vacation

God has been very good to us during our past 2 days here in Michigan. Yesterday my son Isaiah jumped in the pool in 8' deep without his floaties on. I jumped in after him since my wife and the girls had went somewhere else. I jumped in and saved him. He coughed a little water and was okay. Today my youngest son Zachary was walking on the sidewalk and fell on his front 2 teeth and chipped them both. I am praiseful they both did not fall out. My son Isaiah lost his 2 bottom teeth at about the same age due to that. We are now going to go camping. Hopefully all goes well.

The Chicago Cubs

Last night after getting home from work about 10:35pm I saw that the Cubs were winning on the news in the 9th inning 5 to 4 or something like that and then I turned the TV to the game and the Cubs were already losing again in the 9th inning like 7 to 4 or something like that. It is hard to watch them. They have lost like 8 games in a row and show no signs of doing well even though Mark Pryor, Kerry Wood, and Derek Lee are back in the lineup. I think they should keep Dusty Baker though. I always will be a Cubs fan because one of these years they will go all the way, hopefully different than the 2003 year.

Israel

I have been noticing in the Journal and Courier paper, jconline.com, that people have been writing in saying things that Israel stole their land. According to the Bible, Israel was given its land by God. You can read about it in Genesis. Also King David ruled from Jerusalem. It is to bad that people cannot accept that. Thankfully God offers salvation to all through Jesus. I am thankful that Israel is a nation again. To get news regarding Israel go to: christianactionforisrael.org. Read Zechariah 14:3-4 about the Lord coming back to mount of Olives.

Babylon

Chapter 18 and 17 in Revelation talks about Babylon. In the Old Testament I cannot remember where at exactly, it says that Babylon will never be inhabited again. My guess is that the Bablyon mentioned in Revelation 18:21 is meaning another place than the original Bablyonian empire. Let me know what insights anyone might have on this.

Ant farm update

The ants all died. They only lasted a few weeks I think. The died about Memorial Day. I am disappointed that they didn't last long. I fed them an apple one time and they ate that. We then put a Cheerio inside and it got moldy. I am thinking about finding some wild ants or maybe we will order more ants. I would love to hear other stories about peoples ants.

warming up, the plants are growing

It is starting to warm up and I can tell when I look at the garden. The one watermelon plant is really growing good. We have already picked some lettuce to eat and spinach. The garden is growing pretty good I think. The weather determines a lot and keeping bugs away from it. The summer is ready to start. The schools are over. My children's school is done also. The major league baseball season is well underway. Again the Cubs are off to a disappointing start. I am looking forward to the summer for the most part.
