Thanksgiving or giving thanks for living?

Thanksgiving or giving thanks for living?
While riding up to the family's to have the meal and fellowship time, I took a short eye closer (nap) and was thinking the entire time about allthe wonderful things I have to be thankful for. I was also thanking God for the life I still have to live for. I have five children, my mom, my husband, grndchildren, and ALL my fabulous friends, and acquiantances I have met only briefly.

I enjoy meeting new people and learning new and exciting facts and information. Using this blog and learning how to use twitter, facebook, myspace and other social networks has been an educational trip I won't forget. I get better each time I get on. As the old saying goes "If you don't use it you will looses it." (especially passwords) I guess I haven't lost it because I can still get on this page.

When I was reading the article about the teacher who was putting information on facebook, my first thought was what are you doing talking bad about the place that employs you, and what ever you put on facebook will be veiwed by everyone and anyone on internet. And if the information you wanted to keep secret should have been done over the phone, (not much privacy there) or in person, of cousre you could have just kept those thoughts to yourself and not get anyone in trouble. I guess they will remember next time, if there is a next time. I'm sure they are thinking the same thing -- keep it to myself.

September is here and half way gone.

I can't believe it, the month is more that half over, and so is my first on-line course.

So much to do and so little time to get it done.

School is full swing, and the freshmen kids are getting used to their schedules, and they are learning that there are consequences for not getting their howework done on time. They are also learning that problems with their locker combinations are no longer an excuse to be late for class. It's a wonderful thing to have detention before or after school; and if you miss those, there is always Saturday morning to serve the time.

Farming is slowly getting done, ground is beginning to look ready for drilling wheat, hay is getting cut and baled, some for the second time. Sudan (forage feed) is being cut and getting ready for it to be baled also. Our hogs are getting ready to have piglets, and some of the cows are almost ready to have calves. Neighbors all around are plowing or discing ground too. Sure makes it dusty in the air.

Kansas State Fair ends tomorrow (9-20) and hope to go and see the antique tractor pull. We have a friend who is entered in it, he usually does a good job and wins a trophy. Our younger children enjoy going to watch the pull, and we usually take in some of the other attractions,too.

God has seen us through some tough times and I'm sure he will continue to answer our prayers. There are Godly moments every where a person looks and I want to quote a saying I have posted in my house.

Godly Moments

• If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
• Happy moments, Praise God.
• Difficult moments, Seek God.
• Quiet Moments, Worship God.
• Painful moments, Trust God.
• Every Moments, THANK GOD

Thanking God everyday is not a chore, it's a privlege because we wouldn't be here without him in our lives.

New to Blogging

The why, where, when, and what of blogging, just waiting for the tips on HOW.

The reasoning behind this blog site is only for a college course, OK that takes care of the why. Where to blog, I guess I will be doing that from home, as I am not able to get to this site from work. When to send updates, I guess that is whenever I have the time to sit and do it, unless it becomes a necessity for college. And as for the what to blog about, that will be my misguided thoughts that will come as I write. So I have created this, now what do I do with it? I guess that will come with time.

I have a friend who blogs once a month to let everyone know how she's doing. I also know she has to do it as part of her teaching missionary work in Honduras. When she retired from public schools, she hated using modern technology, and now she has a laptop, a cellphone, and a web cam. She is now more into technology than she ever wanted to be.

I'll close with the thought, " If necessity is the mother of invention why did they invent BLOGS, and is this really necessary
