Abstinence as abuse, or society keeps getting stranger

Now it is abuse to not kiss a guy before marriage?
Michelle looks happy enough, but it can’t possibly be real. Not when:
her parents so brainwashed her from the time she was not capable of making an informed decision, and then insulated her from society to maintain that indoctrination so severely, that this girl has [...]

Some thoughts on teen rebellion

Feeling a bit “homesick” I spent entirely too much time watching old German rock songs on YouTube last night. I came across an old one by Die Ärzte that I hadn’t heard before, Rebell (Rebel). It is an interesting cry of a generation, with the first line perfectly expressing the rebellion we see [...]

Shout to the Lord

This morning during worship, we began singing “Shout to the Lord.” Somewhere in the refrain, I felt tears welling up in my eyes and I started to get choked. I don’t usually cry. Not even during those “chick flicks” my husband teases me about. And it had nothing to do with [...]

Building Childhood Memories

We have been listening to “On the Banks of Plum Creek” by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It is amazing to listen to her account of her childhood. Her family had so little…a rag doll and some paper dolls Ma had cut out of old papers were prized treasures. And yet they were so [...]

Homeschooling with a new baby

The last month has been a bit of a challenge as I have been trying to keep up with my eight year old’s full homeschooling schedule, continuing my four year old’s early literacy program, caring for our new baby, and most recently dealing with the fact that daddy is gone. Not out of the [...]

Mother’s Day Reflection

My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune.
~Graycie Harmon

When I look into my newborn’s eyes, hold her tiny foot or feel her steady breathing against my chest as she sleeps, I am overwhelmed by this miracle. Overwhelmed [...]
