Friday’s 40-Or-Less Photo Challenge

Salt & Pepper

Just as Jesus called us to be the salt of the earth, so let us also be the pepper - Add flavor (with truth) and spice (with joy!) to all that you do.

God bless and have a great weekend.

Wednesday Link Love

It’s been a while since I last posted, I know. There have been things.

I’ve been collecting links for a while now, so here’s a good portion of Wednesday linkage for you.

• Read this article that claims that sitting straight is bad for your back. (Does that mean I get to recline more?)
• Read a little about the California case against homeschooling and view the results for this poll with astounding one-sided numbers.
• Share and download all kinds of homeschooling resources at Homeschool Launch.
• An equation for measuring sleep deprivation caused by children waking in the night - this mom is only “proving” what we already knew to be true. She just made it sound a whole lot more scientific!
• Peruse this list of old and crazy Texas laws.
• Have you heard of Hypermiling? Even my hubby is now doing it.
• View the American Family Association’s current Action Alerts.
• See how this mom saves money and gives creative baby gifts at the same time.

What is the opposite of God?

God

All-powerful, Perfect

Loving, Amazing, Knowing

Sovereign  Creator  -  Evil,  Dark

Consuming, Obscuring, Infecting

Selfish, Painful

SIN.

This month’s poetic license featured the poetic form, Diamante. A form which begins with a subject, and ends with it opposite, and when centered looks like a diamond. (For more specific instructions see here.) My immediate thought was God and Sin. Nothing could be more opposite. But since we have a theme and this month’s theme is emotions or the great outdoors.. you can see that I’m not exactly following the rules here. So consider that one a freebie. If you want a rule-abiding, theme-following poem, you’ll have to read this one:

Breezes

Whispery Caress

Fleeting, Brushing, Skin-Kissing

Flowing  Gently.  Hushed.  Quiet.

Stopping, Ceasing, Halting

Still.

Imagine sitting outside on your porch swing listening to the birds sing, or on a mountain side admiring the beauty of the valley below - in all this seeing the evidence of God everywhere you look, His amazing creation that bears witness to his splendor.

God is good.
