SCRIPTURE MEMORY VERSE # 17

This is a scripture that I want to use from reading Beth Moore's Praying God's Word.

Isaiah 61:3

To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Thank you Lord for your Word. May it bring refreshment to my soul. Amen.

SOMETHING GOOD

James Madison, the Father of the Constitution (Yes, I've been reading up on American Government in Homeschool) realized that a good government was impossible apart from morality and virtue among the citizenry. At the Virginia Convention which assembled to ratify the new U.S. Constitution, he stated the following : "I go on this great republican principle, that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom. Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation."



I think this is good and thus I wanted to post it here!
