Even the little things

Today I was reading from 2 Kings 6:1-7. In this passage, we see that God worked a miracle to retrieve a borrowed ax head for one of His prophets. The commentary I was reading by Dale Ralph Davis pointed out that this is a great example of how God is also involved in and controls the seemingly little details in our lives. I already knew this, but He reminded me of that again this evening.
Ketchup will be auditioning this week for a role in the summer children's musical at church. The musical is "The Music Man" and today we've been practicing a part of the song she needs to sing in the audition. The song is "Wells Fargo Wagon." After several more practice runs, I turned off her CD and turned on the TV. Guess what was on - that's right - "The Music Man." We were watching for about 5 minutes before the Wells Fargo Wagon song started. She was so excited to see it and the whole idea of the song/musical make much more sense to her.
God is concerned in every aspect of our lives, even musicals!

Science, science, science!

We've been on a science kick over here at P family homeschool. The kids had a science fair with our homeschool group. I just love the fact that they are doing real presentations at their young ages. Here are they are talking about ants and radars. You'll have to follow the links to youtube because the videos were too big for me to put directly on the blog.

(I apologize for Ketchup's shaky video. I let Bounce attempt to play videographer, but soon realized he needs more training.)

Here is a cool video of the ants. Although I was not thrilled about having an ant farm in the house, I was quickly won over. They are super strong as you can see here.

We also have a butterfly habitat in the house. Here is a picture of one of the cocoons.

We now have 10 beautiful butterflies that are ready to be set free.

How amazing God's creation is!
