By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey There are countless methods, styles, and curricula for successfully teaching our children at home.

By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey Our family has been ‘growing up’ in our faith in recent years. Of course, growing up in the knowledge of God is a great thing! But when we first became Christians over twenty years ago, we got into the Pharisaical trap that offered us a sense of ‘faith’ and ‘Christianity’ by […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey When God calls us to be salt and light, it opens up a wonderful opportunity to get out of our comfort zone and be His ambassadors to the world around us. It calls us to a place of newness and openness to whatever He has in store for us, […]

Anna and Julia Jackson By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey If you’re anything like me, with politics ranking somewhere behind going to the dentist, you might be surprised to find that supporting our government or our politicians doesn’t always mean that we become versed in the bureaucratic lingo of the day, nor that we even know […]

Homeschooling: The Topic of Conversation
By Contributing Writer, Kelly Crawford I was driving, rather lost in thought, zoned by the double lines in front of me, when he asked the third question. “But how will they know?” I had probably answered his first two questions with a half-lying, “I don’t know”, the result of not really listening. “How will they […]

By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell When Natalie shared that August’s topic would be homeschooling, I had concern as to what I could add or share about this month.
