Homeschooling from the Heart
My Dad and Me


For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on
Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Thy Word Have I Hid in Mine Heart

I've been having my children memorize more scripture lately, and thought I might invite others to join me, if they would like to.

Kids are quick with memorization, so I'm probably giving this too long, but we are going to memorize Psalm 1 by next Friday.  I figure on taking a day or two for each verse.

If you want to join me, leave a comment.  If you want to join me but have already had your children memorize that section, choose another section of scripture and let us know what you're going to memorize.

Psalm 1

1    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat
of the scornful.

2    But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.

3    And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4    The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.

5    Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6    For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.

I'll never forget an example I heard for verse one. For instance, you WALK into the breakroom where they are watching something like Jerry Springer. Next, you STAND there, watching the show for a bit. Next thing you know, you SIT down and make yourself comfortable in "the way of sinners." It's been years since I heard that example of this scripture, but it has always stayed with me.

Another thing I heard put into practice was when I was visiting a good friend from childhood near Cleveland. She refuses to read any secular books on parenting, marriage, etc. Why? Because she is not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly. I thought that was very insightful. I have adopted that one myself.
