My Job as Mother



My job as Mother of this home:

- Educate my children to resist the influence of evil

- Present my children with the highest ideal

- With the help of God, develop in the human soul the likeness of the divine

- Improve my own abilities, so I may rightly use the highest powers of my mind in the training of my children

- Inquire at every step, "What has God spoken?"

- Study God's word

- Keep my eyes fixed on Christ

- Be a true reflection of Jesus

Guam 2020: Post 26 - Humatak Heritage Village

Monday was President's Day, and Rob had the day off from work.  I'm so glad because I wasn't feeling sick at all.  We decided to drive around the southern half of the island.  Last time we tried to do this, it was a very raining day, but today the weather was perfect, sunny and warm with fluffy white clouds. Our first stop was Umatac, an interesting village full of history.  In the local language, it is spelled Humatak.  Ferdinand Magellan and his sailors brought first European contact to the island in 1521.  It is thought they landed in Umatac Bay, but I just learned in further reading that the site is disputed, and might have been further north.  I wish I could say that this is a good story, but it leaves me very disturbed.  There was thievery, fighting, killing and burning of the settlement, not so different from stories of first visits in other places around the world.  It wasn't mentioned in the article, but I'm guessing that the...

Wooden Bridge to a Huckleberry Trail called Mocus Point

You might be anticipating photos of the wildflowers of the Beartooth.  Those are coming, but first before we got there we had to drive through Idaho.  The most direct route follows the Lochsa River from Lewiston, ID to Missoula, MT along Highway 12, also known as the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway, because Lewis and Clark followed this route back home.  If you you haven't driven that road before, I definitely recommend it for your next road trip.  Here is a link to a publication about the road.   http://npshistory.com/publications/usfs/region/1/nez-perce/hwy-12.pdf I think there are 5 wooden suspension bridges over the Lochsa that is for foot and pack animal traffic only and crosses over to a trail. The one we stopped at is at mile post 143.  Sometime long ago, when my kids were little, we stopped there and I remember William taking a lot of photos down under the bridge with a camera we were letting him use.  It seems this was an important part of...

Pohnpei, Part 3: Liduhduhniap Falls

(Note to those who weren't with me on Pohnpei in 1988.  You are welcome to listen in, but I am writing mainly for my fellow teachers, myself, and my family.  There will be some things you won't understand.  Just skim those parts, if you wish.) We stayed in this lovely building.  I think it used to be painted blue.  The lower floor used to be Mr. Quail's house.  The lower left apartment was Mr. Keith's.  Remember him?  The maintenance man?  We stayed in his apartment.  The building is still in good condition, but the cupboards and cabinets need help.  The particle board has swelled after all these years, and the drawers no longer work.  The building behind "Mr. Quail's place" is a cafeteria on the ground floor with  girls housing up above.  The boys are in the building that the nice Philippino lady, I think her name was Ramie, who taught typing lived in.  And there are a couple guys in the apartment in th...
