Well, she tried for all of 2 seconds before throwing it on the floor and going the direct route.

Apple Orchard
One of the minor benefits of homeschooling is getting to go to the apple orchard on a Wednesday morning when there is almost no one else there. We had a great time feeding the animals, having cider and doughnuts, and just running around in the lovely orchard. Something we could not have let the 2-year-olds… Continue reading Apple Orchard
Lord Knows He Tried
Knowing that most of my readers find my love of hip-hop somewhere between quirky and annoying, I promise I won’t post on it too often. But permit me this once to commend to you an album called The Atonement by Shai Linne. The Lord has used this album, like an auger to dig into the… Continue reading Lord Knows He Tried
A Great Milestone
From the time we teach our kids the ABCs, we are constantly reminding them that it will one day be their great privilege to read the inspired Word of God all by themselves. Tonight Chris and I were amazingly blessed to listen to our Emily read this Psalm to us: Psalm 116 1 I love… Continue reading A Great Milestone
Be Killing Sin or It Will Be Killing You
It is a little known fact that the Spencer girls are slightly partial to rap music, especially Lucy. Before you stereotype, just think how many of you like country music and live within a mile of a cow, ok? A more well known fact is that we are also slightly partial to John Piper. … Continue reading Be Killing Sin or It Will Be Killing You
A Snake is a Snake is a Snake
The snake in the basement has been captured and released outside where it belongs. I’m not usually one to give away the ending, but when snakes are involved there is no reason to add to the drama. Yesterday, I was in the basement sorting out 9 loads of laundry. I hate laundry. I wish we… Continue reading A Snake is a Snake is a Snake
Family Fun
As expected the Evans family vacation was rich for blog material. Never a dull moment. Highlights include: My sister’s complete abandonment of self-awareness as she attempted to give an interpretive dance of our personalities (almost didn’t make it to the bathroom for that one). My Dad initiated a devotional time each morning from all the guys. … Continue reading Family Fun
Quotable Day
These are a few of my quotes from the day. It’s been a doozy. “Happy Birthday Lovey” “Yeah, I agree. Her head is much straighter” “Oooh. The carpet is sooo nice! I could run up and down the stairs all day. I guess I already do that.” “Loves! Help! I can’t keep everyone safe!” “NO… Continue reading Quotable Day
The Church’s One Foundation
The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word. From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth; her… Continue reading The Church’s One Foundation
Keep Me from Falling
Week 2 of swimming lessons started off very well. I was a little nervous for Maggie who seemed to be regressing a bit. If you didn’t catch my facebook status last week it started with, “Yesterday I (literally) threw a screaming 4-year-old into the pool. ..” I was relieved to find that Mr. G – was the teacher… Continue reading Keep Me from Falling
