I must admit, that when I created the title for this entry, my first thought was of the movie The Sound of Music and my first introduction to that song. You have to understand that I was a very naive 18 year old that came from a backwoods town  in PA. I was very blessed to have been chosen to tour Europe with a concert band and choir that is now known as The Sound of America (then it was All Student Groups USA). While playing a selection of Rodgers and Hammerstein songs, I couldn't understand why the choir kept singing "...when the beasties"! Of course I know now that it's "...when the bee stings" and was quite embarrassed when I found out. Obviously I didn't get out much then. I was completely out of my comfort zone traveling around the big cities in Europe. I'm glad we mostly stayed together as a group or I would have been totally lost. Maybe someday I will tell you about some of my adventures.

Oh well. That's not what this entry is about. It's really about my favorite websites. They are posted on the left side of this page and are broken down in to two catagories...Family Links and Homeschool Links. I will be talking more about each one of them in the days and weeks to come and telling you why they are my favorites, but don't wait until then. Start clicking and exploring now. And remember, this is a sharing blog, so let me know what your favorite sites are as well.

Mood:  special

I have finally done it. I've jumped into the blogosphere. I have been reading blogs of friends and acquaintances for a long time now and toyed around with creating a blog of my own. I wanted to create a blog about things that I cared about - My God, my family and my ministry. The name "Families Again" seemed good because not only does it include my family, but the family of God, and the family of prayer and financial supporters that we have for our ministry. It also was a good fit for one of the topics that I wanted to discuss the most-building stronger families. I say discuss, because I am by no means the authority on strong families. Our family is a normal family that fights and makes up, has ups and downs, has strengths and weaknesses but through it all does our best to obey and honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I not only want to use this blog to talk about things that we've done to try to strengthen our own family, but give you ideas and websites from others on building stronger families and to listen to your ideas and suggestions as well. I pray that this blog will be a place where we can exchange ideas on how to raise our children to grow up to be the Godly young men and women that will be the leaders of our households, churches, and government in the future.
