It was our first week of a new year! Our first day we traditionally get something sweet for breakfast, but the weather was such that I didn’t want to go out, so Cinnamon Rolls and scrambled eggs it was: I realized this morning that we didn’t do our traditional self-portraits or interview pages. I’ll need…
“… He is so close to Nature every moment that he has become part of it. He is as honest as Nature itself; and as big and clean and as simple. He has grown, with roots deep in the soil, as naturally as that tree. He can’t be wrong, he doesn’t know HOW to be…
For Today… Looking out my window … it is still night and darkness shrouds. I am thinking … about atmosphere, discipline, and life. I am thankful … for wise teachers – from my pastor, to Charlotte Mason, to Paul, to the psalmist, to God himself. Lead me in paths of righteousness for your name’s sake,…
