This week's Find

Grammar stage memorisation complied by Hannah Wilson. Look it up and if you like it you can download a free copy. I definitely don't think we'll memorise it all but it sure helps to have it in one place and we could add as we go along. Thank you Hannah Wilson.

This week's Song

Open up the bible, Veggie Tales

David was a shepherd boy
Who cared for simple things.
But God made him brave
Then little Dav
Grew up to be a king.

When you open up the bible you will see
Lots of ordinary people like you and me
Who trust in God to do fantastic things.

When you open up the bible you will read
That God has promised all you need.
To make you into who you're meant to be.

Sara was a faithful wife
Who waited on the Lord.
She wanted a son
So she prayed for one
And which was her reward.

Noah was a righteous man
Who listened to God's plans.
And when the rains came down
He did'nt drown
But floated to dry land.

This week's Verse

James1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

One fine day....

There's never the perfect time to begin something...you just have to, and take it from there.
 Home schooling comes under this category for me.
 I'm blogging for a couple of reasons, for accountability (more for myself)

and  to keep an online album running. This past week was one in which we were trying to give some structure to our flexibility. We moved back from Las Vegas on September 18th,2013 and we're starting a life here. God's grace and provision is obvious in our lives and we're thankful for it.
