Last week we started the New to Homeschooling support group, and we have always started off the first week with making sure you know the answer to the question, “Why?” I was challenged as I read Big Picture People by Doug Carter, and he said that the first question we need to settle is “Who?” [...]

Last week we discussed what the road less traveled is not. It is not one that has no other travelers; it is a road that is simply traveled less often. The good news is that as we take the homeschooling road (which is definitely less traveled), we are not alone! There is another presence on [...] Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken”, 1915 Many people have used this poem to describe how we need to choose a better path that may not be what the norm of our society has [...]
I receive a daily email homeschool devotional from Alpha Omega Publications, and I really enjoyed this story that I received this weekend.

He created everything, and if you have done any science with your children this year, you know how intricately it all works together.

I really can’t do this life on my own. I need my friends’ encouragement and prayer! BUT, my friends [...] “…we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is [...] Last week I saw Jay Leno ask this question to several people on the street. It amazed me how many people mentioned eggs, bunnies, and new life. When Jay would press to see if they knew “why” we celebrated Easter, it amazed me more to hear that people really didn’t know! Though some knew it [...] |
