Three Angels Haiti

If you have it on your heart to donate to help Haiti, I'd like to bring to your attention

I heard about this group on a radio news show, one of the newsmen happens to be connected to the group through his wife. The story he told of how the Orphanage began was heartbreaking. The short story; one of his wife's friends and two other ladies went to Haiti for a surprise visit to an orphanage to visit the child the friend was adopting. The child had been moved to another orphanage, they traveled to it and found the facility abandoned by the adults in charge, filled with filth and starving and dead babies. So horrible and sad.

Three angels has an orphanage, a school and a medical clinic.

If you don't know Timberdoodle, go visit, it's a must for homeschoolers, and even for non-homeschoolers...if you have children in your life, you will find fun and educational/fun gifts there.
I have to recommend their typing instructor program- very well done.

Clocky** the alarm clock with wheels, you are only able to hit snooze once, and then it jumps off your nightstand and runs around your room until you get up and turn it off.

I think she missed one, *The screen cleaner pro (cute videos of dogs licking your screen clean)

What must-have apps do you have?

New Year's resolutions

My New Year's resolution: I decided to keep it simple this year... A long, ambitious list of goals
that I don't meet is somehow really depressing to me. I figured this year, I'd go for short, but sincere...

Wag More, bark less.

and

"watch and pray" -Matthew 26:41

of course I have lots of intentions running around in my mind..we'll have to see how those pan out..

how about you? What are your resolutions this year?

Season's doings

Season's Greetings from sunny California!

Yes, I know...somehow this is just wrong!
...deck the palm trees just doesn't have that ring now, does it?

We've been sooooo busy here at Home, ...we kicked off the season's doings with Sky's family on Christmas Eve. Lots of family and friends (did I mention he comes from a large family?) and the highlight is always grandma's homemade tamales. Christmas day found us at home, with the Grandparents on my side of the family stopping by in the morning to exchange gifts.

For us, this season is centered on a yearly Bible Conference of sorts
- called The Winter Training. The best way to describe it is as a Bible conference, but more intense...kind of like a Bible college course stuffed into one week. We have about 4,000 people from all over the world attending. The goal is to host as many as possible in local homes...this year we had 8 people stay with us.

-The picture above is of a sign in the meeting with information on which radio stations to find the live language translations...still haven't figured out why we would need English translation
...maybe for those from England?? (since we butcher the Queen's English...)

We had old friends stay with us this year..they were from Washington state, Oregon, Boston and Texas. The topic this year for the conference was "The Gospel of God in Romans". Romans happens to be my all-time favorite book in the Bible, I was all happiness inside :) We have two meetings a day, about 2 hours long each and then each morning we have a Bible Study to go through all our notes from the previous night.
(you can see in the photo our off-time diversions, fooze-ball and wii!)

Then we eat a lot, too. It's busy, busy, busy.

The meetings ended the day after Christmas. So, things are just starting to wind down here for us, we only have 3 guests at our house still.

Thanks for visiting...

How was your holiday? All smiles, I hope!
