Our God and King, worthy are you to receive glory and honor and to be praised for your unsearchable greatness. Who knows how the spirit comes to the bones of a child in the womb? Who understands eternity past and future? Who comprehends a throne founded on righteousness and justice? You alone are to be… Continue reading Fear the Lord: A Prayer for Parents

He Has Indulged Me

Sandbagged
One thing I really love about homeschooling is getting to creatively tailor education to my kid’s particularities. When we started wandering aimlessly with reading, I resolved to find a solution. I came up with a “Reading Rewards” idea to help motivate them to a little more challenging reading. They were bored with “Frog and Toad”, but complained… Continue reading Sandbagged

It didn’t really dawn on… Continue reading The Divine Will

He is my light, my strength, my song; this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest… Continue reading In Christ Alone

The following is one of my favorites that I pray for myself, my family, and “all… Continue reading Valley of Vision- The Family
