I’ve been working hard to get my new family advent devotional book publishedin time for this Christmas season … and it finally happened!
If you order a copy directly from Amazon TODAY you will receive it on about December 2, so I ordered a bunch of copies that will be here November 29 (God willing!).
If you know anyone in the Memphis area who would like a copy, please let me know and I’ll sign and hand deliver it!
I use a drill book to give my children some independent work to review anything they need to memorize.
I can put in WHATEVER I want – Bible verses, catechism questions, spelling words, math or geography facts… The possibilities are endless!
One child can work on their personalized Drill Book while mom is working with a sibling.
Enjoy this quick 2 minute video, then get busy making your own!

I have been an online English teacher for 3.5 years and I LOVE IT!
I’m working on a curriculum to study Charlotte’s Web. Feel free to download the Chapter 1 vocabulary and comprehension questions.
This week I’m teaching a lesson about when Gideon’s army of 300 defeated Midian’s great army. (Judges 7)
This is a perfect song for that lesson. But it’s also a perfect song for today. Our God Reigns. He has not forgotten us. He can win every battle. He is worthy of our trust and our praise, yesterday, today, and forever.

Psalm 93
The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed;
he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the LORD on high is mighty!
Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore.
My heart goes out to everyone in my town of Collierville, Tennessee, following the tragic shooting that took place yesterday in our local grocery store.
I wish I could more, but I can pray and I can share the gospel. I want to do what God has equipped me to do.
Please pray for the friends and families of those who were shot as well as the shooter.
Please pray for the first responders and law enforcement officers working on the case.
Please pray for the Christians and churches in our area to be a beacon of light and hope in the darkness.
Please pray for revival all across our country and our world.
Come quickly, Lord, and in the meantime strengthen us to be about our Father’s business of sharing the good news of the gospel and making disciples.
Singing is a great way to memorize scripture! Here’s a little tune with some motions to help your family hide Joshua 1:9 in your heart!
“…Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”” – Joshua 1:9 ESV

Jesus is the true light of the world (John 8:12, John 12:46). He is the source of all that is good and light.
But the Bible also says that, as His children, we are the light of the world. (Matthew 5:14-16)
It reminds me of the moon. The moon cannot make its own light. The moon reflects the light from the sun. Likewise, I shine because God lives in me and His light shines from me.
I want to be a spotlight – pointing people to Jesus, the source of the light coming from me 👉 ✝️
“Glow In The Dark” by Jason Gray
Sometimes the world feels like a mess
Full of drama, full of stress
And life puts a fist right in your ribs
You can hide if you choose to
And no one would even blame you
Or you can let them see how you deal with it
That even in the darkest place
His love can make you radiate
Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is
Keep hoping, keep on shining
And they’ll see His light burning in your heart
And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up
Let the world see what you’re made of
That His love’s alive in your deepest parts
Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are
He made you to glow in the dark
Don’t be ashamed of your past
If you’re shattered like a piece of glass
The more broke you are the more the light gets through
Show your wounds and your flaws
Show them why you still need the cross
Let them see the work He’s doing in you
That even in the darkest place
His love can make you radiate
Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is
Keep hoping, keep on shining
And they’ll see His light burning in your heart
And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up
Let the world see what you’re made of
That His love’s alive in your deepest parts
Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are
He made you to glow in the dark
Doesn’t matter how deep, how dark the night is
Keep hoping, keep on shining
And they’ll see His light burning in your heart
And if the road gets rough, just keep your head up
Let the world see what you’re made of
That His love’s alive in your deepest parts
Like a flame, like a burning star you can shine right where you are
He made you to glow in the dark
Glow in the dark
Our God is the living God, enduring forever.
His kingdom shall never be destroyed.
His dominion shall endure to the end.
He delivers and rescues.
He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth.
– based on Daniel 6:26-27
May our mouths be full of kindness.
May the teaching of kindness be on our lips.
May we look well to the needs of our households.
May our children and our husband rise up and call us blessed.
May our hearts and minds be full of the peace, love, hope, and joy of Jesus Christ the Son of God who came into the world to save sinners like me!
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.” Proverbs 31:26-31
