Twas the Month before Christmas

I‘m not sure who wrote this but it rings true to me for sure. Let’s shout “Merry Christmas” before we are forbidden to do so. ~Anne

Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas – no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a ‘ Holiday ‘.

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down

At Lowe’s the word Christmas – was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny’s and Sears

You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Feingold, Now Durbin, Now Schumer, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione

My boys and I just recently finished reading Sir Kendrick and we cannot stop thinking and talking about it!  We read 7 of Chuck Blacks Kingdom Series books and after each one I declare that it was my favorite. My boys always catch me on this and remind me that the last book was my favorite!  If your children love to read about brave knights, castles and  sword fighting they will love this book and the entire series.  If you enjoy reading books that build up your families faith, I recommend this series.  He has a bible study in the back of his book and each character in the story is compared with a Biblical character.  Sir Kendrick is a brave knight who serves the Prince (who is Christ) and their mission is always to fight against the dark knights of Lucious (Lucifer) Their battles are fierce but they fight with the strength of the King and his Son!  This particular book focuses on the training of a younger and less experienced knight,  Sir Duncan,  who is somewhat proud and arrogant.  By the end of the book he is braver, wiser and has the humility of his mentor Sir Kendrick.   I highly recommend this series and plan to purchase these for several of my family members. ~Anne

(The reading level is ages 9-12…I think it is better used as a family read aloud. Somewhat graphic)
