“Say Goodbye To Self”
(By: Janet Chestnut, 10/30/08)
Say goodbye to “Self…”
And from her ways depart.
She cannot rule your life,
when Jesus owns your heart.
____________________________________
“Self” thinketh she knows best,
and she will fight to win…
But her lack of wisdom…

“Self” seeketh her own gain,
but all she finds is loss.
She wants to have her way…

Today, the kiddos got to try out their new tin whistles for the first time. They just started their six weeks of music class with Mrs. Donna. Although I’m glad the kids are so excited, I must say, tin whistles aren’t exactly “headache friendly.”
This new experience for my children takes [...]

Well, as usual, I find what I need most is a good quiet time with the Lord (see previous post). Today, the key verse in “Our Daily Bread” says:
“Walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” –Ephesians 5:15-16

Oh, what can I say…it’s just one of those kind of Mondays. I need a good quiet time, a decent cup of coffee, and a dose of doggy cuteness. (And maybe a good, swift kick in the backside wouldn’t be a bad idea either! )

My Sarah Beth LOVES music and LOVES to sing. She has many favorites, and lately, one of those has become “Me and God” by Josh Turner. In fact, she’s already had it playing on the computer early this morning. Sarah and Kerry were singing the song and doing sign language as a supplement.
When [...]

I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had much time to write about our new Classical Conversations (CC) group (for Christian home-schoolers). (We’ve added the CC program as a supplement to our homeschooling curriculum this year.) The kids go to CC every Thursday, and they LOVE it! Sarah and Kerry have classes [...]
