Changing churches

I have definitely decided to switch churches. I will now be attending Northern Lights Church of Christ. This is a non-denominational church (not affiliated with the United Church of Christ) in downtown Fairbanks.
I went to the old one again Sunday morning and it was as I feared. The message, while Biblical, was shallow and general [...]

Woe to us

I’m in the book of Isaih for my Bible reading. This afternoon, I was reading Isaiah 5 and was struck with all the things mentioned. It sounded like he was describing the current state of our nation, specifically in verses 20-23.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, [...]

Math is here

Richard’s math arrived today. Good timing because we do math on Tuesday’s and Thursdays so we can start tomorrow. He actually watched the first lesson video tonight and seemed to understand it.
He’s doing Math-U-See Gama which covers multiplication. He’s had a vague idea of what multiplication was, but this first lesson explained it well. The [...]

Priorities

What’s important and in what order are your priorities. They can be general for your life or specific to a task or goal. Having priorities is important because it gives you direction. They shows others what’s important to you.
Where does God fit in your priorities? Are you a casual Christian where Jesus is important [...]

Probably changing churches

Without going into too many details for those who know me and read this, I am considering changing churches. I have been ever since the current one got their new pastor last summer. I just didn’t like any other churches I had visited better. Some were too far away. Some were too large and impersonal. [...]

New dress fabric

When I was in WalMart this evening I browsed their cheap fabric and found a cute, middle weight, cotton print. It’s small checkers of dusty rose color on a pink background with dime sized blue flowers on dark green stems. I thought it would be good fall/winter print. I got 4 yards for less than [...]

2009 homeschool week 1

Today ends our first week of 2009-2010 homeschool year. It had its ups and downs as expected.
Karen did the first 6 lessons of Learning to Read. She learned letters d, s, m, f, and short a. It was hard for her to learn to listen for sounds in words but by the end of the [...]

Dress is finished

Tonight I finally finished the dress I’ve been making for my daughter. It’s faded blue with darker blue paisley. Since we’re now heading into fall (the forecast for this upcoming week is lows in the low 40’s and highs in the upper 50’s), I decided to make it long sleeve instead of short with a [...]

Updated blogroll

I updated my blogroll this morning. I added 4 new links. 3 are homeschool blogs I’ve been visiting. They have some great ideas and perspectives. The fourth is in the fitness category although she homeschools as well. Welcome to Mama’s Weeds, Learning As I Go, Homeschooling Adventures, and Bean’s Life.
I’ve unfortunately had to remove 2 [...]

Fitness update 2009 #14

This week was awful. We ate out a lot. I was rushed everywhere and didn’t take time for myself. It was extremely smoky outside from the more than half million acre forest fire burning less than 30 miles away.
We’re starting homeschool Monday. This means I need to set aside a specific time again to exercise [...]
