Heb. 4:12

And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

By any other name…

This week’s assigned Bible Read­ing was Gen­e­sis chap­ters 17–20.
After read­ing chap­ter 17, we started talk­ing about how Jeho­vah changed Abram and Sarai’s names.  The girls didn’t quite under­stand the rea­son for the name change, so that lead to a con­ver­sa­tion about the mean­ing of names.

I then looked up our names online to find the mean­ings of […]

Revolutionary Dames!

Par­don the title.  Today, we read a book of that title.  It tells about the role of women dur­ing the Amer­i­can Rev­o­lu­tion.  It was quite inter­est­ing, and we all learned some­thing (The teen, too!)

We are cook­ing our Revolutionary/Colonial style meal today.  I did change things up a bit — instead of bak­ing a loaf of bread, […]

Her-story… His-tory

Since the begin­ning of the month, we’ve been learn­ing about The Amer­i­can Revolution.

So, I […]

WW!">Another great WW!

Since we’ve began read­ing Gen­e­sis at the TMS, we’ve learned a lot more about Noah. So, today, we watched the DVD about Noah, and then took the quiz at the end. All did very well at pay­ing atten­tion dur­ing the movie, because they answered all the ques­tions cor­rectly!
I think next week, we’ll watch […]

Out of the Mouths of Babes!

Joe took the girls shop­ping yes­ter­day for a new dress. Joe found one that he actu­ally loved, but it had no price.
They ask a Sales lady to help them get a price. The Sales lady said, “Oh, this is such a pretty dress. You can wear it for Easter.“
My youngest, in a […]
