-: Jason:-
I've been reading "The Shack" (author: William P. Young) ... and won't endorse it yet; but, I've personally been encouraged by the raw hope and faith exhibited by the character/author.
We start our ball-room classes up next week - I have not practiced often (enough). Haven't quite worked out consistent recollection of the distinction between dances. It comes with time, I expect.
I'm looking forward to starting classes next week - last semester for my Bachelor's Degree!
I have been considering starting a web-comic.
And I just realized I've been getting phonemes and phenomes backward!
-: Ruth :-
Has been busy doing her fair amount of chores, t'toring, d'livering, b'keeping, and Petering.
Has been working on something of a secret project that I look forward to observing when she's through.
Has been mulling over the epilogue to a novel she wrote.
-: Peter :-
Seems SO CLOSE to speaking - he's been repeating his phonemes quite a bit. I expect he'll be a bit of a talker :D
He has been standing up in his portable crib, with help. Not quite strong enough to climb up there by himself, but getting there.
-: Praise Reports :-
1. Clan Miller stopped by last weekend to do what they do best - enhance!
It was amazing to see my house be transformed by God's grace and copious effort into a place where I can really see clearly the vision God has placed in my family's heart.
It is humbling to know how much I cannot do myself and how much simple trust and acceptance in Christ can transform ... EVERYTHING!
2. I finally got my grade for Programmable Logic Controllers: A!
I find all for of the classes resulted in praise resports this semester and seeing His hand in reconciling my efforts was a huge blessing.
It was only through hand of Christ Jesus that I was able to stay focused, learn so much, and grow as a student this past semester.
Well, I'm out - hope your walk is stronger now than ever before.
Leave a note if you'd like.

Change is
December 2008
Sooo much has changed since last I posted - here is some updates
(0)
Our walk with Christ has been changing - and I'm fighting to give God the glory.
The fact is that none of us can succeed without His presence within our lives. Fight to choose him!
(1)
We moved!
Before Pic:
After pic:
Before was a townhouse - we were sooo blessed by the corner lot. It gave us a little more room and made moving in and out a whole lot easier. Both pictures were taken from Google Maps, which explains the mower in the before-pic and the truck in the after-pic. Also - the trees suggested by the shading on the truck were also removed - so that place on our lot is quite bald!
The after home is a rancher - a little less room on a half-acre lot. Soo much room!!
God is so faithful!
(2)
Peter has been growing! He can almost walk - backward!
He has his own face-book page (link).
And he is a continual delight to the both of us.
(3)
I'm in the middle of my second semester at Thomas Edison State College (link).
It's been an interesting thing - to juggle work, school, baby, wife, and house. Almost sounds like a modified rock-paper-scissors game.
(4)
Ruth and I are participating in our own version of the Biggest Loser.
If you wish details, please ask us in person ... or we may have a blog up about it.
Last week was our first week and team Cooper lost 19 pounds!
(5)
Ruth and I have been taking ballroom dancing!
We've learned some steps from Foxtrot, Swing, Waltz, Rumba, Tango, and one other that does not come to mind at the moment.
Other than swing, they seem to all fall into variations of a kind of square dance.
Perhaps there is an alternation of quick to slow, maybe a bending of the knee, but the basic flow is almost identical to each.
... Maybe I need to practice more ... they're not properly differentiated to me yet. Still - it's been fun and great exercise!
(6)
I continue to misspell practice and presence.
Hopefully I'll now get them right:
both end in "C" and that'll be enough for me.
(7)
I learned that FreeRice.com (link) has more settings than simply vocabulary.
This is a site that I thought initially held only vocabulary words - until I realized there are other options. It's a cyclic quizzing site and correct answers reward "the hungry with rice" (see site for details - it is interesting nonetheless) and found that correct answers can be in English vocabulary, English grammar, countries of the world, works of art, and really - not a profoundly large smattering, but enough that I think a visit to the site is worth a mention.

Well that's enough - hopefully I can get into the habit of sharing once a week
and last, and certainly least:
Here are the top 10 ways to amuse a geek
1. Make a list of the top 10 ways to amuse a geek.
2. Use binary.
May the holidays draw you closer to Christ!
