waiting for Him

This week Ryan is gone, gone, gone. He is going to school from 8-2:30. He then stops here to pick up his lunch for a whole 2 minutes. Then he heads to work from 3:30-2a.m.. I miss him. This week however, will be one of a kind. He is quitting his job to become a FULL TIME student. I can not wait to see him, for more than 2 minutes that is.

Romans 8:25 "But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it".

First Day

We are starting our first day of school. The kids are very excited. Joshua even has his own desk.

We start every morning with our personal devotions. Ryan is at his first day of school as well. He is attending Bridgerland Applied Technology College. Way to go Ryan.

Proverbs 3:13 "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding".

Reformers

Tonight at our weekly Reformers Meeting, we learned about Principal #2. "Every sin has it's origin in our heart". Our heart has a switch. We need to switch our heart to follow God. We need to pull our heart to do what God wants, what God does. We have two different natures.. The human (sinful) nature, and the Spirit (Christ dwelling within) nature. The one that we feed is the one that will win. If we are in our Bibles, praying, going to church, seeking God in all things then we will win the victory.

Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:".

MMMMMMmmmm Good

After a doctor visit for my mother, she took us all out to lunch at Denny's in Tremonton. Jaden really enjoyed his Moons-Over-My-Hammy. I had a Mushroom Swiss Burger, Ryan the usual Grand Slam breakfast, Jurney a Classic Cheeseburger, and Joshua a Kids Sampler. Thanks MOM!

1Thessalonians 5:18 "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you".

Interesting

This is a WALL of Smarties. We had our friends Patrick and Lara over for dinner. We then played cards and ate goodies. Patrick built this wall so we could not see his cards.

Nehemiah 4:6 "So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work".

Corn, Corn, Corn

Our corn is ready! Our corn is done! Our corn is delicious, do you want some?
Jurney and Joshua had a lot of fun getting the corn ready to eat for our dinner last night! The kids have been in charge of the garden this year. They have worked very hard. They are now seeing their efforts pay off.

Psalms 126:5 "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy".
