Liver long and prosper
We have a family member who suffers with liver problems... including a fatty liver. There is way too much information available on the Interwebs and some of it is just plain wrong! In a nutshell though, it can be described as NASH, which stands for Non- Alcoholic...

The Shocking Youth Message
I have previously linked and recommended an online sermon by Paul Washer... called the Shocking Youth Message (called such by others, not by Mr. Washer). httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cncEhCvrVgQ&feature=video_response But I think it's also really good to watch...

Someone turned 18 the other day. A great cause for celebration in our home.
When Joking Hurts: A Lesson from Proverbs
I’ve often been asked to share what our Bible study looks like using our methods as outlined in a Bible Based Education. Here is a quick lesson. Bear in mind that I didn’t write this lesson plan before hand…I was reading it in my Bible during my quiet time and thought it was too good (read: relevant) to not share with my children.
Which Bible?
Which Bible do we use? Quite a few! Some are better than others for reading or studying. What am I able to read and understand? What will I actually read, as opposed to leave sitting on the bedside table? The Bible has been translated into over 75 different...

Biblical Principles of Parenting by John MacArthur
What we desperately need is a return to the biblical principles of parenting. Christian parents don’t need new, shrink-wrapped programs; they need to apply and obey consistently the few simple principles that are clearly set forth for parents in God’s Word, such as...

Consider Our Ways this New Year
Consider your ways! (Haggai 1:5) Life... it's full of new beginnings! Unlike yesterday, today is the beginning of a new year. Who knows what this year will bring each family? God, the author and finisher of our faith does! I love a new year. I like new starts. Maybe...
Looking Ahead
It's the last day... of the year 2010 and this is a re-post from last year with a few updates. I've reviewed the year...various aspects of our life and family. Yes, I've taught manners, English, Maths and Science. I've taught life skills, domestic skills, health,...

My Greatest Joy
Is there anything better as a parent, than to witness one's adult child profes their love for the Lord? I don't think so. 🙂 All my children professed their love for the Lord from a young age and whilst I took great delight in it I always felt that the true measure of...
Wifey Wednesday: Greeting Him
How do you greet your husband when he returns home?
Appreciating the value of natural learning
We decided not to use the same approach with the boys, allowing them the freedom to learn naturally, preferring to focus more heavily on training their character and life skills. We knew there would come a time when academics would need to become of greater importance- we weren’t dissing it, rather trying to balance it in a wholistic way.
In But Not Of
Be in it but not of it. It is 10min long but grab a cuppa and be prepared!
