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. Format I’ve continued to enjoy the overall format of Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.). It has worked well with this family’s lifestyle. There have been multiple ways in which I have to “drop...

A wise quilter once said, “If you love sewing, you have to love seam ripping.” I don’t love seam ripping. Ripping out a seam is moving backwards. It is undoing what I have spent time and effort and energy creating. My preferred method is to do everything right the first time! If I just plan ahead sufficiently, if only I would focus well enough, then surely no mistakes would happen. The illusion of my craft is that everything seems to be within my control.

Our Lord has directed us to some specific things we ought to be doing, who should be doing them, how we should be while doing...

This quote is sometimes attributed to Max Lucado, but some have said that is not true.  So I submitted the question to the Max Lucado official website for confirmation.  They responded that it is not a Max Lucado quote and they have not been able to find the source either.   At any rate, I like the sentiment, and I hope it is a challenge and blessing to you. ...

Sigh.  We are all like the children of Israel. Exodus is an exciting and action-packed book, isn’t it?  Giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles.   (Ok, giants don’t show up until 1 Samuel, and I’m past the allusion to The Princess Bride.)  But Exodus is really an easy book to read, and it is so easy to see why God put it in the Bible for us.  The hard part is applying the truths to ourselves.   We are getting...
