Shem, Ham, and Japheth

Well I found out today that Ham is the youngest of the brothers. :)

In Chapter 9 verse 20 Noah got a little carried away with the wine from his vineyard. He fell asleep naked in his tent. Well, Ham walked in and saw him. So he told his brothers about it. They walked in backwards with a garment over their shoulders and covered him up. Then ...
Genesis 9:24 "When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him" (emphasis mine). He then cursed Ham's son Canaan. Which I don't think is fair but that goes on the list of 'Who am I?' Boy, embarrassment is rough.

So, I now know that Ham is Noah's youngest boy. This is exciting.

CAT

Well, the California Achievement Tests came in today. We will do them tomorrow and if need be I might do one of the boys Friday.

I am amazed at God's peace. Last year I was a wreck. Very nervous and concerned. It was our first year taking the tests. We had, for the first two years, an umbrella school that I reported to. Now this year I feel almost like an old pro. Praise God!

David looked over his test and asked if we could do his tonight. I said no. :) I'll teach that boy yet to procrastinate! No, no, I'm teasing. I try not to do 'school' at night because that is when we hang out with Dad. Plus we have a leadership meeting/dinner tonight at church. So, we just couldn't. Tomorrow will be here soon enough. :)

This year of school has really stretched me. I give all the glory to God. He is raising me well.
