Cycle of Sin

March 27, 2012

In our homeschool curriculum we have been following Israel’s history, and we have just been covering Israel’s captivity in Babylon.  This got me thinking of a few years back when I was teaching an incredible group of 4th grade girls in Sunday School.  We were also covering a piece of Israel’s history then. There are [...]

Contentment

March 23, 2012

I can do all this through him who gives me strength. ~ Philipians 4:13 Don’t you love that verse?  It great for graduation cards and running a marathon and going into labor with your first child…or, um…contentment. Contentment doesn’t sound as heroic or as much fun as needing Christ’s strength for say, climbing Everest.  It [...]

From 5 to 14 Children ~ Podcast with Becky

March 20, 2012

Aren’t people’s stories fascinating?  I have always been intrigued by others’ lives.  I find that I learn so much through others.

On Saturdays, Kirk gets up and goes to Bible study.  So here’s what we did at home… gave Sawyer his first bath in the sink without the baby tub:). He’s kind of a fan of this. We also made “Mickey Mouse” pancakes. It’s truly the little things in life! And there was still a little [...]

March Forth…or is that Fourth?

March 5, 2012

I know, it’s really March fifth, but I told the kids that we were going to pretend that today was March 4th because yesterday was Sunday, and we don’t have school on Sundays:). A long while back I read an article in a Family Fun magazine.  This article was from a mom who set March [...]

I can honestly say that Kirk is my best friend!  We certainly have our differences of opinion sometimes, but there is no one I would rather spend my time with. Here’s just a few things that I appreciate about Kirk: He’s funny…maybe I’ve just been around him too long, but he still makes me laugh:). [...]

Adventures in Duluth

March 1, 2012

I have to admit that sometimes my decision making gets clouded by my desire to do something NOW. Being Kirk is self-employed, and we home-school the kiddos we thought that a mini-vacation during the work-week would be fun.  We thought it would be even more fun if we surprised the kids.  There is a moderate [...]
