Kyle's Christmas Book Recommendation

This is Pilgrims Progress as a Picture book for young readers. It is simply fantastic and teaches big truths with Bunyons own words! Instead of paraphrasing Pilgrims progress they simply took the meat of the story and present it in a smooth and flowing way. Now when we read the entire manuscript in JR High they will have this in their background to help them understand this wonderful Christian Text. My kids were begging to read the next chapter. It opened up great conversations into questions like...Why do Christians keep carrying their budens? Why it's important to stay on the straight path....

Great book...2 THUMBS UP!!

Why I love Awana....

My prayer for my children is that they would delight in the Father's laws(Psalm 119:174) and my hope is that I can see them walking in the truth.

The other day we were having school and Parker looked at me and said, "Mommy you're beautiful. I know it because: "God is truthful" and "God mad everything beautiful". I was stunned I just stood there looking at her...I know that I am not responsible for my child speaking like that!The Bible tells us we should speak to each other in Psalms and hymnns (Eph 5:19) , but a 4 year old? I should know by know his word never returns void!

Now I love Awana's because those are verses straight from Awana's Cubbies. To see the Lord working in her little 4 year olds life like that was breath-taking. At home we tend to focus on family & salvation verses like Ephesians 4:29, 6:1, Acts 6:31 ....Awana's compliments,enhances and improves on our studies! I praise God for Awana's, leaders, helpers, listeners and all.


"...speaking to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,..."Ephesians 5:19
