I personally found that once I moved back to wordpress I quit blogging.  I find blogger much easier and I love all of the neato widgets.

You can always find us at www.azmann6.com , so you really don’t have to try to keep up with my OCD.

Love,

Donna

Things have been crazy.  Summer vacation is over and school starts for both Libby and Tommy. We had a very fun summer with lots of friends and late nights.  Now to try to get back on a normal schedule of sleeping at night and waking up before noon.

Alex  will be getting the results of his echocardiogram on August 9th.  We shall see what happens from there.  Hopefully we will get some sort of idea of what the future holds for him.

Caty is looking into some type of art school.  We haven’t really sat down and taken a look around yet, but we need to do that soon.

I am going to Walmart tomorrow and having them recheck my eyes. I got new glasses on Tuesday and by Friday I was having horrible headaches.  I have had vertigo since getting my glasses and haven’t been able to see the computer screen.  Silly me thought that my eyes needed to adjust, but they never did.  I think either the doctor may have messed up on my prescription or they messed up on my glasses.  I seriously think it was the prescription that wasn’t right.  I was questioning it before I even ordered the glasses.  Things just didn’t look clear enough and some things were distorted.  The doctor thought that once I got used to them I would be able to see.  Wrong!!!!

Brien is working hard and thinking about possibly going back to school himself.  Not quite sure what for, but we are open to God’s leading.

I know this may seem like the best option until our children turn 18, but is it?  Click on the link below for an awesome message on parenting.

Thanks to Morris for sending these images to me via email.  This is the second set of images that I have seen, and i wanted to put them here for you all.  I love what this guy can do with some chalk.  His sense of perspective is really tremendous.  Enjoy !

There ya go, pretty awesome eh ?

Chariot  Wheels found at the bottom of the Red  Sea

See  pictures below and the  route
 

You  will be surprised to see proof of Pharaoh’s chariot  & bones of horses/men found in the Red Sea  .
Evidence  of the crossing of the Red Sea by Pharaoh’s drowned  army.

Confirmation  of the actual Exodus route has come from divers finding  coral-encrusted bones  and
chariot  remains in the Gulf of Aqaba . ONE of the most dramatic  records of Divine intervention  in
history  is the account of the Hebrews’ exodus from Egypt  .

The  subsequent drowning of the entire Egyptian army in the   Red Sea was not an insignificant  event,
and  confirmation of this event is compelling evidence that  the Biblical narrative is truly  authentic.
Over  the years, many divers have searched the Gulf of  Suez in vain for artifacts to verify the  Biblical
account.  But carefully following the Biblical and historical  records of the Exodus brings you to Nuweiba, a large  beach in the Gulf of Aqaba , as Ron Wyatt discovered in  1978.

Repeated  dives in depths ranging from 60 to 200 feet deep (18m to  60m), over a stretch of almost 2.5 km, has shown that  the chariot parts are scattered across the sea bed.  Artifacts found include wheels, chariot bodies, as well  as human and horse bones. Divers have located on the  Saudi coastline opposite Nuweiba as  well.

Since  1987, Ron Wyatt found three four-spoke gilded chariot  wheels. Coral does not grow on gold hence the shape has  remained very distinct, although the wood inside the  gold veneer has disintegrated making them too fragile to  move.

The  hope for future expeditions is to explore the deeper  waters with remote cameras or  mini-subs.
Mute  witness to the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea by  the Hebrews 3,500 years  ago.
Found  with a metal detector- Coral-encrusted chariot wheel,  filmed off the Saudi  coastline,
matches  chariot wheels found in Tutankhamen’s  tomb.

Mineralized  bone, one of many found at the crossing site (above  center).
This  one tested by the Department of Osteology at Stockholm   University , was found to be a human femur, from the  right leg of a 165-170cm tall man. It is essentially  ‘fossilized  ’ i.e.- replaced by minerals and coral, hence cannot be  dated by radiocarbon methods, although this specimen was  obviously from antiquity.
Chariot  wheel and axle covered with coral and  up-ended.
.. ‘And  took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them  heavily…’ ….Exodus  14:25

Solomon’s  memorial  pillars.
When  Ron Wyatt first visited Nuweiba in 1978, he found a  Phoenician style column lying in the  water.
Unfortunately  the inscriptions had been eroded away, hence the  column’s importance was not understood until 1984 when a  second granite column was found on the Saudi coastline  opposite –
identical  to the first except on this one the inscription was  still intact  !!!

In  Phoenician letters (Archaic  Hebrew),  it contained the words: Mizraim (Egypt);  Solomon; Edom ; death; Pharaoh; Moses; and Yahweh,  indicating that King Solomon had set up these columns as  a memorial to the miracle of the crossing of the  sea.


Saudi  Arabia does  not admit tourists, and perhaps fearing unauthorized  visitors, the Saudi  Authorities
have  since removed this column, and replaced it with a flag  marker where it once  stood.

How  deep is the water??? The Gulf of  Aqaba is  very deep, in places over a mile  (1,600m)  deep.
Even  with the sea dried up, walking across would be difficult  due to the steep grade down the  sides.
But,  there is one spot where if the water were removed it would be an easy descent for people and  animals.
This  is the line between Nuweiba and the opposite shore in   Saudi Arabia .


Depth-sounding  expeditions have revealed a smooth, gentle slope  descending from Nuweiba out into the Gulf. This shows up  almost like a pathway on depth-recording equipment,  confirming it’s Biblical  description,
‘…a  way in the sea, and a path in the mighty  waters.’ (Isaiah  43:16)

The  Bible writers frequently refer to the miracle of the Red  Sea crossing,  for it was an event which finds no equal in history. The  Hebrew prophets describe the sea at the crossing site  as;
‘…the  waters of the great deep…the depths of the  sea…’ …..(Isaiah  51:10)

Knowing  the exact spot to which the Bible writers were  referring, what is the depth there  ???
The  distance between Nuweiba and where artifacts have been  found on Saudi coast is about 18km  (11  miles).




(Above   NUWEIBA BEACH- the spot where the crossing  began)

Along  this line, the deepest point is about 800m  (2,600  feet).
No  wonder that inspired writers of the Bible described it  as the mighty  waters.
And  no wonder that not a single Egyptian survived when the  water collapsed in upon  them.

God’s  Word once again  confirmed!!! Over  and over and over  again!!!
When  will everyone believe that the only real truth is in the  Bible?

Well we left for a few months, but decided we really like wordpress better. You can catch up on what we have been doing by going to http://www.azmann6.blogspot.com . We will be here from now on at www.azmann6.com . Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. We will be updating this site over the next few days.

Jesus loves you,
The Mannings

Our new url is http://www.azmann6.com. It may not be working yet but keep trying. See you over there.

On this 13th day of thanks I am going to thank God for my 13 years of life. Everyday is a new adventure and definetly a blessing. To think that everyday God wipes my slate clean. I wonder how much Windex and Paper towels were needed to accomplish such a feat.

I am thankful for chocolate and its medicinal properties … just kidding.

I am truly thankful for the thief on the cross.  Not the unrepentant one, but the other one who’s heart was broken as he recognized the Messiah.  I am thankful for his rebuke to the unrepentant criminal, defending Christ when Jesus would not defend Himself.  I’m sure the thief had his doubts, but only about his own righteousness, as he listens to Christ suffer, being forsaken as the weight of the sin of the world is poured upon Jesus.

I am thankful for his pleading question to Jesus, ” remember me when you enter into your kingdom..”

Jesus’ response shatters every rule in the religion handbook when He says “I tell you the truth, today you shall be with Me in paradise.”  Jesus saw the man’s repentant heart, and that was good enough.  That man’s belief in Messiah’s atonement was enough.  Jesus could have said “oh sorry, you need to go door to door and make converts”, or “sorry, you need to be baptised first” or even “sorry, you aren’t Jewish.”

Now, don’t hate on me.  That’s what the word says, and if Jesus said he’s telling the truth then you can take that to the bank !  In conclusion, I am thankful for the grace of God, and His mercy on this wretch… like me.

I am thankful today for a day off with all my kids and look forward to when Brien gets home and we can all watch a movie together and eat dinner.

I am also thankful to all the men and women who have served our great country. Happy Veteran’s Day!
