James 1:27
Where do you get a Water Buffalo and why would you want one? Well I wouldn’t actually have it, if you bought one for me (or anyone else) through Gospel for Asia, a needy family would have guaranteed food and income.

Natasha's Sculpture
I first heard of this today at Peasoup who heard of it from Simple Sparrow.
This is my entry for today-Natasha’s Sculpture of Mandarins, Tangellos and Oranges.
I think for Favourites Friday I’ll post my four favourite flowers. Now flowers for me MUST be in a natural environment, NOT picked - they just look like they are dying to me when they’re picked.
4th - Gerbera (Bright orange)
3rd - Iris (Dutch, purple)
2nd - Rose (pale apricot or pink )
1st - Lavender (White or Purple)
Yes I said CD player. I’m one of the few who doesn’t own, nor intend to own a digital music player. I like my tapes, records and CDs.
My faves at the moment are (in no particular order).
Steven Curtis Chapman - All Things New
Pillar - For the Love of the Game
Casting Crowns - Lifesong
Vivaldi - Four Seasons
As you can see I have a varied taste in music from classical to alternative heavy metal, so if you’re into music and like to be surprised, keep an eye on here. (oh and I have no idea who would be in the top 10 over the past 10 years, so if it’s “popular” music you’re into, don’t bother!!! lol)
Notice the blanket I just finished in the background too. I started it last year usuing up old scraps of wool from other projects, the finished result is old fashioned with new fashion colours! I like it and it’s warm on my chair.
I guess my life isn’t boring. I just assume it is compared to others. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my life and am so content where we are as a family (physically and otherwise). I think I need to remember to see the special in the daily things again. Something in the past that has brought me closer to God. When I thank Him for EVERYTHING, it all seems special - because it is.
Today was another productive day, I got up around 9am again. I’ve been getting to bed pretty late compared to my usual and so have been sleeping in. I have stopped worrying about being up “late” because we live such a casual lifestyle that it doesn’t matter when we get up. No one will be late for anything! The girls seem less stressed, Dave seems less stressed and I am definately less stressed. We are so laid back we’re almost horizontal! The important thing is that we get everything done that we want to - meals, school, housework, feeding animals, hobbies, exercise, quiet times, family times, getting out and about, errands, and socialising.
The “schoolwork” (I wish there was another word for it) was again at about 11ish but there were some different things we got done. A science experiment involving a candle water and a coin. Some bible study involving Zacharias, Elizabeth and John (see Luke 1:5-25). Lots of free play for the girls when they’d finished.
Dave suggested we get out of the house this afternoon, so we went to the dam to see how high it was after the recent spattering of rain. We took Billy as well for a walk. It was lovely there and Dave took the camera.

It was a pleasant change to our normal routine.
The rest of the evening was nice and easy, we grabbed takeaway on the way home (first time in quite a while). Watched Ugly Betty, Spicks ‘n’ Specks and then The Gruen Transfer. Now I’m going to attempt to get to sleep BEFORE midnight.
This is how I found this egg the other day, with natural blanket!
