Overview of Ecclesiastes

Worthless, worthless are all things beneath the sun. The pleasures of this life pass along with all else.All pleasures are vanity and should be taken in moderation or (according to the teacher) should not be taken at all. In conclusion the most important things to do with you with your life are to search for wisdom and to remember your creator while you are young.

-Concluding Verse-

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Now all has been heard here is the conclusion of the matter. Fear God and keep his commandments.For God will bring every deed into judgement. Including every hidden thingboth evil and good

Don't push it buddy.

Put The Big Red Button on your site

last Christmas I was given a remote control car and of course it broke after a matter of months. A little while ago I got a great idea why not build my own car out of spare pieces.
So, I got to work. As you can see I was joined in my quest by my brothers.
(In the back my brother Seth is working on his own thing)

After stripping the old car of all its useful pieces I began searching for the frame.I finally found an old push car that had a hollow inside.After stuffing the inside with all the stuff I needed to make it go forward I began the test drive. It works!!! Success.Now I am working on the steering.

It's not quite there yet but I will probably have it done by Christmas. Trying to keep you all up to date on all thats happening here in Mexico.

Indescribable.

A couple of nights ago we watched a video called Indescribable (it is a movie you should DEFINITELY see). The video talked about how the universe is made to glorify God, and it also showed some cool space pictures from the Hubble telescope. As I was watching it I decided to post some pictures about it. To begin I want to quote the speaker in saying that this is supposed to make you feel small .The reason God made the universe so big is so He could glorify himself.

for those who think we are the biggest and the best of all the planets.

These are real pictures taken from space.








Before you look at these last pictures, I want you to think about how God made everything.



This picture is taken right in the center of the Whirlpool galaxy. God knew from the beginning that he would give his son for us.


Job 38:31-36 Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?
Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?
Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?
Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?
Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are? Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?

Aaaaaaaagh!!!

As you may see by the link at the top right hand corner of the page I am now participating in the Homeschool Blogger Awards, Which in itself is not a problem. The problem is that I was subscribed without my knowledge. I caught the hint when that funny looking link appeared on my blog.Upon further inquiry I discovered my name on the list of nominees for The Best Guy Blog. Who can be this sinister new threat and how can they be stopped???(for some reason I have the feeling that the Redheaded Momblogger is at work).Well since I have the link and I am already subscribed click on the link above to vote for meeeeee!!!

Photohunt-family

About a year ago we had a family reunion at the grand canyon (if you haven't been there yet then you are reeeaaaly missing out).Anyway this is our family picture minus one(Well somebody has to take the picture)In case you were wondering I'm the one who is not there.

Photohunt-lazy

Last week we had a hurricane pass near by our house. The wind blew the rain poured and of course the power went out. When the storm had passed by and we had fixed all the stuff the hurricane had messed up we sat back and waited for the power to come back on. So we waited and waited and waited but the power still didn't come on. So we went over to a friends house that still had power and called the power company and they said that they were on the way.Three days later the power came back on.The first picture is my entry for photohunt but the other ones are just pictures of the storm.

Recycle

Last summer, the city of Las Glorias poured new sidewalks from one end of the main boulevard to the other.


This summer they started tearing them out to put in a drainage system. Bet you thought they only did that in the states!

Well, one contractor's mistake is our gain! Check out what we're doing with the chunks of cement...
My brothers and I loaded 7 or 8 trailer loads by hand.

Then the backhoe showed up. Score!!! Too bad we only needed two more loads! LOL.

End of Baseball

Well baseball is over. so here are the pictures of the season.

A sum-up of the year. We won three out

of eight of our games. We lost three of our

games at 29-4, 32-8 and 32-2. But that's

pretty good considering that only half the

kids showed up for practice.We hope to do

better next year and are looking forward to it.

Bee Candy!!

A couple of days ago we found a hive full of honey out back, so we went after it. This is just a little bit of the honey comb.

Digging in the sand.

Yesterday we had youth group at our house. My dad is the youth pastor. Anyway they came over and we watched a movie. After the movie we went back to Boca to drop them off. But while we were there my dad, my friend Abimael and I wanted to check the beach to see how the waves were. On the way back we came across some big posts stuck in the sand. My dad offered to pay us five dollars if we could pull them out and put them on top of the van . So we got a shovel and got to work. Well, as some of you may know dry sand is sometimes hard to dig in because the wind blows it back in the hole especially when the wind is so strong that it almost blows you over. Well, in the end we got the posts out, we got home and are now planning to put up a shade on the front of the house. I'll take pictures when we're done building it.

More about baseball.

This year instead of going on a team I decided to help my dad coach the younger team. When we first started We only had seven mitts, three of which were barely usable.Fortunately last week we were donated some. Practice went a lot better with the extra mitts.It's kinda hard to play in the heat but the REALLY hot part isn't till June. Anyway my dad set up this practice batting pole to help with hitting, it works really well. We saw a tremendous improvement in practice on tuesday.

Miscellaneous Monday

Today is the day that I tell you about all that's happened the last week. Well, in Mexico, Mother's day is celebrated a day early, so for Mother's day we took my mom to the theaters to see "Iron Man". It was pretty good. The graphics were PHENOMENAL!!!!!! Anyway, we had lunch in the food court in the Ley (A.K.A the mall). We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around Guasave. Well, that's all the news I have. I'll try to keep you posted on the life of an M.K. in Mexico
