The 8th Grade

Sorry no recent posts. Busy, busy, busy. Myles went back to school today! The 8th grade, I can't believe it. His finger is doing OK but it seems to want to curl up again. Lots of therapy will be needed on this little booger. I was explaining to bugs last night that four months ago, therapy took over four hours. His hands, arms, shoulders, stomach and back all needed therapy for the graphs to grow right. His little finger should be a snap.
I wasn't to sure of how I was going to do today. I have not had a day to myself in so long I can't even remember. I wasn't sure if I was going to fall on the floor and finally really cry or dance naked on the tables in celebration of normalcy. Well I'm not doing either. Mamma (our other goat) went into labor at four am yesterday. She had a real hard time so after six hours of labor we took her into the vet and they had to perform a c-section on her. One of the babies was still born and the other survived. We brought them both home yesterday (to my surprise) and mamma wouldn't have anything to do with her little girl (we named her Hope). So guess what I'm doing today, bottle feeding every two hours even through the night! It's hard to dance on the tables when you have a little goat watching you who thinks that you are her mom. She is adorable though and worth it all. Will post how Myles' first day back at school was.

Simplify Your Faith
Thursday, August 23, 2007
“You have only one Master, the Christ.”
Matthew 23: 10

There are some who position themselves between you and God. There are some who suggest the only way to get to God is through them. There is the great teacher who has the final word on Bible teaching. There is the father who must bless your acts. There is the spiritual master who will tell you what God wants you to do. Jesus’ message for complicated religion is to remove these middlemen. “You have only one Master, the Christ.”

He’s not saying that you don’t need teachers, elders or counselors. He is saying however, that we are all brothers and sisters and have equal access to the Father. Simplify your faith by seeking God for yourself. No confusing ceremonies necessary. No mysterious rituals required. No elaborate channels of command or levels of access.

You have a Bible? You can study. You have heart? You can pray. You have a mind? You can think.

AMEN!!!

WOW Sherry, You've got a whole farm going on. Can't wait to see more pictures. Myles, keep working buddy! I know it's hard and frustrating, but I know you can do it, I continue to pray for strength, and courage in all you do. Enjoy school, and learn a LOT. Much love, and continued prayers!
