1 . I am thanking God an praising Him for celebrating 12 years of marriage earlier this month. I do believe that marriage is the best sanctifying experience ever. You grow, you laugh, you cry and have so much memories. The Lord has been so good to us, Glory to His Name! We celebrated witha  steak dinner which made everyone happy. 2. Finally some spring weather, yeah!!!! 3 . This month I have been enjoying listening to some live stream conferences ( Ligonier and Together for the Gospel ).

I am really excited  to tell you about a Math program that my boys have been enjoying for the past couple of months: CTC Math . Because Math is such an important school subject, I am always intrigued by Math curriculum and always willing to try them out. When the chance to review the 12 month family Plan from CTC Math came up, I jumped on the opportunity. No regrets to report. What is CTC Math? CTC Math is an online Math curriculum that describes itself as an online Math Tutor. It is geared for kids from Kindergarten to High school. How it works: You need a computer, internet access and a log in. The way the program works is that you watch a video with a teacher that explains to you the math concepts. The really neat thing about this program is that you (the student) have full control of the video, that is, you can stop it at any time, rewind, forward etc... Once you complete the video, you have a chance to do a set of exercises (usually 10-20 questions) to help you master

Once and for All  (Chris Tomlin) Once and for all, the Father’s love He is the light in the darkness He took on flesh and took our place The weight of the world on His shoulders The weight of the world on His shoulders Chorus: We believe our God is Jesus We believe that He is Lord We believe that He has saved us From sin and death once and for all Once and for all, our debt is paid, There on the cross it is finished!

Powerful, wonderful hymn, we need to sing more often. How Sweet and Awesome is the The Place Isaac Watts VERSE 1  How sweet and aweful is the place  With Christ within the doors  While everlasting love displays  The choicest of her stores  VERSE 2  While all our hearts and all our songs  Join to admire the feast  Each of us cry with thankful tongues  “Lord, why was I a guest?”  VERSE 3  “Why was I made to hear Thy voice  And enter while there's room  When thousands make a wretched choice  And rather starve than come?”  VERSE 4  ’Twas the same love that spread the feast  That sweetly drew us in  Else we had still refused to taste  And perished in our sin  VERSE 5  Pity the nations, O our God  Constrain the earth to come  Send Thy victorious Word abroad  And bring the strangers home  VERSE 6  We long to see Thy churches full  That all the chosen race  May with one voice and heart and soul  Sing Thy redeemin

One of our recent review item has been an online science curriculum called Supercharged Science . We received a one year subscription to the e-Science Premium membership. Supercharged Science is a hands-on, complete K-12 science curriculum written by a very knowledgeable scientist (BA and MA in Mechanical Engineering and worked on rockets at NASA). Supercharged Science is a full program rich in experiments. The author took the time to prepare videos of a vast, and I mean vast, number of experiments in every science topics out there. She included explanations of the experiments in written form, as well as in the videos themselves. It is an online program which means you need a computer, internet connection and a log in. The material covered can be searched by topics or grade levels. Topics covered include: Mechanics Motion Matter Energy Sound Astrophysics Chemistry Light  Electricity Magnetism Alternative energy Thermodynamics Electronics Life scienc

Another one of my favorite hymn:  Great God of Wonders Samuel Davies Great God of wonders! All Thy ways Are matchless, Godlike and divine; But the fair glories of Thy grace More Godlike and unrivaled shine, More Godlike and unrivaled shine. Who is a pardoning God like Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Or who has grace so rich and free? Crimes of such horror to forgive, Such guilty, daring worms to spare; This is Thy grand prerogative, And none shall in the honor share, And none shall in the honor share Who is a pardoning God like Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Or who has grace so rich and free?  Angels and men, resign your claim To pity, mercy, love and grace: These glories crown Jehovah's Name With an incomparable glaze With an incomparable glaze. Who is a pardoning God like Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Or who has grace so rich and free?
