The kids in my Bible class are memorizing Acts 17:22-31 this quarter. It is one of my favorite passages. If you’ve ever wondered who God is, turn to Acts 17 and find out. Paul was on his 2nd journey and was walking through the city of Athens. The people in this city were very devoted … [Read more…]
Well, if you answered "no", you just don’t know it yet. The recent media has been all a buzz about mothers who are coming out of the closet and admitting the shameful. They are bored. These mothers have had successful careers, decided to take some time out to have a family, and are bored. They … [Read more…]
No, it’s not Christmas I’m referring to. This is the most wonderful time of the year. This is the time of year when we are obviously nearing the end of our many books we’ve been working on all year. I love it. At the beginning of the school year, there is a sense of excitement … [Read more…]
Spring is in the air. I’m not big on getting outside and doing all the great nature things that so many home schoolers do. Thanks to some great friends, I’ve been made/forced/strongly encouraged to get out there and enjoy God’s great creation. Today we visited the David Crockett National Forest. We are in East Texas, … [Read more…]

I was definitely ready to get going again. The holidays were a great break, but all good things must come to an end. We all needed to get back on a schedule. I started a week later than I should’ve because of commitments to my Bible class. We’ll be doing basically the same thing as … [Read more…]
Today is Christmas Eve. I do admire people that work so hard at keeping things religious this time of year. I think they are doing what the think is best, but we don’t celebrate Christmas as Christ’s birthday. It’s not that we have anything against the birth of Christ. It was truly a miraculous event … [Read more…]
As I was preparing for our Thanksgiving meal, I thought, “You know, I should write this down somewhere.” I make the pretty much the same thing every year. Every year I have to find the recipes and make a to do list. So, I decided to put it all online so I wouldn’t have to … [Read more…]
As children grow up, we do our best to instill in them the truths of God. Have you ever wondered why some kids just don’t get it? I have. I see kids who were taught the Bible. Their parents were good parents. They were given every advantage possible to help them in their faith. … [Read more…]
