The men’s team continues to display a superior ability to put personal differences aside to get the job done. The women’s team? Too caught up in catfighting to catch basic mistakes: not putting the Dairy Queen logo on the character, and not considering the market demographics. Very unwise of Toral […]

School@home has been studying floods lately. They even built an ark in their garage!
How the flood theme emerged:
I would love to be able to say I planned that stellar lesson plan with all the hands on activities, lessons, resources and everything ahead of time. But I did not. God worked […]

There’s a yarn store within walking distance of our house. We walked there after dinner yesterday–MFH wanted to get yarn to make a case for his long-awaited and soon-to-arrive ipod Nano. I bought some yarn too, and I can see that walking to the yarn store is going to become a regular habit […]

A testimony from the Ladies Against Feminism archive:
However, the more I have embraced my role, the destiny God always had for me, the happier I have been. My life as a feminist was miserable, very sad. God’s grace has brought me to a life I don’t deserve–a much better life. It is, after all, the […]

He talked about different models of interaction between science and theology, and about working toward a “mutuality” model. The models include: independence, contact with conflict, conflict […]

Organizing from the Inside Out, by Julie Morgenstern. This book is geared toward helping you develop your own organization scheme, rather than the author’s, or anyone else’s. It includes asking the questions “What’s working?” and “What’s not working?” and developing a strategy before you tackle your piles of clutter. The first two […]

What She Said, a feminist blog, has made it onto my “Ew, gross!” list for this statement opposing John Roberts. Not for opposing Roberts, but for completely misrepresenting the pro-life movement. (The “anti-choice” label is one of the reasons that I vehemently refuse to be called a feminist. I only oppose […]

I don’t mean in raising this issue to discredit, disparage, or in any way deny what each of us may believe about the higher or deeper […]
