Genuine question and I’d love to hear the experiences of others in the comments. I consider a normal week to be one that unfolds mostly the way you expect it to when you go to bed on Sunday night.

I have many posts about the decline of Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) as they have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ in favor of wokeness, CRT, and more. In the latest development, Cru fired Uriah and Marissa Mundell who were on staff 23 years. The great sin that ended their ministry? Refusing to …
Caroline and I have discussed the idea of extending her high school studies another year off and on over the past several weeks. Today we came to a conclusion and shook on it. We are adding a fifth year to her high school. Homeschooling a fifth year of high school is not the norm, but …
