The Words of Our Founding Fathers, James Wilson

"Law and liberty cannot rationally become the objects of our love, unless they first become the objects of our knowledge."

--James Wilson, Of the Study of the Law in the United States, 1790

~Music Monday~ Shout to the Lord!

Wow! Another very busy Monday, so I am late again! =)

Visit Shawntele's blog, Save By Grace, to hear her song for the week and other ladies songs that have linked up! It is a great way to start your week! Singing Praise to God! So, Let us Shout to the Lord!

The first time I heard this song, I loved it! It is a wonderful love song to sing to our Savior, and to tell others of His Wonders and love!

The Words of Our Founding Fathers, John Adams

"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. ... Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics."

--John Adams

The Words of......Noah Webster

"It is an object of vast magnitude that systems of education should be adopted and pursued which may not only diffuse a knowledge of the sciences but may implant in the minds of the American youth the principles of virtue and of liberty and inspire them with just and liberal ideas of government and with an inviolable attachment to their own country."

--Noah Webster, On Education of Youth in America, 1790

~Music Mondays~ "Mercy Said No"

I am late today for the music! So sorry! I missed being able to check out all the songs linked up on Shawntele's blog Saved By Grace earlier in the day, so that I could think about them and listen to them thru the day!

It has been really busy here with homeschooling, getting ready for winter and just life! Busy, but love it! God is Soooo Good! Praise His Name!

Here is another song I just stumbled upon about a year ago and I just love it! It is just beautiful and very touching!

"Mercy Said No"
By Cece Winans

I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading

I was drawn to what I could not understand

And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing

That what He'd have me be, is who I am

As I've come to see the weaker side of me

I realize His grace is what I'll need

When sin demanded justice for my soul

(Chorus)

Mercy said no

I'm not gonna let you go

I'm not gonna let you slip awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You don't have to be afraid

Mercy said no

sin will never ever take control

Life and death stood face to face

Darkness tried to steal my heart away

Thank You Jesus, Mercy said nooooooooooooooo

For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us

From the cross He built a bridge to set us free

Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages

And makes a sacrifice so hard to see

As midnight fell on crucifixion day

The light of hope seemed oh so far away

As evil tried to stop redemption's flow

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

And now when heaven looks at me

It's through the blood of Jesus

Reminding me of one day long ago

(Repeat Chorus)
