God is so good. I realize that sometimes it is an overused statement, but too often, it is the only statement that can explain Him. He is the Great I Am, the Creator God, the Master of the universe, and He is so good. After selling our house, we needed a rental house until our new home’s construction was completed. Our realtor laughed when we told her what we were looking for. We said we wanted a four-bedroom close to Davis’ work in Monroe. “You’ll never find that!” she said. And yet, God provided.  But as usual, God went above and beyond our request. He provided us with a neighborhood co ..read more

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  —Genesis 1:1 If you’ve turned on the news lately, you may have heard that a total solar eclipse will take place on April 8, 2024. Well, while we are all familiar with our Earth, moon, and sun, every now and then, they line up in a special way that causes us to pause, look up, and enjoy a show so spectacular that only God’s hand could have put it into motion. In a partial eclipse, the edge of the Moon is still visible, and the moon covers up most of our Sun in an annular eclipse, but in a Total Solar Eclipse, like the one occurring ..read more

There are, however, some key criteria that can help you assess and adapt any curriculum to fit your child’s learning style. Adapt Your Curriculum to Fit Your Child Rather Than Expect Your Child to Adapt to the Curriculum It’s a subtle difference in word order, but how you choose to teach a curriculum in your schoolroom makes all the difference in the world. If you’re looking at a curriculum and thinking that your child needs to “get on board,” you ..read more

“For what can be known about God is plain to them…For his invisible attributes, namely his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things which have been made…Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man…” — Romans 1:19-23 (ESV) We Worship the Creator, Not the Created God has revealed Himself through creation, His Holy Word (the Bible), and the incarnation of Jesus Christ (God’s Word made flesh).

…though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow… — Isaiah 1:18 An Infectious Disease Sin is infectious and deadly. It affects everyone and everything it touches. This infectious nature makes sin not unlike the coronoavirus. During the recent pandemic, the world went into a full-on lockdown in an attempt to prevent the spread of the dangerous virus. What if the world reacted to the infectious nature of sin the same way it responded to COVID-19? What would it look like if the whole world “locked down” for two weeks to “flatten the curve” of our sin? A World Without Sin We are ..read more

Homeschooling Was Not In the Plan Believe it or not, I actually used to make fun of homeschooling families. I got into all of this the hard way, but there is no other place I would rather be than at home learning with my children. Numerous professional reports and statistical data have point ..read more
