Yesterday was the last day of 6th grade for my young one. For seven years now I have been his primary teacher, a role I was not expecting to play but have been privileged to enjoy. This passage of another school year has me thinking about education in all its varieties—homeschool, public school, college, Life.…
Dear Lord, I have so much to do today. And each of the seemingly simple tasks opens up like an onion with a million layers. You know how I'm prone to panic, Lord, at the busyness, at the clock. So "teach me to number my days aright, that I may gain a heart of wisdom."…
So our family is nearing the end of a book that we loved, and it got me thinking of all the great devotional times we've had together over the years. We really believe that our most important job as parents is not teaching the kids to tow the line, but teaching them to enjoy God.…
’Tis the season! You can tell, because Black Friday has come and gone and now they’re advertising doorbuster sales for Christmas day.

So my oldest two kids are enrolled in a dual-credit high school/ community college English class. Imagine my surprise when they weren't assigned any books the first quarter!

It is summer. For a brief season, all of us bound by school-year schedules are free; visions of swimming pools dance in our heads. Lakes and camping, beaches and sandcastles, supper on the patio. The hours ahead seem endless, which the kids are quick to pick up on. "I'm boooorrrred," whines across the country. We…
What's a good career path for a girl who just wants to change the world? Stay at home mom, right? Wait... I’m a person who feels strongly what Courtney Reissig calls the “pull of the spectacular.” I want my short life to count. I want to do eternal things with the days I’ve been given. I…
I suppose it probably surprised some people when we loaded up our entire family and brought them along for Michael's D-Min cohort that first time. Shoot, it surprised me. I mean, really? Bring three elementary school kids to Georgia for 10 days for a grad school intensive? Who does that? I suppose it surprised still…
