A Little Bit of Southern Gospel News

Hey neighbors,

You may or may not know, but my family enjoys Southern Gospel Music. We have a few favorites and there are a couple of groups we consider friends. So from now on I will occasionally be posting about things going on in the Southern Gospel world.

First I wanted to share some news from Wilburn and Wilburn. They have a song titled You Asked Him to Leave that has become a favorite of mine. I first heard it right after the National Quartet Convention. I would love for you to take a moment to listen to the words to this song.

This song was recently removed from one radio station because one person complained. It really concerns me how everyone has become so afraid of offending anyone, that we immediately change things just because of one or two people complaining. Where is the Christian who is going to take a stand and say, "Right is right and wrong is wrong."?

I also wanted to share a news release from AG about some of their top songs of 2015. Take a look!

Do I listen to all these artists? No, but I did want to share this list with you! Enjoy and have a blessed day!

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
