Thanks for the link, Gwendolyn. I think you spelled my blog name wrong, however. :) It's SprittiBee, not SpiritBee. I think that's funny, though - because one of my inlaws called it that as well. It is a rather strange name. I have had people google it as such, also.
How imbarasing. I caint even spel nuttin rite. And I homeskool my childrun. he he
Thanks for pointing that out Sprittibee. I believe I have made the proper corrections.
BTW- Why does word verification come up when I comment on my own blog?
Redemption is too involved -- that's ironic, isn't it. It was for One, who in accomplishing it made it so simple for us to benefit.
I think I'm going to be encouraged in my own homeschooling by your new blog. Keep posting, I'll keep reading.
Thanks Sprittibee for emailing me permission to delete your comment. I will however, leave it as an example that I know my imperfections, few though they may be.
Grafted Branch, if One can teach it to my kids, I'd be forever grateful. I was trying to find my son a biblical alternative to all those demon dealing cards.
You know when I used "One" here in this context I was speaking of Jesus -- not my first born! Ha ha!
Maybe I need to find a new moniker for my kids. It's too confusing.
GB, that's too funny. I guess my kids arn't gonna learn the card game. However, they have the real thing down pat. I'm really proud of the kind of people my children are growing up to be - in spite of me.
