What to make of Egypt?

Muslim and Arab societies are not suited to democratic systems. Their revolutions will merely result in replacing one autocratic ruler for another. The best-organized, best-equipped, most-prepared bodies to take over the revolutions in those countries being convulsed by protest are the Muslim radicals, such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Jordan.

Children have better eyes than ears...

Richard Greenham, who lived in the 14th century, wisely said:

"Experience teaches us that children like or mislike more by countenance, gesture, and behavior than by rule, doctrine, precept or instruction."

This prompts us to pray that what we know will first find its way to our own hearts.

Psalm singing in the Reformation

In the church where John Calvin preached in Geneva, they sang the psalms.   And we still have the tunes they used!  For a real treat enjoy hearing some of those beautiful old tunes.   Perhaps some will be resurrected!

Mississippi Pastors Defending Civil Rights of Unborn

By Rick Pearcey • January 3, 2011, 08:16 AM

"On Martin Luther King Day 2011, a special kind of civil rights movement will be birthed in Mississippi," reports OneNewsNow.
"Through the sponsorship of Pro-Life Mississippi, a group of black pastors is planning a Festival for Life for 'Civil Rights Day' January 17, which will take place at Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi."
According to OneNewsNow, "Several pro-life films will be shown at the festival. Life Dynamics' documentary, Maafa 21, which proves the abortion industry's genocide of black babies, will be among them."

A new blog on the psalms.

My husband, Harlan, has started a new blog called "Singing and Praying the Psalms of David."  He has loved singing the psalms for years and has led our family in doing so.   From him I also have learned to love singing the psalms.   He plans to feature specific psalms along with suggested tunes and also have some posts discussing the history and importance of singing psalms.
