We have been trained to see everything from a negative side-view. Governments, money, morality, social issues, standard of living.
I believe that thinking and speaking with a dark foreboding expectation of the future sets things in motion so that our decisions begin creating the very things we say we dread. Our expectation of the future is causing us to build that future.
However, the opposite is also true. If we can turn our gaze on Jesus, our expectations can be adjusted so they are positive.
Hope of the future sets the ball rolling. When we believe everything is working for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purposes, our individual decisions begin to look different. We are falling into plans for a hopeful future, and, in doing so we are helping to create that future as an optimistic one.

Before we decide where we stand on reproductive rights, it would be good to find out where they came from! This is part four in our unit study for mommies on babies. I hope you enjoy it, although the truth isn't always pleasant. In the near future we will deal with the truth about pregnancy and childbirth, as well as explore the positives of motherhood.

"The material conditions of life will continue to get better for most people in most countries most of the time, indefinitely. Within a century or two, all nations and most of humanity will be at or above today’s Western living standards. I also speculate, however, that many people will continue to think and say that the conditions of life are getting worse." This is a quote by Julian Simon, an economist who fought against the lie of overpopulation. In his understanding, human beings are NOT a cancerous blight, but our greatest natural resource!

President Trump promises to be a great friend of homeschooling, and for this we are so very thankful, but we are also thankful that he is too wise to put homeschooling on the government dole.

There is no suggestion here that family or children (especially lots of children) will fulfill all dreams and solve all societal ills. I know first-hand that children are messy, smelly, and disruptive. They cost a lot, even if you cook from scratch and shop at Goodwill. Too often they take all of your loving care and throw it back in your face as a "thank you."
But there is more. Much, much more. There is SO much more, in fact, that it would take a million podcasts to tell you about the exponential benefits of doing things God's way.
Listen in to find out just some of them.

The modern homeschooling movement has been unabashedly political from its inception. This election cycle should be no exception--we explore some Biblically-based reasons in this video. I searched but could not find a good article about the negative intentions for the Common School movement--the search engine I used could only speak of it in glowing terms. So, I found a page from an important education site (learninfreedom.org) that gives reference to a number of books which you may find interesting. Here it is: https://learninfreedom.org/school_sta...

Emergency situations are where homeschooling gives us the upper hand have the upper hand. We don't need buildings or paid staff to enjoy organic learning. We can teach (and learn along with our children) anytime, anywhere. This podcast gives some suggestions as to how to go about it.

I know we all come to homeschooling from different angles. We often stumble into it. We even think we can buy a stack of books and keep "education" in its own separate compartment and keep living like we always have.
But this doesn't go very well for very long.

Like a delicious, well-cooked and seasoned meal, education is supposed to nourish both body and soul. It is not supposed to be dutifully shoved down in huge amounts until it becomes loathsome.
I know, because I have been so guilty of doing this myself. I have been guilty of making Charlotte Mason cry.

So, your children are growing up. You've been enjoying the learning journey so far (except for maybe learning to read and long division), but the years ahead are blurry and unsure. Are you really capable of facing the years ahead? I say YES--you can homeschool your teens!
And this is from many years, and many children, of experience. So far, we have "graduated" 13 of our 15 children. All of them were homeschooled until graduation.

There are only so many hours in each day, and there is a limit to how much learning we can cram in. Sadly, many of the "fun" things we thought we'd have more time for when homeschooling get pushed off to the side.
Autodidacting gives us a way to legitimately pursue our passions and interests, but with structure and accountability.

Today I am sharing a perspective on parenting from this side of rearing our 15 children over the past 41 years. One of the take-aways is the realization we lead and guide, but we don't have to carry the outcomes when we place our children in God's big, big hands.

Having a peaceful home leads to peaceful homeschooling. When we get our household running on rails of habit and routine, we find we have more "brain space," time, and energy for all of the learning activities with our children.

Now, we all know that, no matter how ethereal our intentions may be, we live in a real world with real people and real agendas which attempt to contradict God's plans on almost every plain. Caesar never stops at a little excising, he takes a little here, a little there, and he continues to grab until he swallows the whole.
We all experience excising, some more than others. This is why we must learn and train our children to understand just where Caesar's boundaries are, and when he grabs for more than his due we can cheat.
This is not the cheating of corruption. It is not stealing from others or living in lies. It is keeping ourselves from living lies. It is using the system for its original intentions, which have been buried beneath the behemoth stack of bureaucratic eduspeak and intellitalk.
It's allowing our children to actually THINK and learn, but making it look like they are only parroting and shuffling along in line like good little drones.
