This morning I read in Judges 13. It told about an angel of the Lord coming to a couple. The angle told them they would have a son. That son would be Samson. While the mother was pregnant she had to be careful in her pregnancy. Judges says, `Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’ ” Samson would be a judge for Israel. He was known as the strong man in the Old Testament. He was also known for his downfall because of his lover Delilah.

I have just two more days of work. We’re working 10 hours of overtime on Friday. (yeah! extra money!) I need to start packing. I have some ironing to do as I pack. I made a list of everything I need to bring.
I’m going to traveling on Mother’s Day. This bother me some but we’ve figured out a plan. I watch an elderly lady on Saturday. Since I need to be at her house at 10am, we are going out for breakfast. IHOP in Tulsa sounds good. I’ve eaten there once several years ago. They have pancakes that have a cream cheese filling. That sounds good. After breakfast Danny is going to take our children to Wal-mart. They have some idea for gifts they would like to buy. Then he will pick me up around 6pm.

Mark Twain once said, I have never let schooling interfere with my education. This quote has a bit of ornriness. Twain obviously had a good understanding of ornriness because he wrote Tom Sawyer. While learning in a classroom, a child must have structure, productivity and the drive to fully complete assignments but he/she must also develop an underlying foundation for lifestyle learning. That is, a desire to learn knowledge each day of life.

Judges, Job and Acts. I have read from these books of the Bible this morning and discovered more about the man named Apollos who was aquainted with the famous apostle named Paul. I consider Apollos a coooooool guy.

Sometime (soon) when I become an official teacher of an official elementary classroom I want to have a serious underlying attitude that learning knowledge is serious business. And then, I want to use a bunch of creativity to make it enjoyable and fun. I have several educational websites I plan to go through. I know I can make these e-games into manipulatives for the classroom. I found a good free game to help students learn the states. I enjoyed playing it and I’ll bet you will too! (Admit it, you’re a kid at heart!!) The name of the game is The USA game.

Where does time go on a Sunday morning? I got up at 5:30 and didn’t even finish reading the Bible passages for the day. My husband got up at 5:00! Sunday mornings before our children get up are a time in which we talk about thoughts of interest that just pop in our head.

I found an interesting website via Mrs. Happy Housewife. It is named Postcrossing. There you can register and then send out a postcard to someone in another country and receive one back. It’s a great and inexpensive way to learn some of other countries and individuals who live there.

After lunch today, I went to the house our company is building with Habitat For Humanity. It’s a three bedroom house. It’s being built for a lady named Sarina. We put on siding. Jeremy, Mike and another guy (Sorry, I don’t know his name) climbed the ladders and I helped by handing them stuff. I also worked with Sherri. There has been alot of progress since it began being built.
