Tomorrow's Bread - Reflecting on...

Mark A. Cornelius

The approach you will see me take is not conventional. You won’t see the typical daily devotional material laid out to digest. This study is based on a personal struggle in reading other daily devotionals. I’ve tried to bring such lessons to mind later in the same day of its reading, and discovered that I had just been mouthing or thinking the words out in rote litany. I found myself forgetting, or being distracted from the power of words and content; and by the next day’s offering, yesterday’s spiritual bread was nothing but a faint taste of memory.Lord, bestow to me this day, tomorrow’s feeding, that I may rest and reflect in it, dwell in it, learn from it and share it with any who desire to know you and your way, better. I ask, that as I go about my daily routine, you lead me beside still waters to nourish me with whatever wisdom you choose to reveal, that I may be lead on a path of righteousness, for your name’s sake.

The Band in Our Basement

Kelly J. Baptist

The sounds downstairs are funky 
and we start to wiggle toes. 
We flip-flop and we giggle 
with sheets up to the nose. 
The rhythm’s steady,  
the trumpet’s sweet. 
Before too long,  
we’re on our feet! 
 
After hearing Daddy’s band practicing in the basement, a brother and sister can’t resist sneaking out of bed to watch them play. Careful, careful, can’t be caught.  
 
Tiptoe past the squeaky spot! They long to join in the fun, but can’t be seen out of bed—until the discovery of a surprise band member turns the jam session into a family affair. 
 
With an energetic, lyrical text from Kelly J. Baptist, The Band in Our Basement will have readers feeling the beat—right before settling back down for bedtime.

This unabridged reading by Jim Weiss of the book is 36 minutes on one audio CD, giving second-grade readers insight into the life of this explorer. About the series: The classical curriculum introduces even the youngest student to the pleasures of true learning. Elementary students learn history not through predigested textbooks with multiple-choice answers, but through reading the stories of history. Unfortunately, biographies of great men and women of the past are almost all written for older students, limiting the ability of young students to explore history through reading. Libraries are crammed with biographies written for high school students and adults—while beginning readers are provided with a shelf full of junior-level books about football players, NASCAR drivers, and movie stars. Now, Peace Hill Press puts real history back into the grasp of the youngest historians with the Who in the World Biography Series. The entries in the series provide young readers and their parents and teachers with biographies of great men and women of the Middle Ages. Designed to be used as part of The Story of the World curriculum, these biographies give beginning historians in grades 2–4 a chance to explore beyond the textbook. The accompanying book is also available separately.
