This, my friends, is what classical education looks like in our house. I’d like to point out a few details that you may have missed at first glance. The school work commenced on Saturday night at 8pm. The dog is … Continue reading My way is not the high way
A little over ten years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter and battling severe nausea, I found one of those “relaxation CDs” called Mountain Streams. The sound of rushing water was overlaid with gentle instrumentals, and I played that CD into the ground because it helped me relax and remove my focus from that which caused severe anxiety (the nausea) to that which caused peace (God’s creation).

“Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” -Luke 2:14 In church yesterday I had a wonderful treat. First, my precious and very brave daughter performed her Christmas music during the service and then sang in the children’s choir.

The mountains and hills will burst into … Continue reading Fall Reflections on Election Eve
It’s interesting how we Christians are called to live in this world, but apart from this world. Yet those of us in America are fortunate enough to get to have a say in our country’s governance. It presents an interesting dichotomy for me…as a Christian, I know my God is sovereign. I know that he already has this election “in the bag.” He doesn’t have to watch the news on November 4th to see the election returns because time is nothing to him. On the other hand, a part of me wants to “help” God out by telling people I … Continue reading Where the rubber meets the road
