My own devotional project

I have taken up a devotional project of my own. Feel free to join me.

I want to randomly open the Bible to a passage and read it. *The key is to read as small a passage as possible and reflect on it.* Then I write a letter to Jesus for 10-15 minutes (almost like free association) and reflect on my letter. Then if a theme speaks to me that I need to blog about, I will write about it here.

Today's Bible reading is: Acts 7: 49-60

Today's thoughts from my writing:
St. Stephen is speaking TRUTH and the result of his testimony is his martyrdom. It makes me more determined that my calling is to speak the TRUTH in all things as well. This takes the gift of FORTITUDE, doesn't it?

First Day of the 2009-2010 School Year

So I sit here today in our newly reorganized library classroom and we have already done the following:
(This is also how I hope every day will begin.)

-Prayer and Devotions
-Saint of the Day
-5 minute journal time (today's question: "Write about what you will do today to demonstrate the virtues of St Aidan - joyful kindness in helping others.")
-Familiarizing the boys with their weekly planners. (we are using the Days of Faith Student Planner and Assignment Book from Pflaum Publishing Group.)
-Daily GRAMS Lesson 1-5
-Week 1 Spelling Lesson
-Math drill of some type
-Latin review
-Music practice

School year starts tomorrow

Our school year starts tomorrow. I am starting slowly with the subjects that are "week number dependent." Spelling is one such subject.

I have all three at the following (very loose) grade levels:
1st
5th
7th

I'll post the curricula and how the first day went later.

May Our Blessed Mother and Our Lord watch over us daily...
