My colleague from New Zealand,
Michael
Sampson, and his boys have
provided an answer to a pressing question about time management and its
measurement. The question, posed by my daughter, Emily, went like
this:
Dear Mr. Sampson, My name is Emily Mack I am 7 years
old. I live in California. My favorte days of the week are Wensday, Monday
and Sunday.
The things that I like are playing, Computers and writing stories.
I have a question to ask your boys. Does your clock run clockwise?( left
to right)
In the picture you will see our clock.
Eric's daughter,
Emily Mack
Michael's son, David, was kind enough to post this
response,
along with a very helpful photo, in order to help clarify how time is measured
down under.

Tonight, Kathy and I will celebrate our
50th wedding anniversary. We were married 15 years ago, but we learned
that the
50th
anniversary is such a special celebration that we now celebrate it each
year.
I am grateful to the Lord that He has given me the desire of my heart and
that He has blessed me with a Proverbs 31 woman - a wife of noble character.
I am equally delighted that when I proposed to my
kindergarten
sweetheart, she
agreed,
because tonight, we get to watch that classic movie once again.
Thank you, Kathy, for being my wife. I'll always be your prince charming
and I look forward to celebrating for many years to come.

Last week, we took a group of 60 home school
kids and their parents to
California Adventure for a 1/2 day overview
of California history.
We were delighted by the turnout from
our local home school community. The staff and tour guides put together
a wonderful program in which the kids got to experience the sights and
sounds of California's rich heritage. After the tour, the kids were able
to enjoy the rides in the park with their friends. That night, Kathy and
I took our girls to our favorite place -- can you guess where?
