The Yuck

It is that time of year, and the yuck has started at our house. I am sure it will make it's round, at least once. The Princess has it right now, and hopefully she will be over it soon. Her attitude gets really bad when she isn't feeling well. It is something that we have been working on even when she is feeling well, but the battle is worse when she is sick. The Prince has lost a tooth. It is the fifth tooth that he has lost. The first two (bottom) had to be pulled because the adult teeth were growing behind and didn't push the little ones out. The next two(top) came out earlier this year. One came out in an apple and the other came out by the door. Hubby talked him into putting fishing line around it and a door. After some convincing Prince let Daddy tie the fishing line. That tooth is just now starting to come in. I was a little worried. This last one was beginning to get really sore. He wanted it out but was not going to do the door thing again. He even asked for an apple, but couldn't bite it. My youngest brother came over with his girlfriend and she is a self proclaimed expert tooth puller. She pulled it right out. It didn't even hurt. Now he is back to himself. I have been fighting off a horrible headache that comes and goes (mostly comes) for no apparent reason. So this evening the Prince will be getting a ride to AWANA with his leader so that Princess can get to bed. She was worried about getting everyone sick. I have been working on Christmas presents. I have two scarfs done and am working on a blanket right now. It is taking a while but if I keep on it, I will have it done by the end of next week. It looks like it will fit a queen sized bed when I am done. I am crocheting the blanket and I crochet fairly loose. I knitted the two scarfs and they only took about a week each. I hope to learn how to do mittens and hats by next year. We will be spending Thanksgiving with my father-in-law. We will be leaving next week Thursday. We will stay for about two weeks. It is time for the baby goats to be born and the kids are excited about the kids. There are also excited about the baby chicks that just hatched. I tried to explain that if the chicks made it, they wouldn't be chicks when we got there, and then they would not be able to hold babies. I don't think they really care. They really enjoy it down there on the farm. Truth be told, I do also, and miss it sometimes. If I could only combine the farm, all my family and friends here, and having my husband with me.......A girl can dream, can't she? That is not the plan that God has for me. That's about all the update for now. Life in all is pretty boring these days. All the doctor news is on the positive side and maybe I will go over all the dates another post. God Bless!!

God V Aliens

A thought has taken control of my brain. Not total control, but it constantly raises it's head. God versus aliens? Not who would win. I know who would win. God of course! No contest! It's more of a question that I just don't understand. Here is the question...It seems so easy for people to believe in aliens, yet it is so hard for them to believe in God. Sometimes it is not that they don't believe in God, they are sure that they do, but they don't believe that the Word is truth. It amazes me sometimes that our flesh is so easily persuaded into believing in a being that they have not seen and can't proove the existence of, but will not believe in a Being that they have not seen and can't proove the existence of. The Bible is the proof that God exists, that He is special and Holier than any other. Without trusting the Bible to be true, many will not believe in the existance of God or even His son and what Christ did for us. But with nothing concrete to proove that aliens exist...we still believe that they exist. We believe the people who say they have seen aliens, or have been ubducted by them. We blindly believe what they say and take it for truth. Why? We hear stories from people about how God has done a miracle in their life, or the life of someone else. Do we believe it? Not always. Most people would just shrug it off and think that it is just crazy. Why is it so different? That is the question. I just don't get it. I was there one time too. I used to think that the stories were silly, and they couldn't possibly be true. I guess this is just another way that Satan gets into our head and feeds us lies about what God wants and who He is. I never really thought about it before too much. It just hit me the other day that this is the case. I would like to have some actual statistics on how many people believe either way. I am still looking for this information. If anyone would happen to know where I can get it, it would be appreciated. So many thoughts run through my head. If I had more time, I would type more. Hopefully, I will find more time to enlighten. Have a Blessed Day!

Answer to the Ark question and feedback for my book

Hello brothers and sisters!

I pray that all is well with you. I think I have found an answer to the "How many animals did Noah take on the Ark?" question. I have asked a few people whos oppinion I value very much. Being that they are my older brothers and sisters (in Christ) I look to them for advice. I got answers both ways. Most have said that the reason for the uneven number is so that Noah could use the unclean animals for sacrifice after the Ark had landed. As to whether it was 7 pairs or 7 each....everyone is divided. I researched a little on the internet and found information both ways. I didn't find many answers to this question when I was looking online, so I guess that this doesn't slow any one down. I am not going to let it slow me down either and will quickly move on to another. I will just put this in my "Things to ask God when I get to Heaven" file. If He should come down from Heaven and tell me the answer, I will be sure to pass it on. If not, I will still welcome any of your imputs as I move on to my next motivation.

In my first blog I wrote that I was going to write a book. I haven't forgotten. I have even tried to put it off because I have no idea how to do this. I can write forever and sometimes it runs together and sometimes it is just rambling all over. I have been working on a couple of blogs that may be turned into chapters in the book. I feel that God has put me in a unique place to learn and share what I have learned with those who need it. I have had on my heart so many things that I want to study, learn, and share. From time to time I may post some questions that you could feel free to answer or not. Also, if there is any imput, or constructive criticism that you would like to give, it would be appreciated. I will be posting some of my blogs here. Please note that these are not complete. They are mostly just ramblings and will be refined at a later time. I pray that everything is accurate and not offensive to anyone. I also pray that someone can learn from my experience and my writings. If I am inaccurate in any way, and you notice it, please let me know. I am working on obedience and even though I don't know what God will do, I know what he has asked me to do. He may be just giving me a motivation to learn more for myself and the book may never come to be. He may turn what I have learned into a book for all to read. Two things I know. 1. One day I will see the Lord, whether He comes or I go, we will meet. 2. God has put this heavy on my heart, and kept it on my mind. I must be obedient to that even if I don't know where it is going or why He is asking me to do it. I must trust Him knowing that He has the plans and they are good. No matter what I see, His plan is good. He does nothing but good. Obedience is the first step. I have learned a lot in the last two years about trusting the Lord. I have grown so much since I first accepted Christ, and chose to live my life differently. It is a never ending battle. I am constantly shown things that I need to change in myself. God is gracious and God is kind. As I learn I pray that you also will learn. I pray that I write according to Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen". God will take me home one day, and I will do my best to be obedient until then. May God bless you greatly.
