Jan. 18, 2009 - Me Hat From England

"Last year my friend, Page from England, was so sweet as to send us some real English tea and chocolates. Page is one of the sweetest Christian women I’ve met yet. She loves the Lord and is definitely a thoughtful and  giving-person.

Jan. 15, 2009 - A Gentle Word

Do you ever find yourself speaking harshly and upsetting someone when you could avoided it with a gentle word? I know I have many times, and it is something I am working on and shall be, probably, forever. Sometimes it is so hard to just bit the tongue, swallow pride, and speak a gentle word rather a harsh one, no matter how much it may be deserved.

Jan. 8, 2009 - “Why Are You So Popular?”

The two most frequently asked questions I receive are “Why are you so popular?” and “How do you get so many comments/readers?” One of my friend’s comment made me laugh too: “I reckon you blog is the trunk of Homeschoolblogger and all the other blogs branch out of it coz everyone has you on their friends list.”

So, I decided to do an entire post about this subject for anyone else that might ask or wonder in the future. I told you in a previous post why I blog. While my blog started out as just a place to journal my homeschoool the Lord soon turned it into a weapon and tool for Him. I believe that in everything you do must have a purpose, glorifying to the Lord. My main mission now is to encourage ladies in the Lord.

Jan. 5, 2009 - My Cup Of Tea...

When you think of life in the 1800s what do you think of? Well, there are a few different types of settings I think of…. Pioneers, Easterners, and Victorian England (and of course Pride & Prejudice). Though all of these people live a different way and in different places, they all have one thing in common.. tea.

Back in the Victorian era, tea parties were an event to simply get together with your friends, with whom you shared common interest with, to have an enjoyable afternoon. Today in our century we don’t host “tea parties”, but we do plan events to get together with people and families of whom we enjoy their company. I have always thought very fondly of hosting a tea party, all dressed up, as the Bennett sisters would have been, or even as Anne and Dianna did in Anne of Green Gables (though theirs ended in disaster)...Read more

Jan. 3, 2009 - Awake, My Soul, And The Sun

The Bible calls us to give the Lord our first fruits, and what comes to mind for me, and many, is tithing, but what else are we to give the Lord of our first fruits? Though I fail continually I always try to give the Lord the first of my day in prayer and study of His Word. I start my day with meditating of His commands and His love so I might obey and be a witness for Him even to my family. How often do we skip....  Read More

Dec. 27, 2008 - Desires Of Your Heart

I’ve posted passages from this chapter in Psalms a few times. I think it really is comforting and promising on many accounts, but one that always sticks out for me is these three verses. In the previous verses it talks about your enemies and how the Lord will care for the, and is followed with these words... read more

Dec. 26, 2008 - Life-Size Noah's Ark

Have you ever wondered just how big Noah’s Ark really was? The Bible says exactly how big it is, but to see it live and in person would be something, wouldn’t it? Well, there is a man, a contractor by trade, named Johan Huibersa Dutch Creationist, who has built a replica of the ark out of cedar and pine. This amazing creation has been visited by more than 300,000 people, and though it’s only half of what the actual Ark would’ve been it usually takes visitors about 1½ hours to walk through.

I must say this is very impressive and would be a sight to see, but unless you’re taking a trip to Holland, the photos will have to suffice for now. You can click on them for a large image, and see Noah’s Ark Replica Schagen Netherlands.

Mr. Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy. Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top....Read More
