Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

When I first started homeschooling, one of the books that I turned to for information was Debra Bell’s Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling.  It was packed with information that helped me as I started my homeschooling journey.  I kept it on my bookshelf as a reference that I turned to often.

God’s Mercy: Streams in the Desert

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. ~ Isaiah 35:5-7 ~ See the first two posts in the God’s Mercy series here and here.
