School, Christmas Activities, and News
It’s that time a year again for the bustle and hustle of holiday preparations. We are incorporating some of these activities into our homeschool days. The kids always make contributions to the family newsletter and putting them into the Christmas cards, but this year I am enlisting their help in addressing the envelopes and writing little messages in the cards themselves. In the past I have taken several days to do this, but with their … Continue reading

No more than we discipline our children out of spite or vindictiveness does the Lord do so. We correct our … Continue reading

The past few days I’ve been dealing with some sort of pain in my abdomen and a bit of a fever. I’m sure it’s nothing.
