David Phelps
A week or so ago I posted a song from Luke Garrett and made a comment about David Phelps maybe having to "take a back seat". I want to play on the word "maybe"; I didn't say he had to. Ha! Ha!
I love to hear David Phelps sing and he probably is my favorite. His voice is warm and not squeaky. I'm posting this video to honor him. I did some research on you tube and found this video. After the reprise David hits an F5. I have to say that is very impressive. You can play the note on your keyboard with his voice. It will be the F note in the 5th octave range. Some facts about David:
Age: 41(I'm 6 months older) - heeee, heee!
He has 4 children
His wife is Lori and they've been married for 12 years
He has been with the Gaithers since 1998
This is for you Munck girls.
Our Mother
"O" is for all the obstacles she overcomes with us,
"T" is for all the tears she sheds over us,
"H" is for her heart of gold;
"E" is for her everlasting Godly spirit,
"R" is for how she remembers us at all times.
My "Missy" is truly a Proverbs 31 woman. I will never be able to repay her for all she is to me and our children. God gave me the best, and I will never deserve her.
Happy Mothers Day Honey!!!
| The Proverbs 31 Woman : |  |
 |  |
| 10An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. 11The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. 12She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. | Her Character as a Wife |
| |
| 13She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight. works joyfully 14She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar. 15She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And portions to her maidens. 16She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17She girds herself with strength And makes her arms strong. 18She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night. 19She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle. | Her Devotion as a Homemaker |
| |
| 20She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy. | Her Generosity as a Neighbor |
| |
| 21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. 24She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen. | Her Devotion as a Homemaker |
| |
| 25Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. 26She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. | Her Influence as a Teacher |
| |
| 27She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. 28Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: 29"Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all." | Her Effectiveness as a Mother |
| |
| 30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 31Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates. | Her Excellence as a Person |
One Of The Greatest
Luke Garret has to be one of the greatest tenors in Christian music.
David Phelps (one of my favorites) may have to take a back seat to this pioneer.
Luke has been singing for over 20 years. His travels have taken him to every state in the union as well as to Asia, South America, the Middle East and Europe. He has sung for numerous Presidents, various denominational national conventions, state conventions, evangelism conferences, music conferences as well as for the local church, various charities and prison ministries. Pause the music player below and sit back and worship as you listen to one of his greatest songs "Arise".
Ken Ham
From all the information I gather; this is the BIG reason Ken Ham was kicked out of the Cincinnati Home School Convention.
You listen and see if any Biblical "Sound" Christian would disagree with him. I also don't think Ken Ham's "spirit was unkind"
as he addresses the un-orthodox teaching of Peter Enns, but Great Homeschool Conventions sure thought it was.
God help us!

Karen Peck and New River-Brian Free and Assurance
Last Saturday Morgan, Katie and I went to a concert at South Cleveland Church of God. We got to see Karen Peck and New River and then we saw Brian Free and Assurance. We met our friends Cindy, Beth and Maria there and we all had a great time. We heard some beautiful songs old and new. Katie heard a new song (well actually new to her) and I think she is going to try to sing it at church soon. I got a chance to talk to Karen Peck and she was just as sweet as she could be. She is a homeschool Mom and just graduated her oldest. He was also with the group and played guitar. Outside it was a huge rainstorm and you could hear it too it was so loud. On the inside we were enjoying some great songs. We hope to hear both groups again sometime.

******************
We are going to start reading the Viking Quest series by Lois Walfrid Johnson tonight as a family. Morgan found them at the First Baptist Library and wanted to buy them with her birthday money. They have such good Irish history in them so we thought tonight would be a good night to start (to learn more about this series you can go HERE.)
I hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

Slave?
Ask yourself as a Christian:
Do I go where my Master says I can go?
Do I talk as my Master wants me to talk?
Do I act like my Master wants me to?
Do I really have a Master??
Very respected pastor and author John MacArthur gives us some insight.

Blog Under Construction-New Things Ahead
In our spare time we have been doing new things to our blog. It is currently "under construction" and changing a little bit here and there. Morgan has been investing some of her free time learning the ins and outs of blog design. She enjoys learning new things and this one is definitely something that you can put a lot of time into. We hope to be updating our Family page soon also. Here are a few things we are planning to do when time allows. 1. Right now Morgan plays piano and is also instructing Josiah, Katie and Jacob on the piano. Sammy is teaching Josiah some beginning guitar and Josiah just got his own guitar to learn with. Morgan and Katie have become very interested in the Irish Whistle. Sarah loves to sing lots of songs and anything from the musical Sound of Music. Samuel mostly just likes to dance to the music. With all this music going on we hope to add pictures of them with their instruments and also let you hear some of it too on our Music page. 2.As far as our homeschooling page we want to expand on what we do and also post pictures to remind us of all we've done through the year. 3. For our What we believe page we want to clearly share our beliefs and also expand on our family worship time together. We also may throw in things about our church on this page and all the exciting things that are going on there. Thank you to all of you who visit with us and we hope that our family is a blessing to you. Now if we can just get all these things accomplished! We are excited to see what God has in store for us this year.
