Welcome

Welcome to our place...just two steps away from the funny farm! To explain this name, whenever things get crazy at our house, I always say "Well, we are just two steps away from the funny farm!" As a very busy homeschooling family, things DO sometimes get a bit chaotic. But we love this life of living and learning together and there is never a dull moment!

The picture of the beautiful Amish farm on this page was taken while we were on the Strasburg Railroad.

My friend Amanda on her blog, Just a Small Part of the Bigger Picture, announced the winner of her giveaway of Bible memorization software and I won! I am so excited about this and I believe this will really help our family to learn our Scripture passages each week. I have no excuse now not to memorize!

Please visit his site and watch the demo to see how this product works. I think it is a great tool for the whole family or a whole class - it keeps track of everyone's progress and each one can go at his or her own pace. You can enter whatever verses you choose and there is no limit on the number of verses! As you learn the new verses, older ones can also be reviewed.

This week's Scripture passage

We are treasuring God's truth in our hearts, along with the youth group at our church. Each week, there is another verse or verses to learn. We would be so happy to have others join with us! We are learning the verses in the NIV, which is the version most people are using. So here are the verses for this week...

Topic: God's Jealousy
Reference: Isaiah 48:9-11
"For my own name's sake I delay my wrath;
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to cut you off.
See, I have refined you, though not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?
I will not yield my glory to another."

A great tool for memorizing God's Word

The youth group at our church has been given the challenge to memorize a Bible passage for each week of this year. Families of all the teens are encouraged to join in and also memorize these verses! I am very excited about this, yet memorization is really, really hard for me and I know this will take effort and discipline on my part. Thankfully, there is a resource that can make this a bit easier for me!

My friend Amanda is having a giveaway at her blog - Bible memorization software! I just watched the demo and it looks fantastic! You can also get a 30 day free trial there. Be sure to check out Amanda's blog to enter for a chance to win the software for free! And her blog is wonderful too!!!

This week's verse for us is on God's righteousness.

Dueteronomy 32:4 "He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he."

I'll be posting a new verse each week and we would love for you to join us in treasuring God's Truth in our hearts!
