Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
Recently I had a dentist appointment. Not once in the last 365 days did I floss my teeth. However, with the appointment just a few days away, I was suddenly motivated to floss my teeth. Does anyone else feel like a trip to the dentist is a big exam you have to pass or is... Continue Reading →
My last post on this blog was a few months ago. As with many families, mine had become very busy this summer. At first I felt guilty about not posting something. I quickly dismissed that, though, because I’m not really that great of a writer. I’m not eloquent in speech or extremely intelligent. Still, didn’t... Continue Reading →
The number one reason my husband and I decided to educate our son at home was because our Lord led us to that decision. We believe homeschooling was what God asked us to do.

Our mighty God not only wants us to study and worship, he also wants us to rest. So I present to you today three simple answers to prayer. May they build your... Continue Reading →
As I looked through photographs and artwork trying to find the most appropriate image for the subject of my blog post, I found the one above and I couldn't scroll past it. I do realize the irony of writing an electronic blog post about bondage while showing an image of a man bound to his... Continue Reading →
Writing and publishing my own books was an exciting opportunity for me!

In the process... Continue Reading →
