Last night after posting pictures of my cards on Facebook, I had some people ask for my list of children's church songs.  Here's the 50 that I came up with. Some of the recommendations that I was given, I didn't know, so didn't include. I knew these songs, so they made my cut.  You may know some of these by another name. A few are not really kids songs, but songs I learned as a kid. Jesus Loves Me Jesus Loves the Little Children Oh, How I Love Jesus There was a Little Boy Named David Zaccheaus Was a Wee Little Man The Wise Man Built His House Upon a Rock I Want to Be Like Daniel, I Want to Be Like Ruth Creation Song Daniel (in the Lion's Den) / (Who did swallow) Jonah He's Got the Whole World in His Hands The B-I-B-L-E In right, Out right, Up right, Down right, Happy all the Time Books of the New Testament Books of the Old Testament The Apostles I've Been Redeemed Love is Something If You Give it Away This Little Light of Mine It i...

Here's what I'm working on tonight... Our kids at church are missing out on a lot of songs they have never heard, so I like to try to teach songs. The poor children will undoubtedly learn them off pitch if I'm teaching them, but... So, I'm making a deck of cards for them to draw from so that we can pick a variety of songs in the Kindergarten class each week. I came up with 50 that I know (although I had to print some of the words out since I don't remember all of them at the moment). It's late tonight, so I'll share my list tomorrow or sometime next week. Thanks to everyone who contributed their favorites on my Facebook comment tonight. You really helped me finish off my 50 cards.

During the summer, there is such a drought of watchable TV, I guess that is my excuse for watching The Bachelorette . It really is getting dumber by the season. I would watch the Texas Rangers play, but they are depressing me, and I'm a die hard. Actually, this week I just listened online, then had to listen again to type this. This week's big group date is playing dodge ball. If that weren't stupid enough, they warmed up against professional dodge ball players. Why is that even a profession? And could the clothes the bachelors played in have been any dumber? Only one guy had to go to the emergency room, because he broke a finger. Shaggy hair Brooks. Insert dramatic hospital scene where they set his finger. Drama. Drama. Drama. The team that won the best two out of three rounds got to spend more time with Des. Someone makes a remark about it being down to the end, the bottom of the ninth inning of the World Series, two outs... Another random guy whini...

An interview with Beth Vogt, Author of Catch a Falling Star Is there ever a point when you should let go of a dream?
