In my Bible study this morning (out of 1 Peter 1) I read this statement:
"In a world of increasing wickedness, we have got to be prepared for a fight and develop an enduring tenacity."
The dictionary defines "tenacious" as this:
1a: not easily pulled apart:cohesive
1b: tending to adhere or cling especially to another substance
2a: persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired
Here's what I wrote in response:
BE TENACIOUS! Pray for more love of Jesus. Pray to be in love with Jesus. Adhere or cling to Jesus. Be persistent in maintaining your walk in the Spirit! Don't wait for things to start slipping....maintain, be disciplined, seek out the Word consistently, hourly, moment by moment. BE TENACIOUS!
Tenaciously His,
Margie

About Me
- campbell6
- Clint and Margie, Dalton, Luke, Mary Caroline and Charlie Campbell: crazy family started in 1996 by God Himself. We enjoy being outside and being together. We especially like eating homemade cookies, riding our bikes, fishing and reading lots and lots of books. We can't stand tv but we really enjoy good movies. We have lived in 11 different homes and are working on the 12th. We're extremely different people with 6 very different personalities. Loving Jesus and being loved by Him is the only thing that keeps us glued together. Hope you enjoy our blog! We look forward to keeping up with all of you so leave a note and let us know how you are.

Homeschool protest at MO State Capitol
Our field trip to the capitol was conveniently combined with a protest of a few thousand other homeschool families. Quite an experience. We were protesting senate bill 291 as you can see from Dalton's homemade protest sign in the picture. The bill we were protesting would have made MO homeschoolers report credits rather than hours. With that in place, the state would have then had the power to define what a credit is. Bad news. Long story short, the author of the language publicly apologized to all of us on the steps of the captiol building and said the bill was meant to affect public school and they never had the homeschoolers in mind. Well, we were mindful and the moral of the story was don't tick off the homeschoolers! Our good friend Valerie and her daughter Elizabeth are in the picture with Clint, Dalton and Luke. The picture shows a fraction of the amount of people who crowded onto and filled the steps and the lawn in front of the capitol. To end the rally we silently marched around the corridor that surrounds the inside meeting halls. The speaker compared it to the march of Joshua and the Israelites around the walls of Jericho. Needless to say Dalton, Luke and Elizabeth's eyes got wide at that point wondering, "Is this place gonna go down? Where are the trumpets?" We had to do some quick explaining but thought that part was hilarious. Good times, good times.
The basement
For farm kids, a 40x64 patch of concrete is heaven! They will probably protest when we start finishing it. Note the silo in the background....it's a landmarker for this area but it's coming down....to many visions of Luke climbing to the top of it.
