I discovered this video of Darrell Scott singing one of my favorite songs last night. It is called You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive.

We learned in our science book, Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day that butterflies have striped antennas and skippers have “hooks” on the end of […]

I have been pleasantly surprised by American Idols recently having guests and contestants singing Christian songs. Last week, Dolly Parton sang “Jesus and Gravity.” I was so impressed with her message. She told Ryan - “You’ve got Simon - I’ve got Jesus!” And before she sang, American Bandstand winners, the Clark Brothers, sang a funky […]
