School in Progress

I wanted to update you on my classes and answered prayer. As you have probably read I have 2 hours of Grammar and 2 hours of Language this trimester. Last trimester in my grammar class I had a Great teacher, but one thing that was really hard for me was the amount of homework I was given. The practice is always really good, but it was really hard to finish all the homework and still maintain home life. However this trimester praise the Lord I have much less homework. And as a result I am able to spend more quality time with the girls in the afternoons.

Another praise is that I am understanding things much more quickly and easily this trimester. I know the only way to explain this is people are praying and God is answering. Thank you for those of you have prayed. The difference of this trimester from last not only benefits me, it benefits Ryan and the girls and most importantly my relationship with the Lord. Thank you again for praying.

David and Golaith

Avigail, Ella and I were talking about the David and Golaith and like most kids they are very familiar with theVeggieTales version. I said, "now you do know that Golaith was not really a Pickle, and Avigail intelligiently said, "of course I know that"....pause, pause. During this pause, I am thinking phew we have not influenced our children into thinking Golaith was a giant pickle. When all of a sudden Avigail says, "he was a cucumber." My side still hurts from laughing so hard.
