Trusting God for Our Needs
I had the post all written in my mind. I was going to write about how wonderful children’s consignment sales are. I’ve written about them before, and they have been a key part of our living on one income. But as the kids grow, the selection at these sales gets thinner. Babies outgrow their clothes…
Begin > Edited by Ken Ham and Bodie Hodge
What is the first book of the Bible a new believer should read? I’ve always heard you should start with the Gospel of John. But in Begin, a new book from New Leaf Publishing Group, Ken Ham and Bodie Hodge suggest starting somewhere else: Genesis. I agree with their logic. In Genesis we learn the…
CVS Shopping
I’ve said before I am not an extreme couponer. I don’t have the time nor the space to stockpile that much. But last Thursday my in-laws were watching my kids for me so I could go out and have some time to myself. They live right by a CVS and I was going to the…
Teaching Our Children About God’s Provision
The Bible exhorts us to tell our children about the things that God has done. One example is in Joshua after the Israelites crossed over the Jordan River into the Promised Land. And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean]…

Whose Shoes are you Trying to Fill?
When I was a relatively new wife, I enrolled in an excellent class at our church. It was called Helpmeet. The title was taken from Genesis 2:18– And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. The course taught women…
Camping in the Smokies
Well, we did it. We’ve been saying we ought to try it for a long time. We took the whole family camping. In tents. (Isn’t our campsight pretty? Cades Cove is a beautiful campground.) And it rained…every…night. But we still had a wonderful time. We visited the schoolhouse where my grandfather attended: Little Greenbrier Schoolhouse. This…
Already Compromised–by Ken Ham and Greg Hall
Not every homeschooler chooses to homeschool for religious reasons. However, a great many homeschoolers do choose to homeschool so that they can teach their children from a Christian worldview. But after finishing high school, where should a young Christian continue his education if he chooses to do so? State University? Community College? Christian College? There…
