A New Direction!

Hey there!  Just a note from Robin of Christian Graces!

The Savvy Scholars got a little scholastically-web- challenged...but that's okay they are still reading.

Maybe you don't know Noah...she has expressed an interest in taking on the management for the blog.  Look for the same great discussions on books and more you've come to expect and even more.  Noah will focus more on movies as she is an avid fan of great films--especially musicals. I wanted to introduce her and to let you all know to expect more great content from the girls in the future.

Meet Noah :) Noah is 12 years old and she has been the CG puppet master since 2009.  She is a gymnast, an accomplished pianist and a great singer (she sang for us during our Dressing the Heart event in 2011).

Along with her elder sister Gabe, she has become quite the movie reviewer and the two of them would like to share their reviews via video with our CG family.  Theirs will be from the Christian perspective-- look out Roger Ebert and Pluggedin Online!
Please welcome her to the Savvy Scholars format graciously.

God Bless, Robin

2012!





I pray everyone has a great New Year! And that you will ACTUALLY DO all those things you promise yourself to do. Because you can. The only thing stopping you from doing, some of, those things on your resolution list is yourself. " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 1 Tim. 1:7

You have the strength to move on, push forward, be different, and be yourself. ;)
Don't let anything get in your way. Trust God, and ask Him to take all your fears away as you enter 2012.

Let's pray for an amazing year!


 have a great new year ~ olivia and gabe

LUKE 2:1-21 - The Christmas Story

"And it came to pass, in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus That all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every man into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, unto Judaea, unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem. (because he was of the house and lineage of David)
To be taxed with Mary his exposed wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country, shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over there flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I bring good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  
 And this shall be a sign unto you, Ye shall see a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of heavenly host praising God, and saying
Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will men.
And it came to pass, when that angel were gone away from them, into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go now even unto Bethlehem, to see these things which have come to pass, which the Lord hath known into us.
And they cam with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe laying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad, saying the thing which were told unto them, concerning this child.
And all they that heard it, wondered at the things which was told them, by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God, for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
And when the eight days were accomplished for the circumcision of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb."

When the Angel came unto Mary

(And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. )

Angel:
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
(And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. )
Angel: Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David, And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Mary:
How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

Angel
: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Mary
: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

(And the angel departed from her. )
