One of the assignments from the Read Aloud Revival‘s Master Class Focus and Align (available through membership) was to determine your overarching “this is what we do daily” Rule of Six. I’m still mulling, but here’s a first stab. It is based on my Words of the Year from 2015 and 2016 bookending the “Four Ws”…
For Today… September 7, 2015 Outside my window…. the fog has burned off and the sun is in the sky. I am thinking… about the 4 Ws of Wonder-Work-Wisdom-Worship. Particularly wonder right now. I am thankful… for holidays when my husband is home for the day. I am wearing… My new Buckeye shirt. It’s gameday!…
It has been several months since I posted about *revel*, my 2015 word of the year. That doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it. In April, I thought about writing Revel in Rest after the convention.

I’ve been “off again” reading The Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark and Ravi Scott Jain in my “on again-off again” reading. But when my reading was “on again,” I marked it heavily. It is so very good. I wanted to share this quote from quite a while ago because it is my goal (for…
I’ve been reading through Ravi Jain and Kevin Clark’s new book The Liberal Arts Tradition while sitting at basketball practices these last couple of months. I am enjoying it quite a bit – especially the parts I understand well which makes me more comfortable with the parts I *don’t* quite get. I already quoted it…
I’m reading the new book about Christian Classical Education from Classical Academic Press. I’m still in the introduction, but am finding it to be excellent so far (and going right along with what so many are posting in Desiring the Kingdom). The book is called The Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark and Ravi Scott…
