Been A While

So it has been a while since I have posted here.  Christmas and New Year's Day have come and gone.  It is now almost the end of January.  It is hard to believe this month has come and gone so quickly.

We are working towards getting back into a routine with homeschooling.  Organizing and decluttering are two words that are heard frequently about our home.  Dennis is in the process of getting his re-enlistment paperwork filled out.  Life just seems to be moving very quickly and so slowly all at the same time.  

I am working on getting a Masters degree this year.  I have also become involved in something new, Bible Journaling.  So I am accumulating all kinds of information to assist me in the effort.  As I complete some things, I will be posting them here. One thing I have been doing with this is using PicMonkey to create Scripture Art. 

Here are two of my personal creations:

So what is going on in your world?  I would love to hear from you.

SATURDAY SAYINGS PLUS A WEEK IN REVIEW

So this past week, I completed several things that had been going on during the month of October.  The first thing I completed was the Ultimate Blog Challenge.  Yes, I actually managed to post something every one of the 31 days of October.  I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Another thing that finished was Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Study for The Best Yes by Lysa Terkeurst.  I led a small group on Facebook for this study.  The book was amazing.  One of my favorite things was the discussion about saying a small no in order to be able to say a "Best Yes".  I really enjoyed this book and learned so much.

At the same time these things were ending, new items were entering the stage.  For one thing is the NaBloPoMo November challenge, which I decided to participate in for the first time.  I am looking to really stretch and challenge myself.

Now onto Saturday Sayings:  We are a homeschooling family and are in our ninth year.  We often have interesting conversations.  So one of my sons earlier in the week asked a question.  And it was a very good question, if I do say so myself.  In music, why are there both sharps AND flats.  If you know anything about music, you know a sharp raises a note a half-step (and if music is not your thing, now you know this too).  A flat lowers a note a half step.  So really you could use one or the other and not need both.  But this child has really been coming up with some really good statements.

I hope you will come back next Saturday to hear more "Saturday Sayings".  Feel free to leave me a comment.  I would love to hear from you.
