And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. (Isaiah 54:13) Since we receive quite a few Christian and homeschool publications in the mail, we’re always getting junk mail offering us a wide range of Christian and Bible based products and services. Though it would probably save me time to simply toss all the junk mail in the trash, I feel ...
Heaven!
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2) We’re teaching the girls about heaven.

Throughout the day, I sent up little prayers asking God to give me the strength and patience I needed to tackle my “to do” list. Thankfully God heard my ...
