FOR TODAY
Monday, September 27, 2010
Outside my window...
The computer tells me it's 43F out there (that's 6C, Felicity & Ruby) ~ sounds a bit chilly, but I'm sure the cattle are happy :-) And it will be warming up with the sun.
Forecast predicts a high of 70F (21C) and similar weather for the next few days ~ sounds perfect for harvest!
I am thinking...
I should call Vicki today and make an appointment with our chiropractor :-\
Tim says I need super-glue on my atlas...
I am thankful for...
...the incredible time Kate & Tim had on their trip to Prague
~ and that they are home again!
...Saturday's rain that kept Tim indoors
~ he was able to install the shelves in another closet :-)
...our God who answers prayer
I am praying for...
...the 200,000 people who received a copy of John & Romans in Prague, the 800 people who took a complete Czech Bible home from the Bible Night after hearing the gospel presented, the 5 new visitors who were at church with the Rettigs yesterday, those who may attend the Wednesday Bible studies, and the Rettigs and Czech believers to continue in God's strength
...my Dad whose biopsy was rescheduled for tomorrow after he caught a virus last week
From the learning rooms...
We are starting several combined DVD classes for the high schoolers today ~ Grammar/composition, Speech, Chemistry, Bible doctrines, Spanish. I'm hoping we can follow the schedule and get it all done! ("cheerfully" might be accomplished another day)From the kitchen...
Today: taco rice casserole I put together on Saturday (rain stopped so Tim grilled steaks instead :-))Leftovers in the fridge: yummy steak and yesterday's beef roast
Tim probably will be eating a hot dinner from the grocery deli for lunch and a sandwich from Subway for supper. Think I should take him some leftovers instead?
After I cook up some more chicken, we could have chicken packets or chicken fajita quesadillas. I made buns on Saturday so we could have BBQ with leftover beef or grill hamburgers...
I am creating...
mended jeans for Tim (2 pairs ~ woot, woot!) What I really want to do is sew more flannel baby blankets ;-)I am going...
...to see the insurance agent today ~ He will be really glad to get our policies finalized... for now ;-)...to Kids 4 Truth, youth group and prayer meeting on Wednesday
...to piano lessons/groceries on Friday
...to turn the calendar to October! :o
I am reading...
Jeremiah ~ God has blessed the Rechabites for their faithful obedience.. and the king has thrown Jeremiah's scroll (God's words) into the fireI am hoping...
that Kate & Tim will soon get over their jet lag and cough crud fatigueI am hearing...
the Cattleman participating with his math or language classAround the house...
souvenirs from Prague, sewing/mending, laundry room is too quiet, and it's time for another DVD class on the TV for my older students (be right back)One of my favorite things...
soaking up some sunshine on a crisp fall day
Pondering these words...
"Do not argue with an idiot.
He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience"
(with thanks to Dan Phillips' blog, found via Julie at Herding Grasshoppers)
"For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."
I Peter 1:24-25
A few plans for the rest of the week:
schoolwork, housework... Tim will be looking at corn, corn, corn, or beans, beans, beans...
our Big Kids have a youth conference on Saturday ~ Back on Track

Thanks for the conversions... ;-)) 6 degrees sounds chilly to me! Then again - it's been so hot here...
ReplyDeleteThe Prague photos look so interesting, it must have been a wonderful experience. Makes me feel like going somewhere...
Wishing you a wonderful week,
Felicity
What exciting news from Prague! I love all the pictures and notes you've shared. What a memory for your husband and daughter to have shared together! And who knows how God will use it in the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your warm, fall days. We had a couple of cold weeks in August and the feed corn here is still too wet to harvest. It's two weeks late, and many of the fields are very low - next to a river. If we get rain the fields get saturated and won't be able to be harvested. *ugh*
Julie
it's about time you got them pants mended!! hee hee!! (just teasing you!). :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your glorious weather - we have windows open here & are about to go on a walk.
Wow! 200,000 people! That is amazing. Baby blankets . . . hmmmm . . . that does sound more fun than sewing jeans. The boys needed patches sewn on their Awana vests and that was before I had my machine out ...so I just super glued them on!!! How is that for lazy!
