Here are a few pictures of schooling for Abiel and Judah with Asher running around in his crazy 2 year-old-I own the world-diaper displaying-superhero. He is becoming quit the little personality.
Abiel and Judah are doing great at school and love it, except for Judah when he decided he doesn't want go to school today, he must have gotten that from his mom (you will have to ask Emie how she managed to skip over 80% of her Senior year of HS and still was top honors).

The second foto is of the guys putting in our pathway to the back faucet and the fort we are constructing in our back yard.

More pictures to come. Bless you all

Globegirl said...: Hi there. I'm really loving reading about your adventures...and your 2-year-old is a doll. That's a great picture, and warms my heart to see homeschoolers, as I homeschooled from 4th - 12th grade. God bless you and your family as you chase His heart.; Tuesday, April 3, 2007 at 9:43:00 PM PDT

Why Annonymous Giving?

The Apostle Paul tells the Corinthians that he is able to minister to them because of the generous gifts of others. He actually tells them, "I 'robbed' other churches by accepting their contributions so I could serve you at no cost" (2 Cor. 11:8). We believe the same is true for us. Because of anonymous giving we are able to serve at no cost to anyone. We can't tell you how freeing it is to interact with people knowing we don't have to get them on our "financial support team". We can speak openly, honesty, and not be ashamed of the Gospel. This also allows many to put their walls down knowing we are there to give and not receive anything in return. So we thank you and want you to know we will never stop boasting about how the Lord is using you (though we have no names) to free us up to advance the Kingdom of God (2 Cor. 11:10).
Thank you once again and we can't wait for Heaven and find out it was you all along that sacrificed on behalf of our family. No wonder there will be a feast when we get there!

Blessings,
The Locke Family.
