In our decision to homeschool our children, we give action to a fundamental desire to avoid a confusion of authority. Our ultimate authority is God’s Word and we desire to never undermine that, especially as our children are concerned.

If you’ve ever struggled with the serious illness of candy addiction, the answer is no. On the rare occasion that I would relinquish a bag of fruity candy prior to inhaling all its [...]
This is one of those recipes that deserves a post. It is not only tasty but highly functional and will make your life better. Of course, I’m not the first person to put butter and coconut stuff in coffee. Folks all over the internet are doing it. I learned about it from this guy, but I [...]

I didn’t even bother taking “before” pictures. Why would I? Every year for more than a decade I had resolved that this would be the year I finally got my weight under control. The amount of weight I needed to lose grew each year. I’d done Weight Watchers, The Zone, Body For Life, South Beach [...]
