And it has been sort of a peculiar path we’ve traveled over the last few years – one, that for a variety of reasons, I’m not sure I’d ever have chosen early on in our life, but one I’m thankful to be traveling now. And this morning I read an article that resonates well with our experience. I haven’t talked a lot about “home-churching” bcz it tends to be one of those sort of “volatile” subjects – you know, the home birth vs. hospital, or unmedicated brith vs. medicated, home-school vs. public school and on and on. Also, when sort…

ENN, that is! A little friend of ours shares a bit about their little town, Dichton, on the Everyday News Network. A division of the Vision Forum, the Everyday News Network, presents short video stories highlighting everyday things of family life. Every family can benefit from the seeing and hearing of others’ “everyday events” and stories of life in other families. I share more about this in my “Slices of Life.”

I received this letter from Lighthouse Trails today. Interesting. —-ps This story is a follow up to our previous AFA articles that you may view here. American Family Association’s Resource Center is now including categories in their Spiritual Growth section (*see note below) titled: “Mysticism,” “Contemplative Life,” and “Spiritual Formation.” As we have reported in the past, AFA has been aware that many of the books they sell on their site promote pantheism, altered states of consciousness (i.e., the silence), Eastern mysticism, etc. Emails to numerous customers from AFA staff, as well as AFA president Tim Wildmon, indicated that these…

Praise the LORD! And may He be honoured and blessed throughout the 2007 year. Psalm 65 1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 5 By terrible things in…

It’s amazing to me tonight to consider that ten years have passed since I held my newborn in my arms. I smiled this morning as Wes read the “Christmas story” account from the book of Luke. How incredible it must’ve been for Mary to ponder in her heart all that she had heard and had now seen. I gave birth to our baby Naomi in the comfort and warmth of our home on Christmas night ten years ago. I had the protection, comfort and loving attention of my precious husband and our caring midwife. Our children were safe and warm…

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2.10-14

♫ It’s the most wonderful time of the year… ♪ It’s the happ–iest season of alllllll… ♪ I was baking cookies and making fudge last night while listening from time to time to the music in the background. I think that song came on a half dozen times and I got to thinking about some of the words to that song and then to another: I’ll be home for Christmas… You can count on me… I’ll be home for Christmas… if on-ly ♪ in my dreams. My cynical side piped in: O, yes, you can *count on me!* -if only…

We celebrate so many things this year… the blessing of the gift, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our LORD and Saviour. How how great is the love of the Father that He lavishes us daily with gifts and joy unspeakable. We celebrate the birth of our Saviour and praise the God of Heaven and earth for His goodness and mercy. As each day passes, we are more profoundly aware of how little we can fathom the love of God. So… all we can do is take the gift of salvation and say: Thank You, LORD… thank You. We…

Each day there are tremendously encouraging or insightful blog entries that I wish I had time to link and share and, in addition, we receive emails each day from brothers and sisters in many different places and walks of life, along with an entry or two in our guestbook on our website each day and I wish I could share them all. From time to time I highlight a guest’s website so that others can also enjoy what we’re seeing and be blessed by other people’s efforts. Today was no exception. Two , in particular, stood out today. One, as…
