Family Life
Tired. Stressed. Harried. Struggling financially. Arrrggghhhh. Those are the most common words on our friends' Facebook statuses -- and they're mostly Christians. When life becomes this hard, our marriages can take a back seat to survival. We become just coworkers and housemates when we're supposed to be so much more than that. (more…)
God did not forget to include "school" in his biblical design for raising children—:home education is a natural expression of all that God intended for parents and their children. Clay and Sally Clarkson's Educating the WholeHearted Child is about rediscovering God's original design for the family. What you'll find in this book is a homeschooling…
Do you ever wonder where the girl your husband married went? This book is for every mom who has collapsed into bed at the end of the day, looked into the eyes of her husband and promised "tomorrow" she'd have time for him. Trouble is, tomorrow finds her more exhausted than the day before. (more…)

Yes, they do. We keep it to one team sport a year -- We need to have a life other than sports! -- but we just love that our guys play football for the Homeschool Football League. Football seems to be a sport that our guys are good at and we love the spirit and principle…
“What is it that drives people to dress like that for Halloween?” my wife asked me. She wasn’t talking about little girls dressed like ballerinas and fairies, but folks of any age play-acting the monster variety. Why, indeed, would anyone want to pretend to be a zombie, a vampire, or a ghost for a few…

What do you think He wants you to accomplish in their lives?" [caption id="attachment_3812" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption=""Keep them safe.""][/caption] (more…)
Not many movies had me in tears in the opening sequence. "Courageous" did. I'm not an "early adopter" of whatever comes down the road--I think I didn't upgrade to Windows 95 until Windows 98 came out. Movies are a little different, and there may not be many days left in the theater schedule for this…
