Something New:

Also, the new book we will be reading for the HSB Literary Club is: Helen’s Temper - Lamplighter
Helen and Betty could not be more different in their perspectives of the destitute people that live around them. When Helen, the old sister, hears the story of the Good Samaritan she is rewarded for her classroom achievements, while the other sister chooses to live the example of the Good Samaritan. As Helen lives for herself and is constantly worried about the opinions of others, Betty searches for ways to be a blessing to others. When faced with the realities of living the life of the Good Samaritan, Helen reveals the treachery of her own heart as she mercilessly withholds good from a dirty street urchin. This is a story that reaches the heart, especially when you read how Helen responds to unexpected mercy and forgiveness she did not deserve.
Author: Mrs. George Gladstone

A CD I have not been asked to review, but I will give you a blurb right now anyway:
‘Tis So Sweet CD by Steve Sensenig - Worship Keys
If I can sum it up for you: LOVE IT. You can find it at The Schoolhouse Store. There are a few technical things, like fading, but I honestly had asked Jocelyn the very night before if we had an instrumental hymn cd or something similar, and the next day, an envelope came from our dear friends Paul and Gena, and there it was! I immediately popped it into the laptop. I love it. Steve is an extraordinary pianist, and we all love it! Amanda even asked me if she could take it with her the other day when she was going into town. Sorry, I said, “No way!

Seasons at Home Magazine by JoyousHome.com

LOVE this magazine. It is all-encompassing. It is for girls and moms, but also sets a family atmosphere. The present issue is supposed to have articles about home birthing, and I cannot WAIT to read it! I love the issue I have with its recipes, crafts and even a couple of articles that, as Amanda pointed out, could be used as unit studies.I am looking forward to writing a very positive review for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.

Have a BLESSED week!
