When running from a big scary storm there are many things to be learned. I thought I would share a few of those with you today. We spent 6 hours going only 20 miles at one point!
1. After 10 pm only Spanish speakers listen to the radio. I know this because at that time almost all radio stations switched to Spanish.
2. Those 20 mph school zones aren't really that bad, at least your moving.
3. During an evacuation of a major city TxDot guys in pickups watching random cones that block one lane that isn't under construction yet, aren't allow to move them. Yeah this really happened. We moved down to one lane for about 1/2 mile and the other lane was in perfect condition, and yes there was a TxDot guy in his pickup watching the whole thing!
4. I can't see much with my glasses on, I need to update the lenses.
5. Fox news is broadcast on 1170 am near the DFW area in the late night/early morning. We heard the storm come ashore. That was awesome.
6. The RaceTrac gas station at IH35 and US380 has awesome frozen drinks. 2 types of frozen coffee, I lost count of the other Icee type drinks, and a milkshake machine that adds flavor as you pour it into your cup. It's a must stop place for me now.
7. At 3:30 am it is 61 degrees in Hamlin, I dont' think it ever gets that cold here.....it was awesome.
8. 2.5 million evacuees = 2.5 million cars
9. God's grace was poured out upon us and His wrath was not.....only He knows why. If it wasn't for His mercy everyday we'd all be gone.

Rita
School was cancelled thursday and friday in my district and we haven't returned. Tomorrow will be the first day back. Dirk and my sister Amy (along with sweet little Olivia) and I made our way wednesday evening to Longview to stay with Dirk's dad's family and out of the way of Rita. It took us 9 hours and it normally takes about 4. We finally got in around 5 am and crashed. We spent the next couple days worrying about Shale (amy's hubby) and Beth and Evie (my other sister). Shale had to work a half day on thursday so there was no way he would be able to get out of town--it was WAY too crowded. Beth, however left her house around 4 am and after about 14 hours, she finally had to turn around and head back to Kingwood. She'd travelled probably 30 miles and was tired, desparate and low on gas. I was sooooo upset about them trying to get home and I didnt wanyt to her to be left stranded on the side of some country road with no gas when Rita made landfall. Dirk found some awesome Texas Atlas(that was rank with cigarette smoke) that had every road in Texas listed in it and he and Amy were able to navigate her back home. Beth, Evie, Shale and my dad rode out the storm in our house and enjoyed the hot powerless home. They made good use of the gas grill and cooked up about every frozen piece of meat in the house and then feasted. WE (Amy, Dirk and I) decided on friday that since the storm was predicted to head straight up 59 to where we were, we would be better off heading west to Dirk's mom's house and camping out in Hamlin for a few days. We told Clif (Beth's hubby who was fortunate enough to make it up to Longview) about our plans and he joined us on our 7 hour trip to west Texas. We drove through the night again so Olivia could sleep so we were able to listen to Foxnews on the Radio report the storm hitting landfall. We made it about 3:30 and slept until Olivia had us all awake.
Of course being in Hamlin we ate WELL. So well that we all vowed that would not let the rest of the family know what we ate--we felt bad knowing they were without power and left with whatever food wouldnt spoil while we ate steaks and all kinds of awesome stuff. It was good to see family too. My mom and grandmother were in Austin with my aunt, so they werent hurting either. I felt really bad that little Evie had to suffer through the storm and the heat and the power outages--but she's a trooper.
We got home around 9 or so last night. We took our time and even stopped in College Station for some Taste of the Tropics (yummmmmmmm) and some Wings'nMore. It was so nice to be back in our own beds again too.
Tomorrow is school. Yay. Back to the grind.

I am very thankful that the Lord protected us throughout all our driving and gave us wisdom about what to do. Even my car: we dropped it off wed morning and it needed $700 worth of repairs--repairs that if we didnt get fixed would have cost us thousands on the road out of town that evening; we had it out of the shop that afternoon and were able to take it on the road on our adventurous "Tour of Texas." The Lord sustained us the whole way and I am very thankful. he even allowed us to see some family and spend some time with people we hadnt seen in a while. What a blessing!
Tomorrow is school. Yay. Back to the grind.

Some thoughts about Paul, and the workings of God
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor. To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now. --1 Corinthians 4:9-13
I read these verses last night as I was working on a study of Ephesians. I was in Ephesians 3 and the question was about the sufferings that Paul mentions just breifly in 13 I think. I was so amazed by these verses for several reasons. Paul's not trying to gripe about their situation, it sounds like he's being honest with how he sees things: "For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death" --like he's accepting the reality of his station. PAUL is saying this. One of the most influential men in Christendom. I always imagine Paul walking around with a little invisible halo floating over his head--he's special, the Lord blinded Paul and spoke audibly him, he's always got the right answers--how could he think that the apostles could be last??
I also feel totally like the people he's speaking to. They are prudent, strong, distinguished, fed, clothed and enjoying life--and totally reaping the rewards of the laborers like Paul and his companions. I am not considered a "fool", I'm not without honor...its totally acceptable for me to be Christian--but the reality is that this only happened because Paul endured what he did to bring the gospel to these people.
I'm so convicted reading these verses!! Paul was in the real battle---not sitting on the sidelines like I'm always doing--and it was hard. I guess a lot of us Christians would like to be like Paul, but in reality we dont know what we're saying. "We have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now." I bet it must have been hard to keep going some days, and but for the sake of Christ, there would have been a day he would have quit.
"Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?" --2 Corinthians 11:25-29
The way of the real Christian life (not that one I want so desperately to be) is paved with suffering and hardship. Its difficult and full of toil. And as Paul says in Philippians:
"More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;" (3:8-10)
Do we really want the fellowship of Christ's sufferings? I'm not saying that if we live comfortable lives, free of persecution we arent true Christians, I'm just wondering if we miss out on the rich fellowship of Christ if we stay in our safe environments. But then, is rich fellowship with Christ what some of us wanted when we confessed Christ anyway? I wonder.
These passages made me think about my life, it also reminded me that Paul was human--life wasn't easy for him--and also that he remembered these outward trappings where rubbish compared to Christ--Something I needed to hear.
Makes me want to be a missionary in some remote part of the earth and suffer with Paul in laboring to bring the gospel to those who dont know Him(Christ, that is).
On another note: you should check this out: http://www.myspace.com/derekwebb and listen to the song called "the Wedding Dress" Oh man, if you arent ashamed of the way you abuse the riches of God's grace, then you weren't listening.
Peace,
Kathy

HMMMMM
It's Dirk again. I'm getting ready to study this evening and thought I would pass along this piece of information to you.
I just recently (today) found out that Saddleback Community Church in sunny California was a SBC church. I read it in the Southern Baptist Texan paper. I found that very interesting because on their website, in their name, and by what they say you would never know. Are they scared to be labeled a Southern Baptist? I think I'll start calling these churches closet baptist.....nah that's not too nice. I just thought that was interesting because I had no clue they did anything with the SBC. Did anyone else know this and NOT tell me? This is information I would have like to have known about. If you know of random information like this little piece please let me know--Dirk

Hello Again
Dirk here with ya. I'll start posting in orange if I remember so that you know it is me.
Ahhh....the blog, a new way to procrastinate from studying. I remember when e-mail was the new fad and then it was high speed internet so we could check that e-mail every 3.252845 minutes instead of studying. I hope that you all read and enjoyed Kathy's rant about the school system. I think now it is my turn.
I do this next section with as much love as possible. Please do not think that I am personally attacking any specific person :) OK, here I go.
I have been less that pleased with the overall quality of speakers that have been in front of us at school chapel. It is very frustrating to hear pastors and laborers of Christ use poor theology and poor Bible teaching when preaching to a bunch of seminary students. I know that I personally would be scared to death to be in front of a bunch of people that are supposed to be the future leadership of many churches. I mean of all people I would think seminary students would be sharp and I would be scared I would slip and say something stupid. Not all, but several of the pastors that have been up in front of us have been less that impressive. For example, at one point one it was said "We blame God for a lot of things He doesn't have any control over!" I am curious what God he is serving? I mean last time I checked the Bible still taught that He is sovereign. More than that I get frustrated when a person speaks on a topic and reads the scripture that he is going to be "teaching" from and then doesn't teach or use that scripture again. I think that it is time for teachers of the Word, pastors, and lay persons to start teaching the Bible and stop abusing it. Christians have gone way too long with finding a topic then trying to find a few verses, that when used out of context, can push an agenda. What we should do is find the scripture that addresses the topic at hand, exegete it, and then obey. It is pretty scary to see some people, who once were in my seat as a student, have been in the church long enough that they stopped teaching scripture. Or worse never learned......yikes.
Ok enough about that. I'm not trying to call any one person out, I just had this revelation the last week or so and have been very frustrated.
Thought for the blog:
Why do Americans "church shop" when they move? What I mean is why are people so comfortable with the different teachings of different denomonations? Do they know the differences? What would you say is the most important attribute for a church (friendly people)? These questions and more are courtesy of my Baptist Heritage class. Feel free to respond, I would love to know your ideas!

Education
I don't know what the deal is lately, but its only the 5th week of school, and I just can't get excited about it. I think that "new" has worn off or something. I guess also, I know that this is not my ultimate goal in life: to teach American history in a state school to students who dont want to be there. Dont get me wrong. I love the students, but I dont see myself making a career of this. Its just the machine of government schools is so...... I dont even know the word. Depraved? Empty? Aimless? Hostile to the things of God?
I was given several books over the summer that really challenged my thinking about education, and what the true goal should be. The fact is, the children of America are receiving their education from people who don't love God or His Word. What, honestly, does that teach them? That there is an area of life where Christ isn't necessary? Is that the lesson we want them to learn?
I know anyone reading this who isnt a fan of homeschooling for any number of reasons ("socialization", evangelizing, being a part of the "world", fear of poor education, etc) is probably wondering what happened to me. I would have been the first to object to homeschooling a year ago, but my eyes have really been opened to a lot of things.
If you think I'm nuts, or have any interest in what I've been rambling about, I would highly recommend you check out these books: When You Rise Up, by R.C. Sproul Jr and Excused Absence by Douglas Wilson.
The shema in Deut. 6 is pretty clear--its clear about a lot of things--that parents are responsible for their children's education: they are the ones to teach them if at all possible. How can I in good conscience let someone else teach my child (someone who may not know Christ) while I teach someone else's child? It just doesnt make sense.
I could go on forever, but its time for me to head off to church. Maybe I'll continue this later...
Peace,
Kathy

Dirk's First Blog
Ah my first blog of this site. I used to think that blogs or what other names that they are called were.....well....stupid. But after becoming addicted to reading them, we decided to come up with out own. Here is what you might see from me on this blog.
1) Things going on in my life (I can sense your excitement already).
2) What I am reading for class, or does that fall under #1?
3) Possibly a paper or two from class....again is that #1?
4) Things in the culture and life in general that bother me and I feel that everyone should get my opinion on, dang #1 again.
5) Surprise topics
OK, OK, with all blogs you are going to get all about me and my thoughts. But that is ok :) I'm not that creative to come up with anything else.
We are also going to post some Links of other cool Blogs. Until then you can click on the links below to get them:
http://jimhamilton.blogspot.com/
http://fide-o.blogspot.com/
http://www.albertmohler.com/
I hope that these will bring some a few laughs, but more importantly challenge you in the things of God.
Kathy suggested that I let you know of what I read for class this week. I read a section from Torbets Baptist Heritage, Selections from Sayings of the Desert Fathers and Harlots of the Deserts (I don't recommend the last two for leisure reading), Romans 1-12, Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life (excellent book by Dr. Whitney that is also being done as a study through the Founders Ministry www.founders.org), and finally parts of World Christian Movements. All this on top of Hebrew homework and study for the Haggai Bible study sure made for a long week. I wouldn't want to be doing anything else though!

pictures. because i can.
Awww, cute us. Dirk was bald for about a year, but it got a little drafty. This is right before he grew it all back.
This is a Scottish cow. They pronounce it "hairy coo" They are pretty cool. This one was kinda small. It was just hanging outside a castle. Sweet.
Where "dead dog stories" rest in peace. Ask Jenny.. Ah, good times.
That s about it for now.....

Happy Birthday Dirk!!!
Today is Dirk's 26th Birthday!!!
He's OLD. Not me though. I'm only 25. Thats still mid-20's. Dirk, however, has moved into his late-20's .
This is Dirk is Scotland taking a break from the Holiday Club festivities. Those kids were great. I fitting tribute to him on his birthday.
So what's going on with us? Not a lot. We got up at 5:45 to do our long run this moring with the group, but Dirk was not felling so hot, so we crawled back in bed. Thats the beauty of only training for a half-marathon. We're about halfway to 13 miles in training and we still have 4 months before we have to run the Houston HP marathon. A week off won't kill us. PLUS, its his birthday, so if he wants to sleep in, he can. It will be nice when we get our saturdays back, right now our "sleep-in" day is Sunday because we dont have to be out of bed until 7:30.
WOW, we're old.
Teaching has been good. I really want my students to love history, but I guess I have to accpet the fact that I'm an idealist in that way. I guess I need to settle for them knowing that I love them--which should be the primary goal anyway. I just get so swept away in what I want them to know, and its kind of scary that I'm jacking with how they will perceive history as they go into high school. I still remember my 8th grade history teacher, so I bet some of them will remember me.
ANYWAY--We're going to the Cheesecake Factory tonight! MMMMMMGodiva Chocolate cheesecake gives me goosebumps. yummmmmmmmmmy!
Maybe one of these days Dirk will take a break from writing hebrew and will post something. I should post a picture of that--its crazy.

A day in the life of...(dot, dot, dot)
Ok so I stole the name from a lame FoodTV show I saw ages ago. I'm just not that creative to come up with my own material.
Dirk and I love reading other people's blogs--we have many favorites, snd a few inspired us to come up with our own. I'm not sure that it will be as interesting as most, but if you're interested you can keep up with our oh-so-fabulous life. :)
Right now I should be downstairs reading with Dirk to lend moral support, but reading up on some friends got me distracted. I'll head down there in a minute to join him. While he's reading "Sayings of the Desert Fathers" or whatever it is for one of his classes, I'll bbe reading a biography of John Adams. Who knew his life was that interesting? Not me.
Well this entry is a trial run...we'll see how long it stays up.
