Victory
I love writing, it has always been my most favorite thing to do. Whether journal writing, or writing a story, bible class material, e-mail, snail-mail, it doesn’t matter. Putting together thoughts onto paper, or onto a computer screen is to me a wonderful way to express thoughts, feelings, concerns, joys or even sorrows Last year I was ready to pull…

In Marriage You Need to Grow in LOVE
Many people start out in a relationship saying that they are falling in love. It’s the feeling of losing control of one’s emotions that feels like falling. But, when we fall we end up getting hurt.

It’s a Snow Day @ Great Peace Academy
I remember clearly staying up until the 11:00 news to see if our schools would be closed due to snow the following morning. ‘Please say Logan County Schools’ became or mantra as we sat if front of the tv. If they didn’t we’d get up early and repeat the process the next morning. And if such a blessed event were…

New History for the New Year
I can’t believe it! Today out of nowhere I changed our history curriculum. I loved what I was using, MofH but it just was not working for me. I couldn’t figure out how to get it to fit into our regular routine of things. It took a lot of prep work on my part, it took a lot of time…
