I am running around like a crazy woman preparing for tomorrow’s open house of our Classical Conversations community. More later on my Halloween evening experiences and a missed opportunity to adequately explain my homeschooling positions. Muddled. That’s about all I was. Too bad people expect me to actually use.my.voice. I communicate so much better in writing when I have that handy DELETE key! :o) Continue reading Ready for Open House?
It’s Halloween…a day of funky costumes and spooky ghost stories about shadowy figures lurking behind hidden doorways. Usually I scoff at Halloween superstitions. But today my reading of Acts 5 brought to light a true supernatural story about shadows. Supernatural happenings were popping up all over the place. A man who had been crucified mysteriously disappeared from his tomb and then was found to be alive by at least 500 witnesses. This same man was lifted up into the heavens, leaving behind disciples who had been touched by what are described as “tongues of flames” of the Holy Spirit. These … Continue reading Where The Shadow Falls
This morning I read in Acts 3 about the early Christians taking care of each other. Not one of their number (and it was over 5000) was in need of anything, because they all shared what they had. Those who had much liquified some of their holdings in order to help provide for those who had little. It’s not a coincidence that after reading that story I had the idea to take stock of my closet. It’s the BermudaTriangle of my house and desperately needs organizing. There are nineteen pairs of shoes and 125 shirts and sweaters. Not including my … Continue reading 125 Shirts in the Closet
We had a nice long weekend in downtown Chicago. The people were very friendly, and despite the chilly weather and the rain, we managed to do some sightseeing. I really enjoyed meeting many of my husband’s relatives. A wedding is a great reason to celebrate! Another reason I had for celebrating is that I did not have any chest pain the whole trip. Not on the plane, not during social situations (which is when it usually hits me), and not during any of the many meals we ate. I praise God for that because the previous week I had several … Continue reading The Windy City, Tall Buildings, and Conquered Fear
I read a news story today that reported on another study about the “obesity epidemic” among children. The culprit, according to the story, is the unhealthy school lunch paid for by the government (in other words, paid for by taxpayers) to feed children whose parents can’t afford to feed them. Let me get this straight: these children are so poor and hungry that they are……..obese? Is anyone else out there puzzling over this discrepancy? There is no doubt that the Lord calls us to feed those who are hungry, but I think His definition of “hungry” might differ from our … Continue reading The Free Lunch Culprit
