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

Let There Be Rest

  One of the saddest things I’ve noticed, since becoming a parent, is how it seems that everyone is so incredibly busy all the time! It’s not like we have just one or two busy days a week; every day is packed with multiple activities, and everyone staying home at the same time is an

Summer on a Shoestring

  Summer is well under way by now, and if you’re like most parents, you’ve probably heard, “I’m bored,” just a few more times than you’d like. Here are a few ways our family breaks the boredom and it doesn’t break the bank: [] Bowling. Visit www.kidsbowlfree.com to register each child and receive free bowling

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

Family Field Trips

  Does your family love the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder? Have you ever imagined your life as one of those early pioneers? We do, and we have. The Little House books were one of the first series our girls read by themselves. Their set is one my grandmother had purchased for herself

Confidence in Sunshine!

  “Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth,” Hosea 6:3 (NIV). I love the movie, The Sound of Music! I grew up singing, “How
