Noah's Arc

Noah is our child that has had ONE interest for as long as I can remember. Even as a toddler he was fascinated with anything electrical. As responsible parents, we tried to keep him away from such dangers. We soon found out is was a lost cause. That is all he thinks about in his spare time (and even while he is supposed to be getting his school work done). It is the "thing" that all his extra money (birthday money, money he's earned, etc.) goes towards. It is the thing he wakes up thinking about. It is just his thing.

Noah plans to name his future business "Noah's Arc." That is not a typo. Think wires shorting out, rather than a big boat. He is sure that he wants a career in electronics or residential electricity. He has made many friends in both fields that are a great source of information and advice for him. He is friends with our county's residential electrical inspector.

Noah loves to take things apart. I've told him, anyone can take something apart, I'm impressed only if he puts them back together (and it works). He has assisted a parent or handled entirely the repair or replacement of: our sump pump, dishwasher, garbage disposal, ice maker fill valve, dryer, Kitchenaid mixer, and light fixtures (I'm sure I've forgotten something). He's pretty handy to have around.

I have told Noah that God has gifted him in this area for a reason, and for His propose. Who knows where the future will take him. He knows that there are many villages in Guatemala or Mexico or another continent where the people are living without electricity. What opportunity.

Genesis 6:8 "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord."




Noah received a hydrogen car for CHRISTmas. It literally runs on water. It is pretty cool.




He also received a "Learning Lab" from Radio Shack (His favorite store. The employees know him when he walks into the local store, and want to know what he is working on now). It has provided HOURS of experimenting, building circuits.



Noah's latest thing is his "Basic Stamp Kit." (Thanks Uncle Les for introducing him to Basic Stamp!) He has been using his computer to program different circuits on the stamp. He just added the LCD display. He loves it!







The LCD says it all. Noah program-med the message. No one was insulting him.

He's a proud "geek". His mom's proud, too.
