We have probably all heard the jokes that every Baptist fellowship involves food. From my experience I’d have a hard time refuting this. Our church actually eats lunch together every Sunday. Most Sundays each family brings their own lunch, but every month that has a fifth Sunday, our church has a potluck. Besides Sundays, we… Read More »
One of my favorite choices I ever made very early on in our homeschooling was our yearly schedule. We take a break approximately every 5-6 weeks, sometimes as short as 4, but I try never longer than 6. This necessitates starting our school year in mid-to-late-July, but it is definitely worth it on many levels.… Read More »
For the first few years of my older kids’ early elementary days, we used science encyclopedias on animals, plants, etc. or easy chemistry/physics experiments for our studies. We kept it pretty simple and fun. And I believe that was sufficient for those early years. Once my oldest was entering 5th grade, I did want to… Read More »

What does the Bible say are the roles, duties, challenges, and opportunities… Read More »

As I watched the funeral director guiding my sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephews to fold in the casket lining and close the casket, I remember having to suppress a slight feeling of panic. Closing the casket on my nephew meant that he couldn’t breathe anymore. I had to remind myself that what we were saying… Read More »
Jesus loved little children. The gospel writers tell us about his love in their recounting Jesus’ life. When people brought their children to him to have Jesus lay his hands on them and pray, the disciples rebuked them (cf. Matthew 19:13). The text does not say exactly why they rebuked these parents, but we do… Read More »

There was a lot of “Make this again!” and “Yum! This is so good!” at dinner tonight. I’ve made this before, but I’m going to definitely have to make this more frequently. It was really delicious. I served the fajitas with corn tortillas, homemade guacamole, homemade restaurant-style salsa, and tortilla chips. I used the fajita… Read More »
