The Buzz Around Me

Slurping. Folks are munching on watermelon at the table near me. This is the sort of thing you plan before you mop the floor.

Kitchen Happenings

I'm off of meal duty for a few weeks. The kiddos are making all the meals for a while so I have more time to work on extra projects. The Boys have breakfast and lunch duty (think Vitamix for breakfast and leftovers for lunch). The Big Girls (15 and 14) are taking turns making dinners - they cook as well as I do.

In Our Schoolroom

We have decided to take the Summer off of official school work!!!!!!! I am working on lesson plans instead.

The Garden View

I rented out our garden plot to the children. Whatever is growing is completely by their own doing. I am having the benefit of buying from them fresh organic produce, and they are earning back their rent money. All this with no nagging to get help in the garden...what's not to love?

In The Sewing Room

I just learned a groovy new trick for patching jeans! Rip out the outside pants leg seam to patch them, then sew it back up again when the patching is done. The timing is perfect, because Mr. Visionary just gave me some for my mending pile. Sigh. All in due time...

Home-keeping Agenda

I'm using the Summer off school to get things organized again. Closets, clothes, cabinets, nothing is sacred. I feel like I haven't really had decent order since the Twinnage (cute as they are) arrived.

Simple Joys

Mr. Visionary coming home in time for dinner. I had almost forgotten what he looked like in daylight.

My 2010 Goals

Well...my hopes anyway


~Do something with my guitar that's collecting dust...like maybe learn to play it.

~Save up enough money and get the bus ready enough to go to Family Week 2010 with the Wallers.

~Be at least 90% faithful to investing my morning quiet time praying and studying YHWH's Word.

~Do 3 good deeds and right 3 wrongs each week. I got this idea from First Fruits of Zion, and it is such a neat way to keep my focus outside of myself.

~Keep a hand-written journal.

~Be faithful to what we have learned from Dave Ramsey, and use a zero balance budget every month.

~Come up with two small ways to make side income to help my children learn to run a business.

~Begin building traditions, recipe files, scrapbooks, etc. for our family's celebrations of the Biblical feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.

~Be outside at least some every single day.

    • Sweet Home Jerusalem

    This will not appeal to everyone, but then again, neither do I, so it works to post it here. As a Southern girl, and one who prays for the peace of Jerusalem, this really hit the spot. Who knew a Skynyrd tune could be redeemed in such a cool way? I like it. HT: Lillian

    Lyrics (to the tune of Sweet Home Alabama):

    Eagles wings keep on flyin’
    Carry me home to see The King
    Singing songs about my City,
    Jerusalem you’re in my dreams
    And I’m gonna sing, yes. (RIFF)

    Well I heard the UN talk about her
    But a Jewish boy won’t drink this brew
    Uncle Sam please remember, that
    “Jerusalem won’t be split in two!”

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    We’re all waiting for Mashiach (OOH OOH OOH)
    You can bet he’s coming soon
    We’ll all be dancing in Jerusalem
    And we’ll all be singing the same tune
    Now that’s the truth

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    (SOLOS)


    The wise men of the Holy City
    They’ve been known to pick a song or two
    They help my soul when I’m hurting
    They give me joy when I’m feeling blue
    Now how about you?

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    Here are two sights I thought you might find interesting.
    The first one is about promoting understanding between the Jews and the Muslims which might come in handy to share the gospel or understanding the conflicts

    This one is The Middle East Radio Forum.
