I am up to date on my reading, but man, I struggled to get through some of the reading this week. I have a difficult time reading through all of the names even though I know how important lineage is in the Bible. I also had a hard time with Chronicles due to the fact of there being a good bit of repeated material from the books that we just read. (Just being honest.) Munchkin is doing her reading each evening. She wasn’t as excited about most of the reading this past week. She looks forward to moving on to…

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.

We homeschool year around. That means that we can take time off when Daddy is home or when company comes. It means that we can take time to enjoy the rare desert rain.

We don’t school for a set number of days and call it quits for the year. We complete the curriculum that we’re doing and then move on to the next year. That tends to make…

Posted in Christian Life
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because All flesh is as grass, An all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you. ~ I Peter 1:22-25 ~ For more…
This week, I was able to stay on top of the reading. There were a few nights where I really struggled to get the reading done because I was just so tired. Some other nights, I found myself reading more than was scheduled. Munchkin continues to do her reading each evening. Since she started a few days before me, she is ahead of schedule. She thinks some of the passages are quite gruesome, and she’s absolutely right. The Bible is point blank about many topics including the horrors of war, and the gruesome act of sacrifices. I always enjoy reading…
