I was convicted and inspired by this post.  Do you do this?  Do you read The Word with your family this often?  I think that the father of this family has given his children a priceless gift, they know what is supposed to be important.  Think about this statement:
"Parents taste conviction, confess, repent."  Wow. 
I know I've said it before, but find a way to read A Holy Experience, often. 


I just realized that I haven't gotten out our "Thankfulness Banner" this month!  Things have been pretty crazy-busy here and I'm just beginning to realize that the Holidays are upon us.  Sigh!  So as usual, I pick myself up, dust myself off and resolve to do what is important and try to ignore the unimportant.  Dear Lord give me strength and wisdom! Amen

Some links for Tuesday...


Sew Mama Sew is doing a month of Christmas projects. Definitely get over there and get some ideas, and while you are at it, comment and enter to win a prize.

Andrew Kern has written a great post on When and How to Teach Grammar. I love it when people write what I think, because I can't write so well. I especially love these quotes from the article:


"We must not think about grammar as an academic study. Life is not for school; school is for life. We should always teach grammar for the simple reason that we always do teach grammar."

"If you are speaking to another person, you are helping form the pattern of that person’s thinking. You are contributing to his vocabulary (maybe that’s more obvious), and you are also contributing to the structure of his thought.

If you constantly speak to your two or three year old child in one and two word sentences, that is how your child will tend to think. And that’s more or less OK with a one year old, less so with a two year old, and horrible with a three year old."

If you don't subscribe to Quiddity on your "reader" do so, you won't be sorry!

An excellent article...

Head on over to Reformation Theology to read this article:What Would Be The Point of Evangelism if Divine Election Is True?

I made chicken-broccoli alfredo last night.  Would you believe it is the first time I've made a traditional alfredo sauce?  The dish was very good, served with a salad and garlic bread.
Tonight we have an appointment until 5:30 and Conrad has proposed burgers from the local burger joint.  I'll take that offer!
Tomorrow, I have a roast thawed for pot roast...not sure how I'm going to flavor it yet, Korean, Mexican or traditional Anglo-Saxon with vegetables.

Well, we're having a busy day today...so I'm off!Gabriel and his Uncles 10-19-09 Gabriel and his Uncles.
