Being at a place where you can pray in the open without fear is something we all should not take for granted. Its a beautiful thing to see this from the next generation. PJSLB

Christian Christmas Music Day 8 – Whitney Houston

***Until Christmas Day, I will be highlighting one song that defines Christmas for me and my family. Hopefully, some of these songs will be an inspiration to you and your family as well.

Day 8 – Whitney Houston – Sung the best version of the US National Anthem

One Wish The Holiday Album Song – O come O come, Emmanuel

whitney-houston-84791_1280

Growing up, there was a voice that no matter was the topic of her song, always had me just stay still and listen.  There was her song for the movie The Bodyguard, I Ihave Nothing that has parts in it where you really doubt that it is a human being singing because there is no way a human can hit those notes with such command and ease.  Mrs. Houston had me standing still again during the beginning Super Bowl XXV (my Giants won!) when just days after the US entered the war, she sang what is to this day the standard of what the US National Anthem should sound like.

Whitney’s struggles while on earth is well document BUT also is her love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  When people ask me how can someone like Whitney say they love the Lord and particiapte in such aweful things, my answer is always the same:

Our Lord is comfort to those who seek him.  We are all lost and broken and it is thru Jesus that we are redeemed.  Our salvation is something that no person on this earth can take away for it is a gift from God.  A gift we received when we accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior who died for our sins.

Merry Christmas to all!  =)  -PJSLB

Christian Christmas Music Day 7

***Until Christmas Day, I will be highlighting one song that defines Christmas for me and my family. Hopefully, some of these songs will be an inspiration to you and your family as well.

Day 7 – Nat King Cole – The “unforgetable” voice

The Christmas Album  Song – Joy to the world

Nat King Cole Christmas

I first heard about Nat King Cole when I saw his daughter Natalie Cole do a duet with her father using old photos and singing with him.  I remember having chills just thinking about what Natalie was going thru singing a song like that.  Since then, I have been a fan of Nat King Cole and all that he has done for for music thru Jazz.

This morning i saw my daugthers walking to class and i thought, “…wow they are growing up so fast”.  That moment with my daughter along with the picture above and the singing of Natalie Cole with her father makes me very blessed this morning.  Thank you lord for allowing me to take care of these kids while they are here and thank you for the moment Natalie got to sing with her father.   Merry Christmas!  =)  -PJSLB

Christmas at Tattnall Square Academy 2016

First of all, I need to apologize to the more than 1300 followers in over 100 countries for this entry but this is an entry I HAD to write about.  As i said in the past, a big reason for making the move back to Georgia was for my daughters to be able to go to school at Tattnall Square Academy. One my my favorite events at Tattnall is the last week before Christmas break.  It is just a festive atmosphere where you really feel the love that the school has for one another.  Today was a day that showed the heart that Tattnall has for its community. For the last 30 years, TSA has been leading the charge in helping Kids Yul  Love give toys to the less fortunate.

The cast of the nativity play.  I love being at a school where EVERYONE is free to express their love for Christ.

Had to add this picture.  While everyone is doing a fantastic job, my daughter is the angel in the middle with her hands up in the air all relaxed. 

Santa coming into the Athletic Complex with the gifts the students brought for Kids Yul Love.

Some of the gifts the students at Tattnall brought.

The opening of the Polar Express play.

The TSA band of gold always brings it. 

For our readers outside of the USA, I pray that this is a good representation of how a Christian school here fosters the next generation of Christian leaders. If you have some pictures as well, please share! We would love to see them
