In our Around the World studies, we are headed to China next! There is just SO MUCH to cover with China! We have covered China in the past with various unit studies, like the Olympic unit back in the summer of 2008, as well as various other studies. This time around there are a few things I want to make sure that we cover, that we haven't covered in the past. The Great Wall, Chinese New Year, and ancient China are a few of those new topics. I'd also like to review some geography of ... Read More about Headed to China!
Brother Andrew
You may remember that with our study of Russia, we are learning about a missionary named Brother Andrew. Brother Andrew, who is still alive today, was a Dutch man who smuggled Bibles into countries behind the Iron Curtain.

Challenge: Read the Bible in 90 Days!!
I've decided to GO for it! :) I first heard about this challenge from a blogging friend, Kimberly, at Raising Olives. I actually thought it over and prayed about it for days. On Christmas Eve I felt like the Lord was asking me to give this to Him as a gift to Him. A gift of my time. A gift of my commitment and devotion to Him.So, I'm going for it. I'm a bit afraid of this commitment. I've tried reading the Bible through in a year...and usually get stuck in Deuteronomy. :) So, maybe reading it a ...
