The Atchafalaya Basin is the U.S.’s largest river swamp, containing almost one million acres of our nation’s most significant bottomland hardwoods, swamps, bayous, and back-water lakes.
Here are photos of swampland. And here are some others of the wildlife found there.
Here is the aerial view of Atchafalaya Basin from Google.

Psalm 86
I like this Psalm. This is a prayer psalm. I would like to read it to my kids each day 🙂
Psalm 86
1Bow down thine ear, O LORD,
hear me: for I am poor and needy.*
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Celine Deon’s My Heart Will Go On
When Celine Deon begins to sing she takes command of the stage and then she takes command of the heart of those listening.
She was a prodigy child with a passion and great talent to sing and then she was discovered. After years of practicing and polishing the beauty in her voice is magnificent as you must silently listen and watch:
It’s difficult to not envy such natural talent. And you must know that it has been coupled with long endless days of work.
But we can thank God that we have the privilege to experience her song and then, if your like me you just pray and wish that somehow God would allow beauty in whatever way is best to come from your own life.

Best Books of Yesteryear
Former missionary, speaker and radio host Elizabeth Elliot once said you must only read the very best books because there are so many books out there and you don’t have time to waste.
On the radio program, Family Life Today, on last Tuesday the 24th, Mark Hamby was the guest for two days, the 23rd and 24th. He is publisher of Lamplighter Publishing. He publishes books that were written long ago and have a strong moral thread throughout the stories. Many of these books have been long forgotten but were best sellers of their times. The books have been edited somewhat but still keep the strong moral thread throughout the story.
On the program, he catagorized his favorite books he has published. Here is the program from the Family Life Today website. He put them into three groups:
Sunday School Lesson
This blog is for my couple dozen neices and nephews to give them encouragement in doing the right thing.
Did you go to church today? (I’m talkin’ a Bible-believing, tell-the-truth church!) If you didn’t maybe you could sit in while we have a little Sunday school lesson on my blog today. My husband used to watch a Christian cartoon called Jot when he was a kid.
The Game of Chess
When I was a kid I learned to play Checkers. But I didn’t think it was necessary or want to put forth the effort to learn Chess. I learned last night. My son, Benjamin, taught me.
