With a planning personality, I love State of the _______ (fill in the blank) Addresses. I get to hear the "where we are" and "where we are going." It puts me in the know. As I am making changes to the ABC Jesus Loves Me website, I thought it might help if you knew the path I am starting to travel. With that said, ...

FAQ: My Library Doesn’t Have the Suggested Books
image shared by Jen Here is a frequently asked question: My library doesn't have many of the books suggested in the ABCJLM Curriculum. I can't afford to purchase all of them. What do I do? Following our weekly trips to the library, I would sit down with my kiddos to read from the collection of books we brought home. I would get so frustrated ...

Today is the conclusion of the four day series, "So Much to Tell You." If you missed the beginning post, please go back and read Day 1. Looking back over this series, I feel like a science experiment: Day #1 - Houston, we have a problem. Day #2 - Recognize the problem, unable to find solution Day #3 - Solution is found Day #4 - ...
So Much to Tell You: Message #2
If you haven't read the beginning of this blog series, please go back so that you understand the need I had for the messages.

So Much to Tell You
Finally, I get to sit down and write this blog. I am so excited to tell you what God is teaching me right now that I can barely stand myself. I seriously have thought how wonderful it would be to have a computer hooked to my brain so that all I had to do was think it, and it would type up the document. (Might be scary to see in writing some of the ...

When Do You Answer?
I love the bluntness of The Message. As I stated earlier, I am reading through the Proverbs using this "version" of the Bible. Here is an example: Proverbs 18:13 - Answering before listening is both stupid and rude. The Holy Spirit made these words pop off the page. How many times do I do that to my children? I assume ...
