Speak often to him, he is aways within hearing. Hear him speaking to you, and have an eye to that in every thing you say to him: as when you write an answer to a letter of business, you lay it before you; God’s word must be the guide of your desires, and the ground [...]

Are Teachers Passing On or Forsaking this Country’s Great Heritage?
Posted in Culture, Education, Teaching Children on May 25, 2007 | 5 Comments »
This week I auditioned about 30 elementary children who wanted a solo in this year’s VBS camp musical. For auditions I announced that students would be singing the first verse of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” (a standard audition song). I had the drama director demonstrate the song, but the children stared at me blankly. “Perhaps they are nervous,” I thought. Then, [...]
In memory of Hudson Taylor
Posted in Uncategorized on May 22, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday was Hudson Taylor’s bday: May 21, 1832.
Hudson Taylor once said, ”It is hardest to do nothing for the Lord.” This quote reminds me that God doesn’t want to put some of us on the shelf or set some Christians aside while only using others. He has a plan and purpose for all of us!

Yesterday I went to the Nashville homeschool curriculum fair and rubbed shoulders, literally, with the scholarly, the eccentric, and the baby-slinging homeschoolers. A friend walked around with me and told me the fascinating story of how her dad and his friends, years earlier, had fought tooth and nail to ensure that homeschooling would be legal in the state [...]

Lately, I’ve been choosing colors for the walls in my house, and painting. To my dismay the colors often look different on the wall than they do on the color chip because of the lighting. Last week I repainted one entire room three different times before I found a color in all variations of morning, noon, and night that I liked seeing on [...]

Oddly, the likelihood of having a genuinely biblical worldview is less dependent upon our personal knowledge of the Scriptures or our parents’ knowledge of the Scriptures than it is upon our parents having consistently lived an integrated, Christ-centered life before us. Our world-and-life view is caught much more than taught. It is the result of [...]

My Mom Was So Mean!
Posted in Loving Children, Womanhood on May 13, 2007 | 3 Comments »
On Mother’s Day, everyone seems to remember those tender, sentimental things about their moms, good-night songs and boo-boo kisses, but the things I remember about my mom were not so nice. In fact, my mom was downright mean!
I remember my mom packing for me the most rotten lunches. While the other kids were pulling out [...]

We Have a Lot of Work To Do

Al Mohler has a great post today about the character of men in the military, society, and the church.
Are we reaching the boys and young men in our own churches? Are we seeing them transformed from boys into men, from followers into leaders, from undisciplined young males into faithful disciples of Jesus? What are we waiting for?
We all thought we had a rough day….

Friday night my husband came home and instantly knew by the look on my face that I was in survival mode. That morning I visited several paint stores with my toddler son alongside. I evidently was wearing on his patience because by the end of my time at the second store, my son was wreaking havic. He knocked down all the rolls of [...]
All Tongue in Cheek, Of Course

Pulpit Magazine posted a great article today about the different types (all good) of education available for our kids. The article even links to another great piece on the pros and cons of homeschool, Christian school, and public school. Wow, those were great points, and since we’re on the topic, I’ve been thinking about sending [...]

Augustine noted that true wisdom comprises at least two significant components. First, he said, a thorough reading of the Scriptures and a general knowledge of its contents form the necessary base from which to gain wisdom with any practical value to society. To a Christian, this might seem obvious, but how many churches and schools [...]
