Wednesdays with Words: Hallowing His Holy Ones
A couple of weeks ago, I posted in my Daybook this quote from When You Pray, “We cannot hallow God until God hallows us.” I’ve been reading When You Pray by Philip Graham Ryken for a month or two now and very much enjoying it. I’m finding it very helpful in my own praying of the…
Podcast Addicted: The Homeschool Snapshots Podcast
This series isn’t a countown. I’m just planning on sharing my favorite podcasts. As a home educator, most of them are directly about homeschooling, and I’m going to do the education ones first.
