The following is a guest post from my new bloggy friend, Courtney at Lil Light O’ Mine. Enjoy! What is your #1 goal as a parent? To love your child unconditionally? To shelter them and protect them? To teach them everything in the Bible? To keep them out of jail? To raise them up to [...]

Raising Your Kids To Love the Lord

I collect parenting books. It doesn’t mean I read them all. But I do collect them. Maybe it makes me feel like a better parent just owning them? Maybe I’ll learn by osmosis? Anywhoo. I got an email from Tommy Nelson a few weeks ago about a new parenting book. I wasn’t going to review [...]

Goodness: Fruit of the Spirit: Lime Sun Catchers

We made it! We got to the final Fruit of the Spirit! I can’t believe it. Next time I do a “unit”, I’m going to try to keep it under half a year! Sheesh. As we’ve gone through this unit, I usually picked the fruit we’d focus on based on what was going on in [...]
