Week in review: Our first week

This Monday we started our first week of school. I’m glad we waited until late August to begin because it gave the boys a few weeks of summer vacation time.  We had a light week with basic subjects and a few electives such as health and science mixed in. 


Each day we are doing Calendar Math. We made a new Calendar and Morning board this year and the boys really like it.  The boys are learning

No Acting God

I am not God and neither are you.
Only God is God, and yet....

Many people expect others to have, all the answers??
They place their problem onto someone else and expect them to make it right!
It is not nice when you are put in this situation, neither is it fair.

When others do this, it is very selfish..
After all no-one in the world has it perfect!!

Everyone has problems!!
And...praise God that it is so.
Trouble and strife keeps us humble.

The good news is:
All we can do,  is put our faith in God.

All we can do is, become as a little child...

Our Heavenly Father tells us.
"My child, pay attention to what I say.

Listen carefully to my words.
Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
for they bring life to those who find them,
and healing to their whole body."
Proverbs 4:20-22

Gods Word is Truth!!
Read this over and over..
And believe.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, 
neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate ME from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39

Rejoice in your heart!!
Allow yourself to let this sink deep within your soul.
God has all in hand..

God says this, I believe it, and that's the end of it!

Grandchildren Shiarn of Daniella and Izaiah of Lee-Joel

Children have NO hang-ups.
Think back, remember that time..
And trust in God.

WAKE UP WORLD

The Christian faith is one of many.
However, which other religion gives instruction and information about the end of the world????
And a Savour, Jesus Christ who redeems us!

We call the Bible the Word Of God.

And surely, if God created the world, then He knows what He's talking about!

The New Testament of that Word, teaches about the End Times.

I believe everything we are looking at happening today, points to end times.

Because of this, our Heart and Faith must be right with God!

How Many Wars have we see in the last century??

More then in the previous six thousand years!

How many Natural Disasters have happened in just the last year???

Let me refresh your memory. 

Extra Heavy snow falls in U.S, Great Britain and Europe.

Then Queensland Australia hit by Cyclone Yasi and 2/3rds of this HUGE state,

(2 times the size of Texas and 6 times the size of Britain) was flooded!

Queensland darkened area.

Some northern parts are still under water!

Next, New Zealand suffered a massive Earthquake.

Now Japan has been hit by a Tsunami!

How terrifying! and what's next??

Are you prepared?

Do you know the Creator God?

Have you read His Word to have a personal relationship with Him?

Starting at the New Testament is the beginning.

(I amend this to say, "A good place to begin.")

This is what is said about these times.

In Matthew Chapter 24 Verse7.

"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

(How many wars have you seen in the last century.)

And there will be famines, pestilences,
(Everywhere) 

and Earthquakes (Tsunami's) in various places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows."

(Before the end comes).

Obama Can't See the Koran is a Killer!

President Obama's praise of Islam is putting America in danger! According to him the Koran promotes peace and tolerance for Muslims and non-Muslims. That is a dangerous misrepresentation of this inherently violent and undemocratic text....I know I've read it. I doubt if Obama or his cabinet cronies have read it because his public utterances exposes how his naive interpretation of the Koran actually encourages terrorism and anti-American sentiment---putting us at greater risk for another terrorist attack.

After studying the Koran and cutting through the jungle (and jumble) of disconnected chapters I found the over 400 shocking decrees to hate, maim and kill Jews and Christians. Also, the other religions will fare even worse in what the Muslims want to do to them to guarantee Muslim world supremacy. Of course it's all Allah's fault for saying these things in the form of delusional ravings by the angel Gabrielle that Muhammad had from the age of 40 that were written down and eventually became the Koren.

In reading Muhammad's biography you see the mean streak come out gradually as he wanders around Arabia telling villagers he's the new (improved & better) prophet of God (Allah). After he is completely rebuffed and fobbed off by the pagans, polytheists, Christian and Jewish villagers he conveniently gets a fresh vision that tells him "to strive hard (jahidi, a verbal form of the noun jihad) against the unbelievers and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell, an evil refuge indeed" So he attacks them with a large group of believers (booty-loving thugs) and subjugates people all across Arabia and each time he makes the survivors an offer they can't refuse:
1) Believe in me and follow Allah's teachings I have brought to you and you will live.
2) Continue to believe in your God but you will pay an Infidel's Tax (jizya) to live as dhimmis in your newly conquered village/town as a way of "showing your submission and obedience".
3) And if that's still not to your liking.....you will be killed!
+ CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS SAYING THIS ???

As Muhammad and his new found believers grew in strength the Koran now directed Muslims explicitly to make war against and subjugate Jews and Christians further afield. "Allah commanded His messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures (Jews & Christians) and he prepared his army to fight the Romans (Byzantines) and calling His people to Jihad". This great empire the Muslims would chip away at for centuries and ultimately destroy. They got as far as Spain and the gates of Vienna before Pope Urban, in 1095, finally said "enough is enough" and started the first of seven Crusades over 200 years that ousted them and their nasty religion out of Europe. Once again, the Bible would reign supreme as the source of the Western ideas of love, charity, justice and reason.

The way I see it...if our governing officials and media spokesmen continue to be so Politically Correct and ignore my warnings to speak out against the Koran's teachings and what's taught in our country's mosques, they do so at their own risk. These Islamic jihadists are not ignoring what's in the Koran, and are working to destroy our freedoms in obedience to Koranic dictates. So when Obama is seen on world-wide television genuflecting in front of a Saudi Arabian ruler, as he did last year, he is giving a clear encouragement to every Muslim not to respect him or what the United States stands for and emboldening the radicals and their moderate Muslim sympathizers (found in every Western country), to further acts of hate and terror in hoping to bring down the West. More on this later.

Note: I recommend you get and read The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran by Robert Spencer: Regnery Publishers

Bible Harvest Craft

This Sunday we read a bible story about Elijah from The Young Learner's Bible Storybook. (pages 120-125). We read that God told Elijah that there would be no rain. Elijah went into the place where God showed him and there God provided him with water, bread and meat. Our memory verse was 2 Corinthians 9:10For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way,

Noah's Ark Lapbook

Although I have not covered a Noah's Ark lesson with my sons, I plan to. I made this lapbook yesterday for my older sister who asked me if I could make a Bible Activity lapbook for her church's toddler bible class. I will be making another one like this with my sons later this month. As you can see this lapbook opens vertically as opposed to the other lapbooks we have made. I used a blue file
