Hi ladies!I added a need feature on my site that gives a Daily Bible Verse each day. However, I have to add the verses in my list manually. That is where I need your help.

Been a While

It's been a while since I have been able to sit down and write (type). It feels good. Got everyone down for bed at a reasonable hour. The house is picked up. I'm in pj's and ready to relax at the computer. The last month has been busy for our family. As I am sure it has been for everyone.

December was bustling with activity, gift gathering, enjoying the blessing of family and friends and rejoicing in the celebration of Christ's birth. We spent our Christmas with family in New Mexico.… Continue

It allows me to venture out of the box and teach more on any particular subject while still meeting the state requirements for my state. www.k12.com.

I just wish they would stop growing up and leaving me darn it!!!! My husband keeps telling me I have done a fine job, which makes me think maybe if I didn't do so well the last one might stay a bit longer. LOL Just kidding. Hope you had a great day:)
