Please excuse the dust...

I am doing some "Spring cleaning" on my blog, so please excuse the dust. My daughter is editing my new header and should be done in a few days. I am just so excited that spring is almost here!

I'm Back :o)

I am back from my extended bloggy break. I not only took a break from here, but we took a break from school too. I have to say, it was so nice :o) We had family in for Thanksgiving and we were all able to get together for 3 nights in a row! We ate, played games, and just enjoyed one another.

We have done a modified school week this week, very modified, as in just math for book work and some DVD's from the library. This week got cold and it was nice to just stay in our cozy house and watch movies. We watched a National Geographic on Grand Central Station, a movie about the Great Wall of China, and a Frontline about Mormonism. Very interesting stuff :o)

I am making Christmas gifts this week too. Simply Susan had a Quilt wall hanging tutorial a few months back and I used some Christmas fabric to make one. It is turning out so cute! I will take pics next time.

Bloggy Break

I am taking a bit of a bloggy break this week. I didn't get a lot of what I had planned done last week on our "break" (the weather was too nice :o) ). Time to catch up! I'll be back next week on Monday. Have a wonderful rest of the week! Here are a few snippets of what I read in Romans this morning:

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: but ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?

God forbid.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants of God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:12, 14-15, 22-23
