The Perfect Baby Shower Gift


Jennifer's newest album is complete with magical lullabies to put any baby to sleep. You have to hear them for yourself. Samples are on her website.
May I suggest getting a few CD's and putting them away for baby showers or holiday gifts and of course, one for yourself.

Man Builds Noah's Ark

This working Replica of Noah's Ark opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands . The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened the first crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's only a replica of the Biblical Ark, built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.
The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house.

Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold.
A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.

Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy.
Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top - deck not quite ready in time for the opening - will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and chickens, and goats, and one camel.
Visitors on the first day were stunned. "It's past comprehension", said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to be bicycling by with her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape.
"I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big." There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where kids can watch a video that tells the story of Noah and his ark.
Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands, where church going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.
Now that I am old and Gray...give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all your mighty miracles. Psalm 71:18
With God all things are possible
Matthew 19:26

Good Bye Macys

After spending this past year working part-time and going round and round with my friend that I affectionately call Franny Fatigue, I've decided to take some time off and see if I can't get on top of these symptoms. I'm excited about it and it feels right. I've slept for two weeks and this weekend have emerged once again to participate in life. Yeah!

I plan on keeping a moderate pace for myself and then filling in my "getting better time" with some projects around the house, maybe I'll finish painting my bedroom...we'll see. The paint can is still sitting here on the floor ready to go. It's been staring at me since August. Gees.

It's going to be so nice to have enough umph to go to church regularly and even start up my yoga routine again, each one step at a time.

Of course, I'll pick up a day or two here and there to sub in the schools but my main focus will be to get healthy. It sounds so good to me. I'm hoping to have a disability hearing with in the next six months. I'd really like to start moving on with my life. It's the light at the end of the tunnel until I can figure something better out.
