If you are a regular reader here, than you know that I have been following the court case regarding home education freedom in California very closely. We are still awaiting a ruling in this case, but I thought it might be nice to post an entry showing a more personal side to this legal battle, [...]

The landmark case to decide whether home education in California is legal or illegal, has taken another turn. Oral arguments have been heard, and we are waiting on a ruling to determine whether parental rights will be upheld, or be threatened. This case has the potential to set a nation-wide precedent for homeschooling freedoms. The [...]

A week ago, we took the children to a living history museum that is local to us, to enjoy a summer festival they were having. We met with their cousins there, and a great time was had by all. Here are some pictures that were taken inside the children’s discovery zone. Lots of hands-on activities, [...]

We all want our children to know the dangers of some of the choices they might make. We tell them not to run out in the street, so that they will not get run over by a car. We tell them not to play with guns, because they might accidentally discharge the weapon, and be hurt [...]

Yesterday, I posted an entry about the ramifications that have come about in China, after the earthquake, with regard to their “one-child only” policy. This country’s misguided attempt to avoid an IMAGINED over-population crisis, has left so many families heartbroken. Flying in the face of God’s design will NEVER net you good. It is my prayer [...]

I usually tend to limit my entries to national matters when I speak about current events, but I felt the need to address a global one in this case.
Here is an example of what happens when government policy goes completely against the natural order of things. Things like…life. I for one am sickened by this [...]

I have posted entries on this blog previously about how important I think that sibling relationships are, and how we need to foster them as best as we can. The friends we make in this life, some will come, and some will go. But the friendships that we help develop among our children, will serve them [...]

I believe that every time God sends one of us a child, that he is sending a gift from heaven above. He knows what He is doing, and He always has a perfect plan for us, our lives, and for each child.
I have heard many parents speak about how they have counted each little [...]

I think it is important to have some reminders about what a gift God gives to us when He gives us our children. I like these poems because I think they help us to keep in mind how much we should love our little ones, and the impact that we have on their lives. It [...]
