Audrey screamed and jumped out of bed: “WE DID IT AGAIN! IT’S 6:30!”
“Audrey, it’s Saturday.”
“OH…:P”
Our wake up time on a school day is 6:00am. Audrey leaves the house by 6:30am. One day last week we woke up late. Now she is hypersensitive to waking up late.
True or False:
1. Gifted students must be challenged or they will get lazy.
2. Gifted students enjoy teaching/tutoring other students.
According to the GATE Coordinator at Amy’s school at last night’s meeting, the answer to #1 is False. If gifted students are not challenged, they will not get lazy, but they will get bored.…
On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching. Now a man was there whose right hand was withered. The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a reason to accuse him. Luke 6:6-7
The Pharisees probably had more faith in Jesus’ ability to heal than any of the disciples.
Did I ever mention where the picture on this blog’s banner came from?
These are the water drops on the sunroof of our car while we were washing the car. Elliot took the picture.
The simple pleasures in life are the Stuff that Matters – the title of my blog, in case you haven’t noticed.
No waiting at Astro Blaster. We came out of it and went right back in to ride it again.
No waiting at Pirates of the Carribean. The updated improvements were well done. No more “Hoho, hoho, a pirate’s life for me…”

To be honest, I can think of many sins that entangle me in my Christian life. The writer of Hebrews says to throw off everything that hinders…
Our church challenged everyone in our congregation to read through the Bible in a year. A schedule is published for us, and if we follow it daily, we would have read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation in a year.
The streak of rebelliousness in me doesn’t like to be told what to do.…
Often we seem bent on ensuring that the next generation will have a better life than did the preceding generations – the ability to live “the good life.” But we define that life as the presence of comfort and secuity combined with the abasence of hardship and disappointment. Well-intentioned parents often try to buy experiences and environments that foster a soft and satisfying lifestyle for their progeny.
Today is Elliot‘s birthday, same day as Martin Luther King’s.
A small incident today woke me up to the realization that Elliot is a man, no longer a boy.
We went to visit my friends to see their bunny (why we wanted to see their bunny is another story.)
I was confronted by 4 doctors the day before President Bush announced the US policy on embryonic stem cell research. Without asking my opinion, these friends demanded to know: “Why do you oppose stem cell research?†I told them I was very much in favor of stem cell research. But I do have 2 questions for them.
