The Call of Winter
As winter stetches out a mysterious arm, welcoming us to its unknown charm. Cold, still, vast, and void. Branches stare back, empty and toiled. The warmth of summer, Hope of spring. My heart is warmed from within. As God's love shines upon our souls, and beckons us to him. With repentance we cry out to Him, cleanse us from this sin within. The gleam of light through heaven's door. The waves have brought me to the shore. I will be forever blessed, in my eternal home of rest.

Hmmmm?
I was just checking out the Humanist website link, that someone passed on. In bold letters down the middle of the page, it stated; "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." Probably? So, they can't say for sure. It reminded me of Pascal's wager, when he said that he couldn't lose by being right with God. It seems they are launching a very scathing and intolerant mission. Their aim is to have creationism banned and faith schools stopped. They say they are fed up with children being indoctrinated! Hang on a minute, just what are they doing with their children and propose to do with everyone elses? Err, it couldn't be indoctrination could it? Wha

Gifts and Giving
I have been working hard on Christmas and getting everything ready, so I can sit back and relax in December......well, hopefully! Here in the UK councils are taking the Christ out of Christmas, as it may just be offensive to other religions, but can we celebrate Christmas without Christ?  It seems people want to have the gifts, without acknowledging the great giver of life and of gifts. We would not be here on Earth, if it was not for God. He created us and it is an afront to him, when we think we can carry on our lives without him. What is life without God? It is empty and barren. If we do not believe in anything, then our life is meaningless. Whether we celeb

My Salvation is Priceless!
I was thinking today how little wealth and riches matter, when we consider eternity. We can be rich in this life and in need of nothing, but lost for eternity! Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? " It is true, so true. We are born into the world with nothing and shall return with nothing. The Egyptians thought they could take it all with them, but when archeologists have uncovered tombs, they have found the treasures still intact, apart form what was stole by tomb robbers! We have a soul that never dies, our soul lives forever. We may die, but our soul lives on. Oh may it be that we live on forever in eter

Getting colder
Now it is November, it is getting colder. We inevitably end up spending more time indoors and end up getting more done. This month finds us preparing for Christmas, which means we are sorting presents and making lists. I find it sooo helpful to get everything done before the big rush. I make a list and the items just get ticked off. On the homeschool front, Hosey and Kezzy are learning to read and write, they are doing the work together. I find it helps, as they spur each other along. Cherry finished her first book, a while back and I am still editing that.
