Redeeming Science by Vern Poythress pg. 53: Christian tolerance does not mean that all views are equally right. Rather it means that one ought to put up with others’ wrong views, out of respect for the image of God and out of respect for God’s way of dealing with others in love. Secularism then twists…
Our most recent Family Read Aloud was The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. We enjoyed this book very much! The adventures of Princess Irene and Curdie, the gentle interweaving of lessons they learned, the excellent writing give much to recommend it to even small children. The chapters being generally shorter made it easy…
FOR TODAY June 21, 2010 … The first day of summer … Outside my window… the sun is shining and the temperature is hot! I am thinking… today is the perfect day for the pool. I am thankful for… pool memberships 🙂 (are you noting a theme?) From the learning rooms… starting back with just…

From the learning rooms… quiet today and tomorrow: field day at my mom’s school with cousins. From the kitchen… fried rice tomorrow…
At conference, I picked up Wise Words by Peter Leithart. I’ve been reading it a story or so before bed, pre-reading to see if it would be good for the children as we’ve been reading Proverbs. Amazon lists the age range as 9-12, and I’d say that is much more realistic than for my 3…
Well, we’ve had good and bad this week, not as bad as last week, thankfully. We had a fun day at open gym on Tuesday with our cousins. We worked clearing the garden. Memory Work: Bible: started Genesis 1:13 … hooray for Day 3! Catechism/Creed: Moved to new catechism verse sections. R-girl only added one…
