Reading through the whole Bible ought to be a basic discipline for every Christian. This is the Book we love. It is our basis for life and godliness. How can we live in the way God wants if we don’t read it? This year, I chose the chronological schedule, and loved it! Years ago I had read through a printed Chronological Bible but had forgotten how helpful this method was. Job is read toward the beginning of the year since Job...
Well, I’m almost half-way through. We’ve just completed 8 years of homeschooling, and I have 9 years to go. So it is time to give an update on how things have gone with our curriculum choice and what changes we’ve made over the years.

So I just wanted to share with you something that has been a HUGE help to me in the last year. It...

I’m in the mood to use up my scraps and stashed fabrics, so I wanted to do something with all of those old jeans I had saved. The hexagons and triangles gave a nice texture to the quilt.
