New Zealand will be blessed with your return. We have just moved to WA (Perth) to re-enter Christian education at John Calvin Christian College. <br />Over time we have kept pretty much up to date with how you have been faring through heit and mem. The Lord continue to bless you and help you to be a blessing as you enter in to the ministry. <br />Uncle Herm, Auntie Lammyethicalissuesunderthemagnifyingglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916753933682639919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-59664411008467570692015-03-21T07:57:07.555+13:002015-03-21T07:57:07.555+13:00My list would look very similar to yours, except t...My list would look very similar to yours, except that I actually enjoy homeschooling. :-)<br /><br />My big question is: what will be the non-negotiable items you'll be stuffing in your suitcases to take home?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383253202750475851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-89738243563692997192015-02-10T11:16:40.922+13:002015-02-10T11:16:40.922+13:00Happy to see you enjoying the pinata cake!Happy to see you enjoying the pinata cake!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383253202750475851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-77867845686185169832014-11-06T12:05:57.097+13:002014-11-06T12:05:57.097+13:00send my love to michaela! i miss you all!

The body language and facial expression is particularly interesting. I know it helps me a lot when in church to see the minister use his hands and face to bring to life the sermon and it makes it more real and helps to bring points across better. I've listened to one of your sermons so far, and your excitement about your judges sermon makes me eager to listen to that one!<br /><br />In the grip of Gods mercy and grace,<br /><br />TJ.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756714368548027700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-37399249641930747072013-05-27T14:53:43.904+12:002013-05-27T14:53:43.904+12:00Hi!

But I'm glad you see the positives too. My favourite was reading and learning along with our children at the various stages that we did a little homeschooling.<br />And from my perspective, getting up at 4:00 to go swimming shows a huge amount of self-discipline.Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256598478755347493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-84623101371038631512013-03-19T07:36:17.886+13:002013-03-19T07:36:17.886+13:00Sonlight uses "I Heard the Good News Today&qu...Sonlight uses "I Heard the Good News Today" for 1st Grade (Kate's age) history. Not technically 'church history' as such but I've been very impressed with the book. It tells true stories of the "Good News" in missionary settings, from Europe, India to America and places in between. We read a chapter or two most weeks. <br />http://www.amazon.com/dp/0873030737/?tag=mh0b-20&hvadid=1464611948&ref=pd_sl_5tzphrh44b_eHannekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812006246438927662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-46874261241756680592013-03-19T05:58:42.916+13:002013-03-19T05:58:42.916+13:00Hi Hanneke!

Of course, I never get it at that price. It is usually on 'special' for about $3.<br /><br />Going the wrong way: once back in the 1980s I managed to go the wrong way on the Wellington Basin. There happened to be no traffic visible when I made the wrong turn. I was definitely not used to city road layouts here (guess who usually did the driving), but I was picking up my sister from the States who was visiting. We both got a fright as traffic headed towards us around the curve. All's well that ends well; I pulled off on the berm and soon turned around.Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256598478755347493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305136735877987459.post-23832555968727002962012-11-19T21:48:50.758+13:002012-11-19T21:48:50.758+13:00I didn't take to pumpkin pie right away, eithe...I didn't take to pumpkin pie right away, either, but love it now.
