Homeschooling Posted on March 7, 2008 By pamela As California goes, so goes the nation. ASAP: Go to the HSLDA site http://hslda.org where you can sign the ‘depublishing’ petition against a lower court ruling that could essentially outlaw homeschooling and/or have incredible implications against parents, homeschoolers and, ultimately, homeschooling in California. HSLDA 540-338-5600 Focus on the Family –… Read more
Timothy in Ghana Posted on January 21, 2008 By pamela I’ve added a letter and some pictures to Timothy’s pages on our site. Our son Timothy is a missionary in Ghana, West Africa, and I’ve made a couple of pages for his letters and updates, pictures and contact information. I hope you enjoy them… I’ve loved talking with him on… Read more
So, another chapter’s underway. Posted on January 9, 2008 By pamela We just returned from Portland. The trashcan full of empty Starbucks cups, orange peels, granola bar wrappers and baggies of bits of remaining mashed sandwiches tells part of the story. It seems as though a week has passed since 5:00 am. The long drive home is just one of many… Read more

And there was “more tomorrow.” There was more “tomorrow” in yesterday than I’ve had in a very long time. And so… I mull over my closing statement: “more tomorrow.” I mull it over and consider: what… Read more
A families’ Rubicon Posted on September 13, 2007 By pamela Throughout the week I’ve been thinking on some of the talks men gave during our fellowship on Sunday. We gather each week with believers in a home church and each week our meeting is in the form of an open meeting – meaning, that in addition to singing and prayer,… Read more
Hannah’s Baptism Posted on September 6, 2007 By pamela This is the first of several posts… I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3John 1.4 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism… Read more
