Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
This verse has been the most challenging for us so far. But it marks the halfway point! Keep up the good work! Psalm 100:3 "Know ye that the Lord He is God. It is He that hath made us and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture." We would […]
Welcome back! During their visit, the Altizer boys have been engrafting this chapter of scripture with us! Everyone is invited to memorize or review this passage with us. Just let us know in a comment. Here is the visual for the second verse. Psalm 100:2 "Serve the Lord with gladness, come before his presence with […]
What a fun, full, action-packed week! It has been a blessing to have the four Altizer boys, Joshua (7), Caleb (4), Jonathan (3) and David (3) come for a visit. This time for 12 days; a little longer than their first visit Each morning we have spent some time memorizing Psalm 100. What an uplifting […]
I really like mushrooms so one day I decided to grow them. First we decided where to buy them. We bought them from Jung Seed And Nursery in Michigan. When they first came we watered them and made sure all the soil was wet. After that we set them in a warm dark closet for […]
Recently I took a trip to Tuttle, OK with some friends to visit the Braum’s Farm. I was amazed at the quality in every step of the dairy producing process. They start by growing crops to feed their cows in the healthiest, hormone-free way. Because the milking is done right next to the processing plant, the products can be made, packaged and […]
Jonathan and I got a great idea to make two boats that we could sail on our pond. First we got two boards from Dad that he couldn’t use any more and cut the front of them to a point. We hunted in the woods for some perfectly straight sticks for the mast. Then we […]
Along with Easter, springtime is here and I’ve found an excellent method for successful spring birding here in Taiwan. Get up early. Stand on back porch. Look around. Actually it reminds me of some of the first sightings I ever made, at home, from the kitchen window. It was like a photo blind! Birds would […]
We love playing in the snow. We tried to think of something we could do in this snow even though it wasn’t deep enough to go sledding or packable enough to build anything. I really wanted to go outside for some fresh air so David and I got an idea to make a zoo! We […]
Praise God that He cares about little questions like this! With the deadlines for new lesson plans, I was studying late and still needing to be up early. This makes for a pretty tired Miss Esther. The whole process of asking God what to teach the children and how to explain it effectively keeps one in […]
David Waller and I enjoyed spending the month of January at the beautiful Northwoods Conference Center in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Jensen family was very hospitable during our stay. With Mrs. Jensen’s fine cooking and Mr. Jensen’s entertaining stories, we spent many enjoyable evenings together. Our fun adventures included the opportunity to go […]
