I Have a Voice
You have likely heard Adele belt out her recent hit, Rolling in the Deep. But have you heard a ten-year-old sing it like this before? I work with preteens every week, yet I never expect them to break out into song, sounding like this. (And if the ten-year-old vocalist wasn’t enough, the other two musicians [...]
TweenParent.com [Way Down Yonder 006]

Good, Good, Good, Good, Good, Good, Good, Not Good
In the beginning The Bible begins with a poem describing the creation of the world. And throughout its rhythm we are repeatedly reminded of one thing: ”…and it was good.” However, as we turn to the page to the next creation narrative we find the exact opposite, a phrase standing in glaring opposition: “It was not good.” [...]
