Following the traditional calender, today we celebrate the feast day of St. Francis de Sales. He is a favorite among the extensive list of saints. In one of his most popular books, The Introduction to the Devout Life, he covers all the needed "self-help" topics imaginable to help one advance in the spiritual life. You will find a free online textbook at http://www.ccel.org/ccel/desales/devout_life.toc.html (or you may also click on this post's title for a direct link.)

Wow! Those drawings/paintings are all great. I'm really loving your new blog. It is so much fun (and encouraging too).
ReplyDeleteYour whole family are child prodigies! Do they take art lessons somewhere or have they just been doing this at home? Did they get that from Mom or Dad or a little of both? Everyone is so talented in music and in art and cooking! I just love seeing all they can do!
ReplyDeleteThank you both for the kind thoughts. My father (Robert) is implausibly gifted in the arts. The children have inherited this God-given gift. And...I can't forget to thank Seton Home Study School for the invaluable art CD's they offer their students (wink!) As for their musical abilities ~ that comes from both sides of the family tree. Lastly, Daddy (John)encourages self-sufficiency in knowing their way about the kitchen.
