For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20

Hubby took some photos of the thunderstorm last night from our front porch. I am amazed more and more at God's wonderful and powerful creation. Having spent the better part of a year in detailed study of molecules, cells, human anatomy and now the design of mathematics I find it hard to believe that anyone could truly believe it all ' just happened' (evolution.)

God's universe speaks of his attributes. The singular universe is composed of three elements: space, time & matter. Space is a tri-unity composed of width, depth & height. Time is a tri-unity of past, present and future. Matter is a tri-unity of solid, liquid and gas. We are one person made up of three parts, a body, a soul, a spirit. The atom is composed of protons, neutrons & electrons. This phenomenon of one entity that is divided into three parts goes all the way through creation and screams of the special Trinitarian God of the Bible. ( from the Evolution of a Creationist by Jobe Martin)

Teaching my children that evolution is only a theory (the fact is it's never been proven) and teaching them that creation science is real science (not make believe conjured up by desperate Christians) is one of the backbone reasons that I am choosing to home school. How can our children possibly defend their faith in the Bible as the solid word of God if they are taught in public schools for years that so much of what is written in the Bible about the creation of the world and man is false? I have been shocked at how much evidence that contradicts evolution has been left out, covered up and willfully kept out of textbooks that our children are given. There really is an agenda being carried out, and christian parents must make it a priority to educate themselves about what's really going on in our schools and colleges.

Sometimes the best laid plans.....
See all the plans in my previous post? Well they came to a screeching halt the next day when Z broke his leg while at the 4th of July parade. We spent the weekend at children's hospital, going through surgery, managing diabetes pre and post op. Came home Monday but he has continued to feel bad, run high blood sugars and run fever off/ on, today reaching 101.3 so off we went to our ped where he was dx with strep throat! How I hope the antibiotics take care of this and the fever and he is not getting an infection in his leg. So no church camp for us, diabetes camp is more than likely out also. He is so down hearted right now. Last night he told me this "mom, I am going to cry for a little while, but its not because my leg hurts, ok" I said "ok sweetheart" and I lay in bed and listened to my son sob, as quietly as he could under the covers, not from pain but from the limits he is facing right now. It broke my heart and I wished It would have been me. I know that I need to remember my blessings right now and I do have many, but I am having such a wonderful pity party for us right now... prayerfully Lisa

Summer is certainly in full swing, our garden is providing a few yummy squash every day.The tomatoes are really starting to produce and within a day or two I plan to make a pan of fried green tomatoes. ( we all love them) Today I picked several cucumbers and I plan to make a jar of pickles with them. I had one mess of green beans but they just haven't done well and I doubt I will get any more. I have never been able to get a good harvest from my green beans or peas? I plan to try a fall crop and see if I get better results. We are getting a few peppers now also. These photos are how the garden looks now.

I am happy to be finished with my first summer math course, I will start the second course on Tuesday of next week. Church camp begins Monday, this is the first year Z gets to go (since it's not the same week as diabetes camp this year.) I will be going to camp to keep an eye on his blood sugars and be a cabin "mom'. I will have to leave each day to go to class but I can return every afternoon. Then diabetes camp starts the 12th, Z always has a great time & looks forward to going each year.

Autumn is working hard on her treatment plan and could possibly be coming home before the end of summer. I am planning on picking her up while I'm in little rock on the 12th, for a 3 day pass. She has grown up a bit & is showing a little more maturity. Praise be to God.

I would like to find time to spend a day at the lake with the kids, have a yard sale, plant a flower bed.... oh well, Happy 4th everyone! God bless.
