How to Teach Accountability

  How do you teach a child to be accountable for their own actions and embrace personal responsibility? Starting young is ideal, but even teens who have been coddled for far too long can learn to be held accountable. 1. Lead by example. It has been said that, when it comes to children, “Much more

The Comparison Trap

  Flashback to the early 1990s! I was a young mom, interested in homeschooling, who noticed all of these amazing, well-behaved children who respected their parents. I wanted children like that! As time went on, our family thrived with homeschooling. However, my children squabbled with one another. They were not perfect. Sigh. Comparing Ourselves to

Teaching The Tragedies of History Like Scripture Does – Part Two

  Just as Genesis 3 reveals why our world is now broken, it also describes the consequences of man’s sin against God. “Unto the woman he [God] said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall

Teaching The Tragedies of History Like Scripture Does – Part One

  When Sin, Sorrow and Death Entered History “If God is good, why does He allow evil and suffering?” Evil and suffering are realities that students of history will cringe over, time and time again. Our hearts truly should go out in compassion to secular historians; they see no hope and no redemption in the

The Art of Giving Up

  A few years ago, I ordered the book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Everybody else was going on and on and on about how it had inspired them to declutter their homes and lives. We didn’t live in a very big place at the time (a 700-square-foot apartment), and I can remember staring,

Everyday Fun: How to Find Joy in the Mundane

  For too long, I’ve griped about my daily work. I have to do this; I have to do that. Then slowly, something I didn’t expect started happening. The kids were sounding like me when I had them do their work. Oh, I have to do this again. This work is so boring. I realized

The Conflict Between Biblical and Humanistic History – Part 2

  Just as history has a purpose, it also has a promise. The seeds sown by previous generations always bear sweet or bitter fruit for their descendants. We are responsible for tomorrow’s history. Yet, even in man’s freewill choices, God remains sovereign in guiding the affairs of men, a mystery we find fully revealed in

The Conflict Between Biblical and Humanistic History – Part 1

  Ten years later, my naivety makes me smile. As a young student of history, I confidently thought history was one subject I could read without being tainted by author bias. How can you skew, misinterpret or worse, intentionally lie about events sealed in the past? Sadly, it didn’t take long for me to lose

Envisioning Our Children’s Futures

  Throughout history, the majority of children grew up to do whatever their parents did. If your dad was a farmer, odds were that you became one, yourself. In many parts of the world, this is still the case. Naturally, there are many factors making this the smoothest and most obvious path for a young

The Most Important Subject

  Several years ago, my husband and I were convicted of not spending enough time in God’s Word as a family. It wasn’t a vital part of our lives. We would have a Bible class during school, but it wasn’t a priority. It was just another subject that we studied as part of our curriculum.

Hey Mama Monday: God Is Waiting and Ready to Hold You Up

  Hey Mama, this is kind of urgent so I am typing fast; forgive any mistakes here. The urgency comes from the fact that I have heard you are in a heap of tears, because the grief is a lot to bear right now. You keep walking yet troubles still come, today even, new problems
