New School Year

Anthony thinks his teacher is mean & is too hard on him. He wants her to stay by his side because he thinks he can talk her into doing the work for him. He doesn't want to do the subject the teacher has chosen to do next. He's ready to take a break after only a few minutes....lunch, watch an educational video, or "a video game...please, Mom???)
Oh, the joys of homeschooling!

Do you believe that God is omnipotent?

"The God who lives inside of you is as powerful & dynamic right now as He was before He came to live in you. He did not blow a fuse simply because He entered your life.

God has no factory rejects. God has no "seconds" store. God has no basement bargain centers. God has no irregulars on His assemble line. God don't make no junk!"

----from God Don't Make No Junk
----written by Reverend Billy Joe Grandstaff

Camden Park

Anthony went to Camden park with the church Saturday, August 22. He loved it.

"Better than Dollywood," he said. That was because he was able to run around with his friends here.

Mike & I had to have a Pronto Pup corn dog, then a pineapple milkshake, then cotton candy. I refused to buy a funnel cake, even tho I wanted one.... but then Tracy shared hers!

And I did ride the Big Dipper.

....and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. Zec. 12:10

But:
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live John 11:25

Today is a sad day.

16-year-old Boots the cat has been declining rapidly for more than a week...not eating, drinking, or going to the litter boxes. The vet is coming this evening while Anthony is gone to see a movie......

"Mom, are we going today?"

"I don't know, Son."

"Mom. It's just rain.....You know, water......It's not some deadly acid."

"Son, you've been watching way too many cartoons."

Ink pens

July 16:
I look like an Iranian who just voted. I have black ink on my index fingers.

Anthony was just reading something that said "ball-point pen" so I decided to have him write with a fountain pen. I found the Mont Blonc pen Jason had bought me, &, of course, it was dry. So I had to re-ink it.......

This also reminded me of writing tests when I was in elementary school. We had to use fountain pens, & that was not fun for a lefty...I had ink all over the side of my hand!
