Many helpful sites about grammar are found here. An interesting one that caught my eye was Grammar and Style.

I found a website that has a nice set up to help students quickly learn grammar. It is called Daily Grammar. If you like they will email you a quick lesson five days of the week and then a quiz at the end of the week! They also have a workbook available for more practice. You can also get each short lesson right off their website.

I stumbled across a website my kids will love,Comics.com. There are many popular comic strips there.

“And after the earthquake a fire; and after the fire a sound of gentle stillness” (1 Kings 19:12)
Ahab and Jezebel were a king and queen who did evil in the sight of God. Jezebel wanted to kill Elijah, God’s prophet. But God kept Him safe and took care of Him. When God spoke to Elijah in verse 12 of 1 Kings 19 He spoke to Him in a still small voice. Most often that is how God speaks to people today. Here are a few quotes from a devotion by Mrs. Charles Cowman:
A still voice can hardly be heard.
It must be felt.
A steady, gentle pressure upon the heart and mind
like the touch of a morning zephyr to your face.
A small voice, quietly, almost timidly spoken in your heart,
but if heeded growing noiselessly clearer to your inner ear.
His voice is for the ear of love,
and love is intent upon hearing even faintest whispers.
There comes a time also when love ceases to speak if not responded to, or believed in.
He is love,
and if you would know Him and His voice,
give constant ear to His gentle touches.
In conversation, when about to utter some word,
give heed to that gentle voice,
mind the check and refrain from speech.

‘And only Heaven is better than to walk with Christ at midnight,
over moonless seas.
‘ I couldn’t feel frightened then.
Praise Him for the moonless seas–
all the better the opportunity for proving Him to be indeed the El Shaddai,
‘the God who is Enough.”‘
–Amy Carmicheal/Elizabeth Elliot
