http://bible.us/59/2SA22.31.ESV This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. “For who is God, but the Lord ? And who is a rock, except our God? This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.

Several people (including Kerry and Dave) enjoyed a very interesting and fun tour of the White on Friday evening. White Prairie is a private restoration project by one of the men in our church. See more information below and link. I (Dave) got many good pics. So here they are.

Here is the web link for White Prairie: http://whiteprairie.com

• About White Prairie
  The White Prairie is a private prairie restoration project in western Illinois. A former 8-acre crop field was seeded to prairie in June 2004. One-third of the prairie was burned in a controlled burn on April 16, 2008. The peak blooming period generally occurs the first two weeks of July. The prairie is located at the private residence of Gerald White.

Thanks, Brenda, for putting this together.

Children of the Almighty … HANDOUT TWO

Namby Pamby …

Namby Pamby is a term for affected and weak speech and verse. Pollyanna talk, rose-tinted fluff.

Ambrose Philips (aka Namby Pamby) was an English poet and playwright who in 1714 became tutor to George I’s grandchildren. The position gave him a status amongst the aristocracy and he took the opportunity to advance his place in society by writing sycophantic sentimental poems in praise of their children.

Thou, thy parents pride and care,
Fairest offspring of the fair
…
When again the lambkins play,
Pretty sportlings,full of May

… and so on.

His contemporaries attacked his work as childish and weakly sentimental. And playing off his name gave him his nickname: Namby Pamby.

Its origins are in Namby Pamby a poem written in 1725 by Henry Carey.
