links on Sunday

Sundays mean links to fun/interesting/special things I've found around the internet.
Here are this week's offerings:

Art for Homeschool Art Show, fun and easy event your homeschooled kids can enter.

Duke Farms live Eagle Nest cam, -almost as cute as Molly the owl. Okay, as cute! (hat-tip to Monica @ Educating Magpies via twitter)

teacher eats and reports on school lunches- undercover here: Fed up with school lunch

When 1 +1 =1 at Prairie Lily Arts, it'll make your heart feel big. She has a way with words.

Sunday means more link fun!

The Home crew will have a short lesson on atoms tomorrow;

*A Host of daffodil crafts over at The Crafty Crow! Is it Spring where you are?

*For my fellow Blog moms, Beware of Adsense, just something you might not be aware of, I was not.

*Owl live cam, go over to watch Molly the Owl, she is sitting on a clutch of eggs, one hatched today. You will be mesmerized, so will your kids!

Have a great week, bloggy friends!

Links for Sunday! :)

...Then I thought about the grown man that he will someday......do I want him to see discomfort, and know immediately what to do?

I really loved this post, click over- you will enjoy your visit there.

I always get morbidly introspective near my birthday. When I turned 33 last year, I got nervous because Jesus went to the cross at 33-years-old, but my own faith won’t even let me ride in an airplane without breaking into cold sweat. Clearly, I am not where I need to be.

...I’m probably the only person with enough brains to brag about my arrogance and then congratulate myself afterword for repenting of it.

I know that there is grace for people like that, too. There is a seat at the King’s table. There is forgiveness. There is hope, and it’s all because of God’s faithfulness to do what He said He’d do as we confess and believe. Help our unbelief.
