    Trusting God Through a Miscarriage (Part 1 of 2)

    / 2 Comments

    October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. In remembrance of that, I want to share with you a portion of my own miscarriage journey. Perhaps you can relate. Hopefully, you’ll be encouraged. Excitement Not even the startling, cold lubricant squeezed onto my belly could stifle my excited chatter. I was on the verge of being the first to hear a great secret—the gender of our third baby! Earlier that day, I had taken our seven-and nine-year-old daughters to a sitter. They desperately wanted to go with me to my 12-week check-up. I told them I wasn’t due for an ultrasound for several weeks. I assured them they could…

    Homeschooling: Answering Your Questions (Part Two)

    / Comments Off on Homeschooling: Answering Your Questions (Part Two)

    Even though homeschooling is a widely accepted educational alternative, many people still have lots of questions — especially those considering taking the leap. In an earlier post about homeschooling, I answered some frequently asked questions. This post is part two of my answers to questions I often receive about homeschooling. How rapidly is home education growing? Almost 2 million students were homeschooled in the United States during 2002-2003.* The growth rate is 7% to 15% per year, according to Dr. Brian Ray, president of the National Home Education Research Institute (Worldwide Guide to Homeschooling). How my Family Came to Homeschool I mentioned this in part 1 of this series, but I’ll briefly…

    Veterans—Why Children Still Need You

    / Comments Off on Veterans—Why Children Still Need You

    This Veterans Day, not only do I want to express my appreciation, but I also want to remind veterans of why our children still need you. Those who have served in our Armed Forces, during times of peace and times of war, have surely done so with our children in mind.

    / Comments Off on Are You Stretched to a Numbing Ineffectiveness?

      by Sally Matheny   Embarrassing ineffectiveness The day I sashayed into the church with the back corner of my dress firmly tucked inside my pantyhose ranks in the top five of my most embarrassing moments.   Before the morning worship service, I corralled my two toddlers and I into the restroom. Anyone with toddlers knows this is no easy feat. After chasing the youngest down the sanctuary aisle, we finally settled into a pew. Immediately, a sweet teenage girl quietly slipped in the pew behind me informing me of my predicament. If I could crawl under the pew and slither out, I would have. My four-year-old daughter’s squeaky voice pelted,…

    John Tesh Concert: Talent, Testimonies and T-Shirts

    / 3 Comments

    A few years ago my sweet hubby and I attended a John Tesh concert. This was our first time hearing John Tesh and his touring ensemble. We were enthralled. Kicking off the concert was the webmaster for www.tesh.com. This guy had the voice and enthusiasm of a high school cheerleader. He pumped up the crowd about the website and a special promotion for the evening. If the words “tesh.com” were mentioned, and if the crowd cheered, the webmaster would appear and throw T-shirts out to the crowd. A great deal of laughter ensued after he explained his limited budget. Apparently, he made the T-shirts himself. They were Fruit of the Loom, large, white,…
