'Officially' the First Day of Academia 2008

                                    Here it is! Labor Day, and our traditional FDoA!
  The Lord was so good to me last night; Dan was on shift at the firehouse, and as we were reading 'Hitty'  the Hauger book of the month, we heard loud explosions and fire engines... immediate prayer for the hedge of protection... and pick up the book again without hesitation.  Of course, after two more loud bangs, at the end of the chapter, Haley and I  ran to the back porch to see what we could see. Nothing. So we prayed again, and went to bed. 
 Sleeping, or so I thought, was going to be out of the question for me, since Dan was not to be home until 7am.  Thanks, God for the night of sleep!  ~ \0/ ~ And for the spirit of calm that You have always given me when my dear hubby is on shift for the 24 hours of his shift. I know that he is ultimately in Your hands, and the other guys he is with will do whatever they can to keep him safe, as he does them.
 As for academia this morning, we will start off with 'Picture This!' ,a Bible study where we will draw our own Bible in full by the end of the year!  COOL! {I think I purchased this product in 1996! Been WAITING for the kids to be ready!}  I just can't wait for the kids to share it with the families outside of our little four person circle!
  Blessings and prayers to our home school friends, few that they may be, strong and mighty for the LORD!
