Little Girl Sweetness


The Lord has blessed us with girls. Seems God has determined we have a lot of the female gender for offspring here. So, after raising two daughters, we now have three granddaughters, pictured above with their "Auntie Nee," our younger daughter. SO any article directly speaking to raising girls in today's society gets my immediate attention. And this article did, so I thought I'd share with no further comment except to say it's well worth reading.

Oh and by the way. Today is our youngest granddaughter's birthday. One whole year of life. Happy birthday, Gracie!

Thomas Ken, a Christian Hero


Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.


Do your children know these words? No doubt they’ve sung them at church. Do they know anything of the man who wrote them? His name was Thomas Ken, who lived in the years 1637-1711. This would be a nice homeschool research paper for them, as well as Christian History project: Let them find out all they can about this man and his musical contributions to the Church. Let them study his childhood and his later trials in the time in which he lived in England. Let them learn about this unsung hero. I think they’ll benefit.
