Half of the year is almost over and I want to re-cap all we've done, but that will have to come later. Right now I wanted to share what we are doing during our devotion time. Check out Ann Voskamp's website at http://www.aholyexperience.com/. You probably already know she wrote the New York Times' bestseller One Thousand Gifts. If you sign up to receive e-mails, you can download her Jesse Tree devotional for Christmas. Every morning the girls and I light the Advent candles and read in the soft glow of candlelight. It has become a very special time for us. The readings so far trace glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament. All three of us are learning a lot and it is a beautiful way to start our school day.
