I'll photo copy it for you so you too can feel loved by the President. (((warm fuzzies))) :)

We'll be in town from the 18th through the 27th or something like that. I've missed you so much. I was just thinking about you last night.

*feels loveded* Thanks!!!

Awww, I miss you too!!

The 18th is Shannon's birthday so I'm sure I'll be tied up then. Mom and Dad will have my older sister's girls so we'll have to work out family time around their schedule.

Read All Of It

Read: Psalm 119:97-112

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. —2 Timothy 3:16

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 47-48; 1 John 3

---

Some Christian families follow the practice of reading through the whole Bible. After evening meals, they read a chapter or two. They read from Genesis to Revelation, skipping nothing. Even the genealogies with their hard-to-pronounce names are read aloud.

We might question the relevance of such a method for small children, but it does acquaint all the family members with the entirety of God's Word. It also exposes children to the sinful depths and spiritual heights of which we are capable, and it teaches them right and wrong.

If you've never done so, why not embark on your own program of reading the Bible straight through? Try doing it as a family or for your personal devotions.

There are two persuasive reasons for resolving to undertake such a program. One is Paul's declaration that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable (2 Timothy 3:16). The other is the testimony of believers whose lives have been changed by following such a practice.

Read God's Word straight through and you'll begin to see the unfolding plan of God's redeeming grace, and that you were the object of His love even before you were born. Do it once, and you'll want to do it again. —Vernon Grounds

Oh, may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight,
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light. —Steele

Those who only sample the Bible never acquire a taste for it.

Festival at Amy’s

There is a rule for festivals, and this is how it goes,
Assuredly it’s something that just everybody knows.
Every festive party, and every jolly place,
Deserves to have some friends around, with smiles upon each face.

So enter, friend and wear your smile, and all your jolly clothes,
We wouldn’t want to flout a rule that everybody knows.
We’ve minstrels and refreshments, and a strolling bard or two,
And I’m sure you’ll find a message that is meant for only you.
