Why You Can’t Just Leave the Track
I have been running for decades. Hard to believe. Yes, there were years in there when running was confined to a treadmill, years that I walked instead, and even years when I didn’t lace up the shoes at all. But I’m still running. Real runners never leave the track…. Anyone who breaks that centuries-old chain […]
10 Ways to Stay Well-Rounded
Homeschooling can consume us — if we let it. It can become not only what we do, but who we are, the sum total of our existence. Here are 10 ways to stay well-rounded and avoid becoming one-dimensional! 1. Spend time with God. As a Christian, this is where my day starts. My faith […]
10 Tips from the Track
Stay focused. Never look around you to see how others are doing. Keep the finish line clearly in view. (Philippians 3:14) Wear the right clothing. You need all of the support you can get. (Ephesians 6:10-17). Get the right inputs. The sudden adrenaline boost of a Snickers and a Mountain Dew will only take you […]
On Conscience
“All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.” Numbers 6:4…. Surely this is a lesson to the Lord’s separated ones, teaching them to come away from sin in every form, to avoid not merely its grosser shapes, but even […]
Doing the BIG Thing
We get that call. You know, the one where we want to serve Christ with all of our heart, mind, and soul. We are ready to go. We promise to do what He wants, go where He leads, serve Him for His glory. We are ready to do the BIG thing. And then…. We find […]
Aunt Amy {Free eBook}
We love old books, and the fact that they are free makes it even better! One of these old gems is Aunt Amy by Francis Forrester. Aunt Amy continues the story of Minne Brown, “the gentle girl” — a child who, though not perfect, is learning to be Christlike: She had a lovely spirit, a […]
Is Your Home a Heaven on Earth?
The Bible uses home life and marriage as illustrations of God’s relationship with His church, with the people who follow Him. And when you live out your God-ordained roles and fulfill your God-given assignments at home others take notice and see proof of your special relationship with the Lord. Just think! You have the privilege […]
Why Education Starts With the Heart
When reading through a couple of books by favorite homeschool mentors, one thing that stood out to me is the premise at which they start. Education can mean nearly anything these days. But a true education has to begin on a true foundation. Apparently these two different mentors frequently found that, to some homeschool moms […]
The Hedge of Thorns {Free eBook}
God gives us hedges for a reason. It isn’t profitable to jump the hedge. Your hedges may look nothing like mine, and mine nothing like yours. And it would not be right for me to try to impose my hedge on you. Yet, the hedges do serve a purpose, and we little know the thorns […]
Loving the Unlovable
You know people like this. Their focus is solely on themselves. They live for their own pleasure. They carry a big stick, are always right, and impose their viewpoints. Anyone with a different way of looking at things need not apply. They don’t know how to give compassion. They can’t empathize, or even sympathize. They […]
