Great Weekend at GHEA!

 This is Julia's booth before the GHEA conference started.  She had a lot to sell!

 The booths were usually very busy so it was hard to get a picture of all the people coming and going.  She did very well and sold quite a bit.  She also enjoyed seeing friends that she doesn't get to see often.

 Here is Mark and Steven's booth.  They also did very well and sold almost ALL of the weapons that they brought. 

People were amazed at the concept and parents of boys were really intrigued with the idea.  It was a great learning experience for the children to speak to customers.  They kept their cool even when their booths were swamped! 

You can download a free Shield and Buckler booklet from the Warfare by Duct Tape website.  Click here to go there.

All of the ebooks are available as a download from their websites.  Julia's is HERE.  The boy's website is HERE.

Julia is planning a freebie in the near future, so you may want to bookmark her website and check back later. 

I also had fun seeing friends, (Hi Vickie!) and others that I only get to see at the conference. 

Blessings,

New Blog Header

A special THANK YOU to my sweet daughter, Julia for creating this pretty new header!!  She is so gifted with graphic arts and always does such a good job making things look nice! 

The verse has a special meaning to me.  Trusting God from my youth.  It is really possible to trust God from the time one is small all the way through life!  Some people today don't believe this anymore.  They seem to believe that letting children "sow their wild oats" is normal.  It doesn't have to be this way. 

God desires that children be raised up to know and love him.  He wants us to love and serve Him all the days of our lives. 

     2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

God has given to parents the responsibility to teach their children the ways of God.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.  And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

What a promise, what a blessing when children are taught to love God and follow His ways.

Isaiah 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

May your days be peaceful,

SNOW! And LOTS of it.

Yesterday, we had the most amazing experience.  Tons of snow.  Ok, for Georgia it's tons of snow.  All of you north of the Mason-Dixon line can stop snickering now.  :)

Here are the chicken coops and garden area.

We got even more by the time it stopped.  Needless to say, my children were very excited.  They spent quite a bit of time outside romping and taking pictures. 

Check back for more. I have to see if I can get the video to work.

Blessings,

Children and Clean Homes

Check this out!  This is a quote from "The House That Cleans Itself".  According to a study done by the University of Michigan in 2001, "kids who are raised in clean homes are more likely to complete more school and have higher earning potential than those raised in dirty homes." 

Wow!  Does that motivate you?  It stands to reason that if things are orderly, more will get done and the family will be less distracted.  Very interesting....

Let's see...I've copied my floor plans and marked my zones.  I have the game plan.  Now the book says to take a "prayer walk" through my house.  Oh, how neat!  That's a new concept!  I like it!  It's on my list for tomorrow.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Stay tuned,
