The Favorite Child
My wife always says I have a favorite child. I don’t think I do, although one annoys me a little less than others. 🙂 Still I try and be fair however I am easily manipulated by my crazy little girls. Last night we had a MATCH Homeschool Co-Op showcase and four of my kids played music and/or had […]
August Quotations
Ending up the month I figure I had better get them all up for future use. Facebook will end and the next latest and greatest will replace it. So I post these here for a record I can control and keep …
Strife
Proverbs 28:25-26 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. This week I have been reminded of the face of pride and […]

I agree with biblical conflict resolution but this seems to make it more than that… what are your thoughts? We believe that Christians are […]
Verse of the Day : Romans 14:8-9
For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Romans 14:8-9
Who’s writing do you study?
I get asked who’s writings and teachings I read and I rattle off a few from the top of my head, I went to write a list and of course I put the Bible first… but then I started looking at my list and I realized that I read a lot of people who have errors in their theology. […]
