5 Lessons from the Orchard

Wednesday, 30 October 2019 by TOSBlog
orchard
  Going to the apple orchard is a yearly pilgrimage in our household. It just doesn’t feel like fall without that first bite of golden sweetness. But going to the orchard can become a drudgery if plans are loosely made. Before you know it, you’ve spent the entire week’s grocery budget on apples and another

Diabetes Detour

Monday, 29 April 2019 by TOSBlog

The reflection in the dirty, lead-stained mirror is a me I’m glad only strangers will see tonight. Leaning my forehead against the mirror, I let the steaming water wash over my hands. We’ve been here for hours. Tears roll down my face. Choking back a sob, I turn and look at my twelve-year-old son in

Raising Influencers for Christ

Tuesday, 26 February 2019 by TOSBlog
influencers
  Why do we homeschool? What is the ultimate goal for our children? We hope they are happy, safe, healthy, and successful. But, there’s a deeper desire that drives us forward? Christian homeschoolers have an enormous opportunity to provide a spiritual foundation for their children. In fact, many Christian homeschoolers would say that the spiritual

3 Lifelong Habits – The Habit of Obedience

Wednesday, 05 December 2018 by TOSBlog
obedience
  “Mom! Joleen stole something from the store,” yelled my older brother. My heart thundered in my five-year-old chest. I knew I was in trouble and would have to make it right. The funny thing is that despite a few isolated incidents, I was an obedient child. So why did I steal a pink bouncy

3 Lifelong Habits – The Habit of Respect

Thursday, 08 November 2018 by TOSBlog
respect
  There’s just something delightful about a young child who responds to others with a bright and happy countenance. So, it was with horror, one Sunday morning, I observed my five-year-old refusing to shake our senior pastor’s hand. My son’s grumpy face and folded arms spoke volumes about his mood that day, but also his

3 Lifelong Habits: The Habit of Attention

Thursday, 11 October 2018 by TOSBlog
attention
  “Pay attention, Joleen!” My mother gently tapped my wiggly five-year-old, stocking-clad, leg. I sat in church, hoping my father would preach a short sermon. Nope. So, I counted the ceiling beams and looked for hidden designs in the stained glass windows. Eventually, I fell asleep against my mother’s warm shoulder. Paying attention seemed difficult

  “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

The PEARL: Part 5 – Love

Thursday, 31 May 2018 by TOSBlog
how homeschoolers can evangelize
  I don’t like my neighbors. In fact, we’re thinking of moving because they’re terrible people. Will you pray for me? A young mother approached me with these words after I taught a breakout session on “Reinventing the Backyard Bible Club.” I hugged her and responded, “Yes, I will pray for you, but I want
