Psalm 96:1-9

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

2Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

8Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

Our House

The floor creaks loud with every step,
The garden grows with weeds,
And when you go to milk the cow,
You meet a slithering fiend.

On the Killing of a Snake

Many tales I could tell, and do, of the snakes we've killed. There was the two in the chicken house the three under the bathtub, the one in the shower, the three or four in Cameroon, the ones in the garden, on the road, and so on. But really, all snake killings are the same. You spot the snake. The hue and cry goes up. People come running with brooms, sticks, hoes and rakes. You tell whoever brought the rake that rakes are useless, and that its worse than having brought nothing. You find the snake, kill it with the rake, drape it over the fence, and that is that.

Then for the next week or month or year you tell everybody about that snake you killed. And once your friends, family and nieghbors get tired of hearing about your snake then you sit back and eagerly await the day when you are a grandmother and can tell your grandchildren all about that snake you saw in the chicken yard that one time... and then you get up in the morning to go let the chickens out, and lo and behold, A SNAKE!!!!!!!!!! The hue and cry goes up. People come running with brooms, sticks, hoes and rakes. You tell whoever brought the rake that rakes are useless, and that its worse than having brought nothing. You find the snake, kill it with the rake........

The Adventures of the Big Two Story House

When we get up, we have to do our jobs. But when I get up, I have to do the chickens, the cats and get the eggs.
My job is the funnest job. Sometimes when I go to get the eggs, there is a snake lying on them. Then I call my older brothers and sisters and they come running with stickes, stones and brooms.
After jobs we get to eat breakfast. Breakfast is very good. After breakfast, we do school. My older sister does math, science, spanish, and worldviews. But, my school is very easy, exept for the Math and the penmenship. My spanish is very hard. Me pregunto si usted puede leer esto. Thats spanish.
