One of my favorite authors

Randy Alcorn is one of my all-time favorite authors. I was actually introduced to Randy's writing over ten years ago when I happened upon a booklet he wrote entitled Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions? (The full version of the booklet can be found here.) From there I discovered he was also a Christian [...]

Ready three days early!

Well, the display boards are finished—and three whole days ahead of time, too! Yesterday I expressed concern over the "Swiss Cheesiness" I expected to find in Jerah's report, but when Jerah and I went over her report this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find more thoroughness than anticipated.

Our first History Fair

LANGUAGE ARTS: Latina Christian I: We use this for Latin, which I’m using in place of an overall English grammar curriculum. Each lesson [...]

Long overdue date

Jeff and I had the opportunity to attend a David Crowder concert at House of Blues on October 5th. This was the first time we'd been on a date since…well, I can't even remember the last time. A friend of ours got us passes to the "meet and greet" after the concert, so we were [...]

A short introduction

I've read many blogs, but never did I think that one day I'd be writing my own. Never say never.

But for the last several months I seem to have misplaced my [...]
