An article in the LIFE Weekend Magazine says there are signs that couples are having more than the current average of 2.09 children. The National Center for Health Statistics’ data has shown a jump in the number of births to mothers of two or more – 28% of all births in 2003, the year of its most recent survey, an increase of almost 4% since 1996 and 12% since 1984.

Amy was listening to some music on Elliot’s Ipod nano. It doesn’t have an obvious on/off button. “How do you turn it off?” Amy asked. I don’t know. We googled it and found out you hold down the pause button.
Gosh, how are you suppose to know these things? I suppose you can read the…
He Maketh No Mistake
My Father’s way may twist and turn, My heart may throb and ache,

While that question may make us think whether or not we’ve made preparations for our eternal future, a lady in our group gave another type of answer.

Have you ever read M.C. Beaton? She has a Hamish MacBeth series of whodunnit type of murder mysteries.
That’s what I’ve been reading lately.
Today I received in a mail a book from a friend. It’s called Becoming Who God Intended, by David Eckman. I will start on that one too. I like to read a couple of books simultaneously. I am not a fast reader but I love to read.
The solar car story of God’s answer to our prayers should be remembered and passed on to generations to come.
Elliot started the Walnut High School Solar Car Team in October, 2004, his junior year. They have nine months to build a life-size car from scratch in order to participate in the Dell-Winston Solar Car…
“We will not hide them from their children;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders he has done…
Then they would put their trust in God

but would keep his commands”
