Thanksgiving

Hi all, I just wanted to share what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving morning.

I thank God for all of these things that He has so graciously provided for me:

First, and always at the very top of my list, is Jesus, he came and took on human flesh (John 1:14), lived a perfect life and took on my sins (2 Corinthians 5:21), and died for me (Romans 5:6-8).

Second is family, my mom who never gave up on me and kept praying for me even when I was rejecting both her and God. My daughter Lora whom I love dearly and who is so much like me. My granddaughter Serenity who lives life full bore and keeps me going all the time. For my cousin Mike who has been so generous with our expanded family the last several years. And of course my little sister Kari who has such a great way of bringing me down to reality when I wander off in my head sometimes.

I'm thankful for Messiah Lutheran Church and our congregation, and especially for Pastor Ledic.

I'm thankful for my job, and my employers, especially in these tough times.

I'm thankful for our unschooling friends who are so much fun to be around and to camp with too.

Thank you God! :-)

Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
