For those who’ve been following my blog for a while you may remember me talking about being ill in the last six months or so. While I did recover from an acute illness that I had at the end of December, I was still experiencing severe fatigue when I went in for a routine check-up…

Salt and Light: A Valid Argument or a Misuse of Scripture?
In my last blog post, I spoke about the insidious nature of the excuses bureaucrats make to justify their infringements on parental rights. But this isn’t a problem that just affects bureaucracies, it affects the church too. I can’t tell you how many Christians I’ve seen abandon their families, and especially their children, using the…
Protecting Parental Rights: How You Can Help
While you are going about your day, homeschooling your children and taking care of your other family responsibilities – minding your own business – do you realize there are still people in this country who believe you should be in jail for homeschooling your own children? If you think I’m exaggerating, read some of the…
The Book of Psalms: Words of Comfort and Hope…from God…to You
First, a disclaimer: this post technically doesn’t have anything to do with homeschooling. And yes, it is about the Bible. So if you are only on this site because you want to know about homeschooling, I suggest you check out some of my previous posts listed in the right sidebar. As my regular readers know,…
Something Christian Moms Need To Teach Their Sons
I recently had two separate interactions with Christian men that I found disturbing, to say the least. As I pondered these situations I realized that they represented a good topic for a blog post…so here we are. The first situation involved an interaction I had on Twitter. Normally, I find Twitter to be a great…
A Christian Marriage Reality Check
This post is rated “M” for marriage but also it is rated “M” for mature content. I won’t be pulling any punches here so if you are going to come along for the ride, buckle up! Why would I publish a post about marriage on a home-schooling website? To begin with I want to say…
Christian Men: Respect is Earned
I unfortunately had to delete a post from my website this week. It was actually a post that was published many months ago – back in July to be exact. The reason for deleting it: hypocrisy. The whole point of the post was actually to link to someone else’s blog. I had read a post…
A Comment About Rascal Flatts
I am taking a mini-break, once again, from my series on “How To Teach” specific subjects in order to address an issue that came to my attention recently. While this post does not classify as a “home-schooling” post I do believe it can be classified as a “parenting” post, particularly if you are a Christian…
Where I Thank My Readers (and other stuff)
If you have been reading my blog for awhile then you know that I launched this website in May of this year. As I look back on the last seven months of blogging, reviewing, and answering your questions, the first thing I want to do is express my appreciation to every single person who has…
It’s Funny How…
It’s funny how… Generations ago large families were the norm in spite of the fact that we are told that modesty and abstinence until marriage cause people to have hang-ups about sex. Politicians say that to get out of economic problems the government needs to spend more money while at the same time they tell us that as…
