For Today...September 14, 2009

Outside my window...fabulous sunrise, looks like it will be a beautiful morning, geckos finishing up their night hunting and chirping to each other on the veranda

I am thinking...about the great sermon we heard preached by a friend yesterday. He used parts of Acts 4 & 5 to teach about authenticity. Isn't technology amazing?!?

From the learning rooms...History - WWII, Science - continuing studying the micro world, Sarah - finishing her research paper, reading line graphs, Benjamin - exploring cause & effect, math review, Olivia - compound words, division (sharing & grouping), Katherine - intro to "circle time"

I am thankful for... a potential new walking buddy!

From the kitchen...waffles, watermelon, and scrambled eggs to begin the day, sweet friends to enjoy chili for lunch before they leave on furlough tomorrow, and we'll close our day with chicken & rice with some precious chocolate pudding for dessert (thanks to amazing care packages!)

I am wearing...mint green t-shirt, khaki skirt, mother-of-pearl hoop earrings

I am reading..."We Do Not Lose Heart" by Kathy Taber. She and her husband stayed with us during the first week of SITAG's Conference, and the book chronicles the ups and downs of their adventures while working on translating the New Testament.

I am hoping...that we can get good airline prices for Benjamin and Aaron to go to Brisbane

I am creating...new plans for school since it looks like we will be returning to Marulaon later than we had anticipated

I am hearing...the hum of the ceiling fan, insects outside, birds chirping

Around the house...just normal stuff this week, hungry mouths to feed, dirty clothes to wash, precious children to love, beloved husband to adore, absorbent minds to teach

A few plans for the rest of the week...some Wycliffe Associates coming for supper on Tuesday night and another couple on Thursday night, a SITAG Advisory Committee meeting on Thursday for Aaron

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
