What Is Church And Why Do We Go?

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Recently we were on our way to church when in the course of playing with the stuffed animal Caroline had brought along the stuffed animal asked Caroline, “What is church?” (Making stuffed animals and dolls ask your child questions is a great, sneaky way to assess what she knows although that wasn’t my intent at …

Homeschool Curriculum Versus Traditional School Curriculum

Sunday, October 30, 2011

This past summer I had the opportunity to go through a charter school room partially filled with curriculum that was about to be discarded. Since the time available to me was short, I took a great deal with me that I thought might work in our homeschool with the knowledge that I could sort it …

Trusting God With Romance and Marriage

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

The Pain, Loss, and Humiliation Gifted Women Experience in the Church

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

A few nights ago I was sitting in the car, waiting for David and Caroline to come out of Meijer. I turned on the radio and found the broadcast of a church service. I knew right away what kind of a church it was. The soloist was doing a heartfelt job, but was obviously not …

How I Changed My Mind About Women in Leadership

Sunday, August 21, 2011

Last autumn I was in the midst of a series entitled Exploring a Woman’s Freedom in Christ when the holidays hit. I pretty much dropped the series at that point mostly because of time issues. Between the holidays, selling a house, finding a house, and moving, I wasn’t doing much studying! I’m picking up this …

The Ginghams Paper Dolls (Free!)

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Have you ever heard of The Ginghams Paper Dolls? They were very popular many years ago and women have fond memories of playing with them as a girl. I happened across a free download of these adorable paper dolls and wanted to share them with you. I’ve already decided that I’m not showing  the Ginghams …

Spiritual Abuse | Fifteen Years Later

Saturday, July 30, 2011

A few weeks ago Karen linked to information about the implosion within Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM). On the forefront of the situation is C.J. Mahaney, the well-known leader of the group of churches. As I commented on Karen’s blog at the time, I was both surprised and not surprised. My lack of surprise was not …

Is There A Best Time to Have a Baby?

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

There are many factors that can come into play when deciding to have a baby. Although it may not be possible to choose exactly when a baby comes, there are definite advantages to certain seasons. Here are five factors that might help a husband and wife determine the best time and month to conceive, enjoy …

Planning Our Relaxed Homeschooling Kindergarten

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Like most homeschooling moms, I’m currently in the midst of planning. For our family, I am in the middle of planning our relaxed homeschooling kindergarten year. After doing a lot of research about the different kinds of curriculum packages available, I decided to purchase… nothing. But first let’s look at something fun we did take …

Two Reasons I Love Little Bear

Thursday, July 7, 2011

Based on reader recommendations, I bought the Feel Better Little Bear DVD for Caroline many months ago. It was a great decision as it has become a favorite in our home. We’ve since added Rainy Day Tales, Little Bear’s Band, and The Little Bear Movie. We’ve also enjoyed Halloween Stories from the library and it has one …

Homeschool Versus Christian School

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Some of you may have noticed my absence around here the past few weeks. It wasn’t an intentional break. It was a break that just kind of developed as I needed time to do and think and process. We’ve been processing a lot in recent weeks.  We’ve been evaluating and choosing and wrestling. We’ve been …

All-of-a-Kind Family | Homeschooling with Cozy Books

Monday, July 4, 2011

Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte and Gertie are five sisters growing up in a poor Jewish family in New York City in the early 1900’s. The classic read-aloud All-of-a-Kind Family series by Sydney Taylor includes five chapter books that follow the joys and sorrows, faith and celebrations of the special family. This was by far one …

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to examine all of life and think for yourself.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
