My Daughter's "Dream"

My daughter has recently turned seven and is learning about Martin Luther King this past week in school. Her teacher gave her a project at school - to write down what she dreams about. Now, we are used to the normal with her :

"I dream I'll be a princess one day..."

"I dream that I'll be a cook..."

"I dream that I'll be like Cinderella..."

...but it was what she wrote that touched me and her mother - so after almost being to the point of tears...I sat her down in front of a mic and had her read her "I Have A Dream" project from school.

Feel free to click on the link to hear her read it. I've also included the text below (in her cute mis-spellings) so that you can follow along.

I Have A Dream

by Amber Whitehorn

I want all people to not have to pay alot. because they mite use up all of their money and will be poor. so please don't use so much money.

I want all snakes to not have pooysen. because if they do the mite bite somewon and and that porson will be hurt. so work hard to not git close to a snake. I want all test to not be hard. because if it is you will git itleste something wrong.

I want every body to Love God and Jesus and beleave in God and Jesus. I want everybody to go to church. And when people go to church don't be mean cause God and Jesus don't respect that because that is a sin.

Book Review: The Word of Promise - The Gift of Psalms


Over the past few days, I've had the opportunity to read and listen to The Word of Promise - The Gift of Psalms from Thomas Nelson Publishers. This is, in my opinion, a must for worship leaders and worshipers everywhere. The books take a selection of some of the greatest and most impactful psalms as written in the book of Psalms. The Psalms are eloquently recited by various members of the entertainment community.

Have a hard time reading? No problem. This book comes with an audio version (included) on compact disk which makes it m ore convenient to "read". I was able to complete the book in my quiet time and while commuting back and forth each day.

Each Pslam selected has the Psalm set to music and is followed by a short devotional pertaining to the Psalm. Whether you are looking for your next favorite devotional book...or to learn more about the Psalms...this book/audio compilation is perfect!

BOOK REVIEW: For The Tough Times

For The Tough Times by: Max Lucado


Today, in my quiet time, I got a chance to read Max Lucado's For The Tough Times. At well less than 100 pages, this book is a small read - but speaks volumes of truth of how God always has, always is, and always will be in control.

Placed in the down-to-earth modern language of today that Lucado is known for, this book will inspire you to remember to let go...and let God. You'll look at familiar stories from the Bible in a new way while reading this book. I particularly liked Lucado's take on the story of Job.

All in all, the book is perfect for anyone going through any type of struggle or dark day in life. You'll find scripture-based inspiration to let you know that everything is in God's tender hands...even "for the tough times."

SONG SEARCH: "Lead Me To The Cross"

From Hillsong United comes a simple yet beautiful melody that is perfect for personal reflection or as a focus in worship. "Lead Me To The Cross" continues to prove that the latest Hillsong album is the best ever. I hope you enjoy.






Lead Me To The Cross

Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Chorus:
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh Lead me,
lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
Human
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Chorus

Bridge:
To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart
