They read Chronicles of Narnia at my niece's preschool. She is four and she loved it. My sister was impressed when they went to the movie that she already knew who all of the characters were. That's so cool! I'm already convinced that this series should be introduced to every child. I'm sorry I missed them
Sounds like fun. I've never read CON either... Oh, Marcie... you should pick them up. I bet you'd love them!! And I think they'd be perfect for your first graders, although I don't know about the ESL children. I think if read with enough inflection and drama, they'd probably do fine. <img src="http://images.
So sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. Kids are so resilient. It's great they have both of you to turn to. My children are VERY blessed. My husband, although not the biological father of my two girls, loves them as if they were his very own. Blessed indeed. Thank you. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width
Fighting, when there is null chance (Not zero, because zero exists. A null chance does not exist at all) of winning - that is lunacy. Who says there is no chance? Faced with the option of going alone, perhaps the woman will reconsider the decision to abort. I don't think this is all about going through court
Letterman, on the other hand, sounded like an ignorant twit. Exactly. Emphasis on the "ignorant." Letterman needs to stick to his light hearted late night comedy and stay out
SHHHHH. I don't want to say that too much because I will feel the utter fool when I am on here asking about how to find a good dog! I won't hold it against ya. It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, right? And I promise I'll never use the words "cave" in reference to the arrival of your new puppy. <i
I can say that because I didn't read the Chronicles until I was an adult. I read Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters and some other great works and thought I'd give Narnia a whirl. This is me! I read Mere Christianity first (loved it), Screwtape Letters next (ok, but not as good as MC) and decided it wa
Wow. Tough stuff... this seems to be an issue that cuts very close to home in different ways for many different people. I'm with you, Tova... Here is my view. Abortion is wrong. I am not for killing a baby because two adults screwed up. I think personal responsibility is important and killing an innocent t
These were my son's exact words as I tried to convince him that he would love the book I was going to read him. He refused to believe that MY choice of reading could possibly be something he would enjoy, particularly since it didn't contain pictures. He fussed and fidgited (however you spell that), his voice escalating with each protest. He grew so loud and impertine
Taking on Mandarin is quite a task, even if you only learned a few words. I can't imagine me trying to wrap my tongue around the language, although it's intriguing enough to want to learn, but totally unecessary for me to. You're welcome and ty! <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl
P.S. Number 7 was SUPPOSED to say I'll finally get a washing MACHINE!!! NOT a washing......alright that's enough laffing, LMBO... I WAS laughing! I predict... Ariel Sharon will not live to see 2007. The Middle East peace pro
(((((((((((((Doc)))))))))))))) What a horrible way to begin the new year. I'm sorry for your loss, and for the loss of so many people who held this entire family dear to their hearts. I wondered why you'd been so quiet over the weekend and beginning of this week... had been missing you. Perhaps now I know. Again, I'm so sorry.
HC...I am glad to hear the surgery went well.Sorry about your pet. Seems a lot of JUers are losing pets lately.Is your husband sleeping better now? Hey! I still owe you an email... haven't forgotten, I promise! I've been much busier than I anticipated being. I thought that after the surgery Joel would have t
we're in the same house, silly. I still wish you a happy new year... ((((((((((((J)))))))))))))) and... that
Too funny! I almost did a blog with a list of such phrases myself... now I don't have to! Here's mine... both heard ad nauseum on The Apprentice: "What I bring to the table" and "At the end of the day..." So sick of BOTH of those!
accaughtt caught in the act Hijacking. Good Job! <
Thanks for a touching Christmas tail -- oops... I mean, TALE. What a truly thoughtful gift. I'm sure your wife was moved... she's blessed to have you, as is JU. All the best in 2006... ~Heather
"To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me." Reminds me of something... Saint Augustine was walking the seashore one day, pondering the majesty of God. He saw a small boy who had dug a hole in the sand. The boy kept rushing down to the ocean, scooping up water in a seashell, and th
From a missionary worker in China: "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith
We had to put our dog down a couple months ago, and it was so hard. But, when they are in pain, sometimes its the best you can do for them. Being that your dog was fairly large and lived to be 15 is great on its own. Yes. He had a long full life, and was loved beyond measure. Can't ask for more than that.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a pet is very hard to deal with. Wishing your husband a speedy and comfortable as possible recovery. Sounds like he went through a lot; poor guy. Thank you, jenny... he sure did.
I am so sorry about your dog. I like the fact that you are still so grateful for everything else in your life, despite this sad time. Here is hoping this new year brings happiness and healing for you and your family. Thanks, Inbloom... and it's not so difficult to find things to be grateful for. God has been
We are so glad to hear Joel is doing well. I'm sure God is hearing all our prayers on his behalf. What would we do without that huh? I'm sure he'll be his old self soon..... Thanks... he's already his old self. I keep yelling at him to relax. He's been in the basement working on computers all morning. He hin
I will absolutely say prayers for your husband, and also for the healing of your hearts about the doggy.You've got a great family, God Bless you Thank you, Trudy. That's very sweet of you... and I appreciate it.
Sounds like a wonderful couple of years. Aah. Nostalgia.
