School visit

Yesterday was one of those days I loved being a teacher. I took my class to a nearby elementary school where they told second, third, and fourth grade students about their home country. My students were nervous about speaking with the children, but by the end of the hour I could barely drag a couple of them away. They had a blast and asked to go to the high school next week. 

Shop

Sometimes the wise man does build his shop upon the sand. Though, in this case, the wise man plans to pour rock (concrete) on top of the sand. 

The boys continue with their preparations to erect a pole building. They have big plans for the building, which will serve as a machine shop. 

Patience

Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. James 5:7 NIV

Patience is a difficult virtue to practice when a nine-hour car ride stretches to twelve.

7:08 AM

Betsy and I slipped over to the Cookie house (Julie and my house) around 6:30 Wednesday morning. We applied the last coat of finish to the kitchen and dining room floors before our family headed south to visit relatives in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I wanna see

Hosanna

Freedom

No hose today. We're on holiday.

(For you teachers who have a half-day today, I recommend knee highs)
