READING IS LEADING

I know there are different ways to learn, however for me reading is one of the best means.  So as we wrap up 2011 and move forward into 2012 -- I have laid out my first several reads for the new year.  This is one of the best ways for me to keep on track in my self-leading efforts.

I can feel the difference when I do not regularly seed my mind with good brain food.

So in the column on my right: What's In My Kindle I have laid out the several books I plan to read this year.

Simply put "READING IS LEADING!"

What are you reading as you enter this new year?

Merry Christmas from the Kaya's 2011

MERRY CHRISTMAS

To our online community of friends on Twitter and Facebook we want to thank you for staying connected with us and enriching our lives throughout this past year.  We want to wish a Merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!

For a child has been born for us,
   a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders;
   and he is named
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
   Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Love,

Emersen, Rhett, Tara & Rod

My Second Grader's Telling of the Christmas Story

Before school let out for Christmas break my son Rhett's 2nd grade teacher asked each student in class what they thought Christmas is about.  Here is the response that he typed out.

The actual project he turned in is below and I have retyped verbatim what he wrote out.

The most important thing about Christmas is Jesus' Birthday and Jesus' being born its also about the wise men and Jesus' Mom and dad.. They had to sleep in a barn well Jesus was born.  When Jesus was born he had to sleep in some hay in the barn.  It smelld bad there was donkys and shee and maybe a cow.  Three wise men followed a star that took them to the new born king and the new born king is Jesus!  When the wise men go there they gave Jesus some stuff and that's what Christmas is all a bout.
