I never really liked that song but it is a fitting title for today.  LOL  The days are getting so hot here.  We have had temperatures in the 100's for several weeks and we are doing our best to stay cool.  We are spending our afternoons reading and relaxing because it is just too hot to do much of anything else.  We spend our evenings at the pool, too. 

Some of my recent reading has included a great little magazine called TEACH.  I have shared with you about this magazine before and I really enjoy reading it.  The articles are not really time consuming and I can read in snippets.  I have been carrying it around in my bag all week and reading as I have had a few minutes here and there.  It is about more than teaching.  It is really about all the teachable moments.  There are articles on schooling our children, raising our children, taking time for family, and for ourselves,  and for making lovely homes to nourish our loved ones.  It is a magazine about homemaking and homeschooling but it is spiritually encouraging, too. 

The Summer Issue Theme is Quiet Times in Loud Homes.  I cannot tell you how perfect that is for me right now.  With Dan being gone it has been 24/7 with kiddos.  The only break I have had is getting out to go to school.  I have had no time to take a walk or do much for myself until after the kids are in bed at night.  Many of us struggle with finding time to just be still and know that HE IS GOD.  In this issue of TEACH there are lots of articles to encourage us in this stage of life.  There are some beautiful articles that address the importance of finding that time to be quiet and to seek the LORD.  I encourage you to take a look at the website and consider this magazine as an encouraging edition to your reading.  I know you will love it!
