I mentioned last week that there would be some changes here. One of them being a change to the weekly Thursday format. For a time I will devote this space as a mini snapshot into our schooling adventures. After pondering what to call this endeavor I have settled on “Teaching Treasures.” I have been given the privilege of imparting treasures of knowledge to the treasures God has gifted into our lives. My desire is that they would grow in wisdom of the Lord first. Beyond that they would add the knowledge of academic understanding through books and beyond to real life learning.
We have been on vacation this week thanks to Precious husband’s hard work. The three that are currently schooling started in July so we could take this time off. The teacher in me is always looking for opportunities to encourage learning through hands on, real life experiences. Our oldest child once made the statement, “Everything is school to you.” So true, life is one big learning adventure in my eyes.
On Monday we saw this…
so we discussed jellyfish and then did a little internet research and decided this was a cannonball jellyfish or more accurately stomolophus meleagris.
We also observed clouds like this…
which led to a discussion about the water cycle. We found a link with basic information and facts…
which also lead to a discussion about cloud types. Check here to learn a lot about clouds – how they were named and how to identify them.
The boys also learned how to replace kitchen and bathroom faucets. After all, this is a working vacation.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,” Colossians 3:23

I have been trying to memorize Colossians, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. How appropriate the verses for memorization this week land in Colossians 3:
