Today is Monday. It is also Memorial Day. And “today” is the most important day in life. It is the bridge between all the past and all the future—the bud to which the branches lead and in which the blossom of the future waits. As I remember an ambitious friend telling me: “Today is the […]
Yes, there were sweaty palms and shaking knees but the focus of this recital was to recognize not only the great talent, but also the great character Christ is developing in each student as they learn to play their instrument. It takes patience to play together, it takes thoroughness to get quality tone, and it […]
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. […]
Predicted showers were short. Instead of a hindrance to the event, storm clouds became a perfect backdrop. Then suddenly a crack like thunder sounded—FROM JUST BESIDE ME! I turned to see a smoking cannon. I was shocked. We were standing by a field witnessing the reenactment of a Civil War Battle for the 150th commemoration […]
My time in Korea was absolutely fantastic! Thank you all for your support and prayers. From working on calendars and Basic Seminar materials in the office to promoting character and encouraging (and being encouraged by!) homeschool families abroad, the six and a half weeks rushed by much too quickly.

As we sang “Count your many blessings” yesterday in church, I could not help but thank the Lord for my mom! Her selfless love to lay a solid biblical foundation by homeschooling is a blessing that we as her children cannot thank her for enough. And now her constant support has encouraged us like nothing […]
April showers bring May flowers—and May Warblers! Like the Vireos, Warblers are small treetop birds better identified by voice than vision. And today’s elusive Tennessee Warbler was a first for me! At first it was only a voice in the woods. But, as He loves to do, the Lord answered a specific prayer and brought […]
Yesterday, May 5, was the National Day of Prayer. Two verses the Lord gave were particularly encouraging to me . . . “When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth . . .” and “By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted . . .” (Proverbs 11:10-11). Whether it is through […]
“Do not let the wise glory in his wisdom; and do not let the mighty glory in his might; do not let the rich glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am Jehovah, doing kindness, justice and righteousness in the earth; for […]
