You may or may not know that this past week was the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashanah. During this holiday, the birthday of the world is celebrated and the birthday of a new year is established. Apples are served as above with honey to represent the wishes for a sweet year. Traditionally, the Jews believe [...] OK, some of you have already hit it – the Homeschooling Blues! The moment when you say to yourself, “What isn’t it working the way I dreamed?” Or, maybe – “I didn’t sign up for THIS!” As you make a commitment to pour into your child’s life, you are now faced with the many character [...] On Friday, we had our first official field trip of the school year at Rickwood Caverns. It was a wonderful tour, and I know that I was amazed to see that this treasure was literally in our own backyard. As we went through the tour, I was reminded of a little known fact that I [...] “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.” Romans 1:25 Before you can even recognize a lie, you have to know the Truth.

My husband used that moment to [...] Last week I discussed commitment, and later this week, I realized that many of us will not commit or give control to someone we don’t know. It is important to know in whom you trust. So, who is God? Our pastor challenged us to embark on a discovery of the many answers to this [...] As you plan for the new school year, let’s explore what God’s Word has to say. Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” What a wonderful promise! If we commit—OK, what does “commit” really mean? After a quick look on Dictionary.com, I discovered that it is [...] I have often heard this statement after I have revealed that I homeschool: “I could never do that.” This is always perplexing to me.
