The rush of Christmas traffic blurs
The days that we prepare To celebrate the birthday of A babe so sweet and fair. In all the rush did we neglect A place for Christ to stay-- A tiny manger in our hearts Where He may spend each day? For once within, His presence grows; The love that will unfold Will be enough to reach and warm A world confused and cold. ---Debra Crevelli ![]()

The Story-Life of Washington compiled by Wayne Whipple (1911)
Other book suggestions on Washington Washington at Valley Forge With his lean, ragged levies, undismayed, He crouched among the vigilant hills; a show To the disdainful, heaven-blinded foe. Unlauded, unsupported, disobeyed, Thwarted, maligned, conspired against, betrayed-- Yet nothing could unheart him. Wouldst thou know His secret? There, in that thicket of snow, Washington knelt before his God and prayed. --R.G. Sutherland ![]()
The First Christmas from Ben-Hur
Ben-Hur by Lew Wallace Ben-Hur (the movie) Although little kids won't follow the story line, my parents took me when I was a little girl and the images made such a lasting impression on me. It's rated G. Lew Wallace's home and museum, including his 'pleasure-house for the soul' My Gift by Christina G. Rossetti What can I give Him Poor as I am, If were a shepherd, I would give Him a lamb. I I were a wise man, I would do my part. But what can I give Him? I will give Him my heart. ![]()
Fifty Famous Stories Retold by James Baldwin
Ambleside notes on studying Plutarch Why Study Plutarch? by George Grant G3 online library S9 Stories from History with Greek stories Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. (From Psalm of Life by Longfellow) ![]()
We Must Open Our Eyes
by Jenny Phillips What Music Can Do For You by Harriet Seymour (1920) We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character. We do not need more government, we need more religion. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen. It is on that side of life that it is desirable to put the emphasis at the present time. If that side be strengthened, the other side will take care of itself. It is that side which is the foundation of all else. If the foundation be firm, the superstructure will stand. --Calvin Coolidge |
