A song and Verse for the weekend. The Bible Stands

1 Peter 1:25
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Lyrics:
The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
’Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.
 Refrain

The Bible stands like a mountain towering
Far above the works of men;
Its truth by none ever was refuted,
And destroy it they never can.

Refrain

The Bible stands and it will forever,
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given,
All its precepts I will obey.

Refrain

The Bible stands every test we give it,
For its Author is divine;
By grace alone I expect to live it,
And to prove and to make it mine.

Refrain

Refrain 

The Bible stands though the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands.

Book Review: Evidence Not Seen

Evidence Not Seen, is the story of Darlene Deibler Rose. She was a newlywed, missionary New Guinea when suddenly her life new life was torn away by the events of WW11. She was told she would never see her husband again, and lived in a Japanese prison camp for 4 long years.  Through it all, God proves himself faithful even though it's not always visible, there is always Evidence Not Seen.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Her story is such a testimony of God's unfailing love and care for his children even through the darkest times of life. Even though she was told her husband was dead, forced to sign a false confession, and eventually face the executioner's sword, she never once gave up her faith in God. (Little did she know that she would be miraculously spared, and bring the truth of God's word to many who had never heard.)
In reading this book, you will laugh, you will cry, and you will find your faith and trust  in God and His word  strengthened by her true life story.  Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

A song and verse for the weekend: Amazing grace

Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered that the offence might be found. But where sin did abound, grace did much more abound.

Random Rambligs...

After a busy day of sewing, cleaning, piano lessons, Dr. app. etc, I'm watching Disney's Frozen with my 7 younger siblings while my Dad and Mom go out on a date. It's really fun when you can find a movie all of of enjoy watching together. Both the youngest (who is 2) all the way up to Faith and I love watching it.  And nothing beats watching a movie with siblings :)  
By the way, if you haven't watched Frozen yet you need to see it!

I've got this song in my head now :)

A song and verse for the weekend

My dad was singing this song this morning....so, since I didn't have a particular song picked out, I thought I'd post it :)
What are some songs y'all would like to be posted?
Psalm 36:5 They mercy, O Lord is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Field trip. Destination...Sedwick County Fire Station 34!

Today we had an unexpected twist to our school day. We went on a field trip. No one but Mom and our Homeschool group teacher knew about it until lunch...which made it all the more fun!
It was really amazing to go on the tour of the fire house and the trucks. I never realized before all that the firemen do. The one phrase that really caught my attention was what Firemen Chad said as he took us through the exercise room. Someone in our group asked why they exercise so much every day. His answer was, "We have to stay fit in order to do our job. Our health depends on it and you depend on it. If we aren't physically ready to meet what ever comes up, we endanger ourselves and and those who are depending on us." I had never taken into consideration how a fireman's job affects his life. And untimely ours as well.
Firefighters' Justin and Chad were both great tour guides and did a great job answering questions and enacting their job for us! It was a lot of fun!
Anyway, here's the pictures!

As a precaution, if the computers go out...they always have the books!

Equipment

Watching fireman Justin put on 75 pounds of equipment! The air tank is extremely heavy, you'd have to have strong shoulders!

Fireman Justin dressed in all the equipment...all 75 pounds worth!

Also, here is a link to watch a video of how fast Fireman Justin could put on the equipment. They are supposed to have it on and be in the truck in 1 minute 30 seconds. He got it done in 1 minute 15 seconds. It was really neat! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1458792641024873&l=3196640007777877548

(The link will take you to where the video was uploaded on my moms facebook. It will only take you to the recorded video. Nothing else.)
