• Back in Business… Now to Review

  Date: 2009.06.26 | Category: Gerneral, Preschool, Youth Ministry and Discipleship | Response: 0

  I have uploaded a new “Theme” and now my site is back in business. Please comment if you have any trouble accessing/loading this site.

  Now for reviews:
  1. on my blogroll you will see a link for “olive plants”. If you are homeschooling I would highly recommend that you follow this blog. My friend Dawn does an excellent job helping “newbies” like myself get organized and started. I just want to say thanks for the link to the forms, Dawn! Please Keep Posting!

  2. Creation Museum. Totally awesome. Must See. http://creationmuseum.org/whats-here/exhibits/
  I don’t know what I was expecting. I certainly wasn’t expecting a little rusty trailer or uninsulated warehouse with some curling posters on the wall. But I also wasn’t expecting to be “Wowed” with the high quality animatronics; digital video; “awesome, interesting and really cool” planetarium (quotes from the twins during the presentation); Noah’s Ark decorated restaurant; beautifully maintained gardens; bibliophile’s dream for a bookstore; and pristine restrooms. We arrived at 10:30 am and left at 1:45 pm and I felt completely rushed. We allowed the children to keep the pace since we also had a deadline on the back end of the visit. I would recommend a full day devoted to this museum. It is completely worth the money. If your children are older, then go ahead and purchase the 2 day pass. Really.

  3. KOA Louisville South. Clean. Quiet. Family Oriented. Working AC in 90+ degree weather. Good slushies (which were free with our “deal”). I actually had fun Kamping in a Kabin. The beds weren’t painful. The kids had fun. We loved the bouncing pillow, the pool, and cooking over the campfire. Rob did a great job making sure I didn’t have to do “too much work.” Thanks, my dear Prince, for making Kamping Fun!

• Lying

  Date: 2007.08.15 | Category: Youth Ministry and Discipleship | Response: 0

  Lying is bad for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s one of the seven things that God hates. See Proverbs 6.16-19.

  Secondly, when someone lies to you, you feel you no longer can trust them.

  It’s like this:

  You have a Styrofoam cup full of hot tea. The Styrofoam cup represents trust. The tea represents the relationship. Every time you lie, it’s like tearing off a piece of the Styrofoam cup. Pretty soon, you have no cup left, and the tea is everywhere, and you have a big mess. Lying is just like that. You lie to your friends or your parents and you rip off a piece of the cup. They begin to distrust you. Soon, you don’t understand why you don’t have any real friends and why your parents no longer trust you. It’s because you don’t have a cup. the habit of lying chipped away at the trust in the relationship.

  And it’s not like you can glue a Styrofoam cup back together and have it hold hot tea again.
