So last week we began school. Liz and Ally began kindergarten and preschool. We worked in the workbooks and did some flash cards.
This week was an official beginning of the lesson book "Complete Daily Curriculum For Early Childhood". It's the same book I used for Evie in our first year of homeschooling. Anyway, so the first lesson in the book is the human body. We named the parts of the body and what they do. Then we sang songs like "head, shoulders, knees, and toes" and "if you're happy and you know it". It was super cute to watch them laugh and giggle. I especially enjoyed the planned opportunity to spend time teaching my two little girls.
The purpose of my post tonight is to record some of the really great answers that Ally and Lizzy gave when we discussed the things that certain parts of the body do. It went like this:
Mom: what is on top of our heads?
Ally: hair
Mom: what's it for?
Lizzy: ponytails!
Mom: what do our eyes do?
Lizzy: blink!
Mom: what does our nose do? (Smell, right?)
Lizzy: wiggle!
This one cracked me up. By the time we'd gotten here I realized they were not going to give the answers I thought they were. This answer came with a few intense moments trying to get our noses to wiggle.
Mom: what do our fingers do?
Lizzy: tickle! (Followed of course, by some giggling moments as we tried out our tickly fingers.)
Mom: what do our feet do?
Ally: stomp!
Mom: what is our mouth for?
Lizzy: la, la, la, laaaaaa. Singing!
Then we had to stop and sing some silly things.
Mom: what do we do with our bodies?
Lizzy: wiggle. Ally: twirl and hula!
Of course, now we had to sing, twirl, hula, and wiggle all at the same time. I got a bit more exercise than I had planned. The most amazing part was a wonderful look into the imaginations of my girls. Way to think outside the box. If you really think about their answers though and then remember what a couple of two and three year olds do on a regular basis their answers are perfect. How boring would that lesson have been if they had given me what I thought I wanted!
I love homeschooling!

WHY DO CHURCH LEADERS QUOTE MEN WHO TEACH DOCTRINE CONTRARY TO SCRIPTURE?
Why do preachers of the gospel quote men who pervert the Scriptures? Why would you ever quote these men in a positive light? Why would church leaders ever believe men who teach and preach doctrine contrary to Scripture are worthy of being quoted.
Max Lucado Quote: "We never taught--the buzzphrase is baptismal regeneration, where you go into the baptistery lost and come out saved. We never taught that. Now, I am not saying there were not people in our church who believed that..."
Water baptism is essential to salvation. (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21).
Why would any serious church leader quote Max Lucado in a positive light?
John Piper Quote: "We are not saying that final salvation is unconditional. It is not. We must meet the condition of faith in Christ in order to inherit eternal life. But faith is not a condition for election. Just the reverse. Election is a condition for faith. It is because God chose us before the foundation of the world that he purchases our redemption at the cross and quickens us with irresistible grace and brings us to faith."
God want all men to be saved and all men have that choice.(2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.)(NKJV)
Why would a preacher of the gospel quote John Piper in a positive light?
Pope Francis Quote: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists......."But I don't believe, Father, I am an atheist!' But do good: We will meet one another there."
Good works cannot save anyone. (John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.")(NKJV)
How is it possible to quote Pope Francis in a positive light?
Billy Graham Quote: "....or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ because they've been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus but they know in their hearts that they need something that that don't have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that they are saved, and that they're going to be in heaven."
Can you not believe in Jesus and be saved? (John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.")(NKJV)
Tony Campolo Quote? "going to heaven is like going to Philadelphia... There are many ways...It doesn't make any difference how we go there. We all end up in the same place.(Carpe Diem: Seize the Day, 1994 pages 85-88)
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.(NKJV)
Why would preachers and teachers of the gospel quote men in a positive light who pervert the gospel of Christ?
Why not just quote Scriptures?
