  Judgment

• I came across this article today in the Washington Post: Tebow’s Super Bowl ad isn’t intolerant; its critics are by Sally Jenkins. Ms. Jenkins declares right away that she is pro-choice when it comes to abortion, but she and I would agree on most every other point in her article.

  Jenkins writes about Tim Tebow and [...]

  God Bless Tim Tebow…
  and His MOM!

• Another lesson from the kids about obedience, and a little about ADD.

  When I was a kid, I noticed that it was important to my Dad that I color inside the lines. I didn’t remember it though until what I call his “second fleet” came along when he married and had kids with another woman after [...]

  Coloring inside the lines

• Just signing on to the blog today to say yellow. I mean hello, but shoot, I typed ‘yellow’ so what the heck, let’s run with it. Yellow, world. How’s your Christmas shaping up? Mine is beautiful, and very sad too, but ultimately glorious.

  The Dream

• Liv has this thing where she says “uh oh” to just about anything that doesn’t go her way. It started out just when she dropped or spilled something, but now it’s when she comes upon the safety gate or when M is playing with a toy she wants, or even once when the cable TV [...]

  Small Stuff

• Someone asked me recently why we weren’t homeschooling this year, more specifically, “why didn’t it work out?” I should answer that because it’s not at all about it not working out. It worked out just fine and I’d do it again if the circumstances were right.

  Why we chose homeschool last year

  Breaking from homeschool

• During study group a few weeks ago a friend expressed concern for her mother who is going through a difficult time financially. This stay-at-home mother of two talked about wanting to go back to work to help her mom, how she felt she wasn’t honoring her mother as the commandment says.

  As she talked about “honor” [...]
