A great devotional

http://www.byub.org/edweek/2003/asx/lscoresby.asx

I just saw this on byutv and had to share. It was by Lynn Scoresby and the title is Family Leadership.

He talks about the problem then discipline cycle and compares it with how Christ teaches us. It was wonderful and I'm going to listen to it with my hubby, then work on his ideas with the family.

HA, another Sadie addict!

Today my husband was whistling while doing the dishes...guess what he was whistling? Sadie the cleaning lady!
He was very embarrassed when I caught him and told him what song it was.

A funny comic


Sorry so tiny...click on the picture to make it bigger. I don't know why I couldn't get it large on this post.

It says, " I asked my parents if I could be homeschooled-like Whoopi Goldberg, Gloria Steinem and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Y'Know, Learn at my pace in my space

Yeah, and?

They said I'd miss the benefits of social interaction

There are benefits?

So they say

My favorite Bible verse

This is my family on my mom's side...we were taking pictures and I wanted them to sing their song.

beware of the homeschoolers

Not so funny as others but worthy of a short post...

My Saturday morning goals

The two things from Saturday morning conference that I'd like to work
on are Simplicity: food, water, shelter, the basics. I don't want
"stuff" cause it messes up my life.
I realize when I keep it simple how much better life is, how much more
we can focus on family.
Usually for conference we do big meals, fun treats, and I'm stressed
out. I decided I didn't have time for that this morning and just made
my usual great big batch of bread. (It also contains bean flour for a
complete protein so don't worry, I'm not starving anyone).
For breakfast we had bread and butter and for lunch we had......bread
and butter! LOL. It was one of the best conferences. I could just
sit and listen and not worry about anything I had to do.

and...behavior at church, reverence in Sacrament meeting. We've
fallen into the bad habit of going out with the baby and taking the
youngest with us. Then he quietly plays around. Not extremes or
anything but enough that we forget the sacred nature of the sacrament.
I don't know quite how but I'd like to work on that also.

Hey, it worked!



This is just a test cause a friend said to just copy the html here and the video would show up...lets see...YAY! Now you can all watch my favorite video to start the day.

burglery! Glad we got the dog

Well, there was an aggravated burglary across the field and the description matches the guy that was behind our barn. Glad we got the dog!
