BRF: Second Peter
Posted by: heidiheidiheidi on: October 25, 2007
OK, I’m really behind here, but I read 2 Peter and I want to post about it too!
First of all, I found another of my favorite verses: chapter 1, verses 3&4. We have everything we need for life and godliness! I tend to get frustrated in my pursuit of holiness, and this verse is very [...]
WFMW: Cures for tummy troubles
Posted by: heidiheidiheidi on: October 24, 2007
Yesterday I caught the stomach bug that’s been going around, and I’ve been living on ginger ale and crackers ever since, with a little jello for variety. So I thought I’d share all my tricks for making nausea and diarrhea go away.
First, for settling things down, whether it’s nausea or cramping further down, your best [...]
Homeschooling update

I did indeed manage to push the button on Amazon last Thursday. I ordered Spell to Read and Write by Wanda Sanseri, which is based on the older Writing Road to Reading, by Romalda Spalding. I read lots of reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, and as usual, I found the negative reviews to be the [...]
Works For Me Wednesday: The Lazy Way
Posted by: heidiheidiheidi on: October 19, 2007
Sometime in my late twenties, I became a convert to doing things the lazy way – you know, do as little as you can get away with on the things that don’t matter so much, so you have more time for what does matter. And this was before I even had kids. (Now I’ll give [...]
Freaked out over nothing, I think
Posted by: heidiheidiheidi on: October 18, 2007
I’m trying to bring myself to push the “Proceed to checkout” button on Amazon, and it’s not working very well. I’m supposed to be ordering our very first homeschooling purchase. I have researched, online and off. I have thought about whether this is a good program for my child, not just a good program in [...]
The dumbest movie I’ve seen in a long time
Posted by: heidiheidiheidi on: October 14, 2007
Friends With Money. I spent the whole movie waiting for something to happen, and it never did. I’m still trying to figure out what the point of it was. The point may have been that money won’t make you happy, but that strikes me as both obvious and something you won’t hear from Hollywood. Beyond [...]
Random question of the day

What would we know by now, if scientists hadn’t been assuming the truth of evolution and the non-existence of God for the last 150 years?
BRF: First Peter
Posted by: heidiheidiheidi on: October 12, 2007
I didn’t have time to read 1 Peter as many times as I was supposed to, but here’s some of what I think about it. First of all, Nero was Emperor until 68 A.D., and 1 Peter was written in 65 A.D. according to the notes in my Bible. So the suffering Peter was talking [...]

OK, I keep reading about Twitter, and I hate not knowing what stuff is about, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia, it is “a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” (text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) via SMS, instant messaging, email, to the Twitter website, or [...]
