This blog series is adapted from Sunday School lessons I wrote several years ago for women and teen girls. The goal was to form a “theology of woman” by looking chronologically at all of the major portions of Scripture regarding women and womanhood. 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 »

I served the fajitas with corn tortillas, homemade guacamole, homemade restaurant-style salsa, and tortilla chips. I used the fajita… Read More »
My kids’ history and science lessons recently coincided to study the landing of the first man on the Moon on July 20, 1969. It was fascinating to again read about and then re-watch Neil Armstrong’s first “small step for man,” and “giant leap for mankind.” Armstrong’s famous first footprint in the fine dust of the… Read More »
I very loosely follow a classical method for teaching my kids. This is mostly applicable for me in how I do history and corresponding literature picks. For 1st-4th grade, then again in 5th-8th grade, we have progressed from ancient times, to the middle ages, to the early modern age, and finally to the modern age.… Read More »
Christian parents have the responsibility and privilege to bring their children up “in the discipline and instruction of the Lord” (Eph 6:1–4). One of the challenges—perhaps the most difficult—is teaching our children not only to obey, but also to love God.

For elementary math, I use Singapore Math. I really like this curriculum (but I also really like math). What I most appreciate about the program is that it teaches the students to understand how the math works. It encourages the use of math manipulatives (connecting blocks, place value charts, etc.) for the child to use… Read More »
