Because Jesus was born at Christmas, we can know that he is with us always. This board book by author Jared Kennedy helps toddlers and preschoolers understand the true meaning of Christmas in a personal, memorable way.   Jesus Came for Me  is part of The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible series. For children ages three to seven, this beautifully illustrated book begins with the announc...

I have tried to teach this version to other groups and bombed. I have played a really bad YouTube YouTube version of a guy teaching it, and that was horrible.  The Old Testament books can be hard, and I never knew a song as a kid, so it's hard for me to find a song that works. Check last week's post for another version that some of the kids knew pretty well from home. Books of the Old Testament To the tune of “Ten Little Indians” Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth First and Second Samuel, First and Second Kings, First and Second Chronicles. Oh Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations. Oh, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.

Sometimes the adults know something that should be said out loud, like, “Thanks be to God!” How did they know what to say? What is communion all about? And why does the pastor raise his hands and pray at the end of the service?   Using the vision of Isaiah ...

This is what you learn when you ask, "there's an Amos?" during scripture races! Books of the Old Testament are hard. I'll post another version next week.  Books of the Old Testament To the tune of “Did You Ever See a Lassie” Let us sing the books of Moses, of Moses, of Moses, Let us sing the books of Moses for he wrote the Law. First, Genesis; second Exodus; third, Leviticus; forth, Numbers; And fifth is Deuteronomy, the last of the Law. Let us sing the books of history, of history, of history; Let us sing the books of history which tells of the Jews. There’s Joshua and Judges and the story of Ruth, And First and Second Samuel, and First and Second Kings. Then First and Second Chronicles which give us the records; Then Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther the Queen. Let us sing the books of poetry, of poetry, of poetry; Let us sing the books of poetry, the songs the Jews sang. Job the patient, Psalms of David and the Proverbs or a wise...

Soul Anatomy is a biblical guide for working through emotional turmoil in a gospel-centered way. It shows how the Psalms serve as a God-authored script by which to express every category of the human experience. The Bible's inspired hymnbook guides believers through the highest summits and lowest troughs of life and invites the not-yet believer to a Redeemer who ultimately experienced all of the emotions of these prayers in his incarnation. Author George ...

These little third graders here are eighth graders now. They will be in high school next year! They are so itty bitty here!  Oh, this bunch loved to sing! I’ve Been Redeemed I’ve been redeemed. (girls echo) By the blood of the Lamb. (echo) I’ve been redeemed, (echo) By the blood of the Lamb. I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, Filled with the Holy Ghost I am! All my sins are washed away, I’ve been redeemed. Well, I went down,  to the river to pray… Felt so good that I stayed all day… And that’s not all, there’s more beside… I’ve been to the river and I’ve been baptized…             My God and I, we both agree… That I love Him and He loves me… The devil and I, we both agree… That I hate him and he hates me…

I didn't plan quite right again. I ended the week eating three days of carrots, and I think they planned for a family of four over two meals this week. Forget Lasik, I think my eyesight may improve to 20/20 after this week. These chicken legs were awesome fixed in the air fryer! This is my second take at coucous which I like, but I'm not convinced garlic and lemon go together. (Do you notice a theme in all these food posts?) This was another good one! I roasted the carrots after shortcut microwaving the last ones. I did the potatoes in the oven too, but as whole potatoes. The "dipping sauce" was the equivalent of ranch dip, so who doesn't like ranch dip spread over their food? While the pork chops were cooking, I also made the potato soup so I could keep up with my box arrivals and cooking everything in a week. I liked the corn and potato chowder I had made before better. It was much more successful than the last time I tried potato soup though. If y...
