Texas Unit- Bible Verses

I used this page for the cover of our "western"notebooks. It came from the link listed. Then we used the Bible verse on the poster for copywork and our Bible memorization! Worked out great! http://jenjahromi.typepad.com/visionsverses/2009/09/cowboy-daze.html
Ezekiel 22:30, KJ: And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none (wanted:a man to stand in the gap and depend them)
Psalm 106:3, Blessed are they who maintain justice, who always do what is right.
I probably should have used the Handwriting Without Tears worksheet maker to make the copywork sheets so they had lined paper...next time!
