Next week we will begin a new series on "The Way of the Will." Charlotte had some wonderful ideas and insights about our children's wills and the shaping of their characters. Join us next week as we start the discussion, and be prepared for some "ah-ha" moments.
It is such a blessing that you offer so many wonderful freebies on your site.One of the ones that has been the most helpful to us over the past couple of years has been the Scripture Memory System.
We acquired Well Versed Kids (Navigators) scripture memory cards many years back and were never able to successfully use the program until we found the scripture memory system described on your site.
Thank you for helping those of us who are organizationally challenged!!
