African version of the Lord’s Prayer
My dear daughter fell in love with this African song, which is the theme song for a video game, Civilization IV. She looked up a translation for the song and found that it is in fact the Lord’s Prayer! Enjoy!

Lessons from Spider Man
“From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded.” Sound familiar? How about the Spider Man take on it: “With great power comes great responsibility”?

Help with making a blog
Want help making a blog? Over at MotherboardBooks.com, my computer-book publishing company for homeschoolers, I’ve been wanting to offer a product that shows newbies how to make a blog website. Here’s why: regular blog entries bring your website to the attention of the search engines. That’s a very good thing. The higher your Google ranking, the more readers you’ll have, because your site will be easier to find. I’ve converted nearly all my websites to blogs!

Angels Around Us, a guest post by Delia Latham
Psalm 91:11 – For he shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
My guess is that not one person who reads this post will find the above verse of scripture unfamiliar.

God’s Friday
Today is God’s Friday, which somehow turned into Good Friday in common English. But it’s still God’s Friday, as is every day.

Disappointed
I picked up an ebook at Amazon for my Kindle for a few dollars. It was tagged as “Christian Fiction,” and it looked like a nice romance with a supernatural element, just what I want to read.
I got into the book, and found it to be well written, with well developed characters and prose that kept the story moving. Then we got to the romance part, and WHEW! too steamy for me!

Was Rahab saved by her good works?
By faith we are saved, not by good works. It’s the cry of the Reformation, and it makes a lot of sense. If we are able to save ourselves through works, Jesus died in vain. But in the book of James, it sounds like Rahab’s deed saved her. Let’s look a little closer.

Ask, seek, knock
It’s a funny thing about miracles. You need to ask for them. If you don’t, they don’t happen. If you do, maybe they happen, maybe they don’t. It’s all up to God, whose ways are higher than our ways and whose thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
