Turning the Tide Video By Dr. Charles Stanley

This morning, I watched a great and important video on television from Dr. Charles Stanley.  The message was about what happens when a nation violates the laws of God and what happens when people govern themselves based on preference rather than the principles of God. He relates the current events of our day to the Scriptures. He talks about how Socialism has been creeping in our society and is about to destroy our nation and economy.

Are you LOST?

Me and my wife has been watching LOST seasons 1-5 the last two months on Hulu. We have been watching season 6 since the beginning of this season.  We were hooked in season 1 episodes and couldn't stop watching them.  When we watched the last episode, we had mixed reactions. My wife and I was disappointed with the ending and we thought the sideways view of things was terribly lacking.  What was the point of Desmond getting all those people together throughout the season and then to end in a great cum-by-ya church moment that they all made it to heaven. Oh well.

Since the LOST final episode was played last Sunday, there has been many interesting articles and media that has been published.

Here are some interesting articles to read:

The Other Half Speaks: Kaylynnless

Okay, I know my husband is better at this blogging thing than me. I really did intend to blog sooner. So, here is an update.

Our homeschool will be officially ending for this first year of kindergarten next Friday. I have one more lesson to complete in My Father's World that we skipped over and that is Dinosaurs. Not because we don't want to learn about Dinosaurs but because earlier this year Kaylynn wanted to learn about anything but Dinosaurs. So, rather than make a big issue about it, and say we have to learn about Dinosaurs because that is what is on the curriculum schedule we skipped ahead to another lesson about Jewels. Which of course she loved.

I want to say that I have enjoyed My Father's World and Kaylynn has too! Her greatest challenge has been concentration and writing! I have seen some improvements for which we give thanks to the Lord! She has grown in her reading and she enjoys science and math. Paul and I had been debating on whether to stay with My Father's World and get the 1st grade curriculum, pursue something else, or find a cheap used version of first grade and modify Exploring Countries and Cultures, which is a second/third - eighth grade level. A road trip to see Grandpa Steve in Minneapolis, MN gave us a few clues that Kaylynn was interested in maps, as she kept wanting to know where we were at, where we were going, and wanted to see it on the atlas map that we took with us. We have also know that Kaylynn enjoys looking at the World Globe and can name quite a few places. Add to that, that another homeschool family with three girls had offered to have us over on Fridays to do some projects together if we chose ECC. However, we decided to just get MFW First grade and to supplement with some other curriculum.

We are going to our first homeschool conference at the end of July and want to look at some of the curriculum that is available together, and then make some decisions from there. I think one of the drawbacks to the MFW curriculum for us is wanting to implement using the computer with the curriculum. What I did this year is that for every lesson rather than looking up information in an encyclopedia, we used the computer to find links to websites with information on the topic for that weeks lesson, as well as videos and games that would correspond to the topic. Kaylynn really enjoyed having this interactive way to learn facts about the topic of the week.

      The Other Half Speaks: First Daddy/Daughter date

      Paul and Kaylynn went out for the first daddy/daughter date tonight. They headed toward Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Parlor by the Fountain in town. I am praying for some sweet time tonight for the both of them. That this will give Paul an opportunity to implant godly and wonderul things into Kaylynn's heart. That she would know that she is the apple of her daddy's eye! That she would develop a deeper relationship with her father and enjoy being in his presence. That the Lord would give grace for all these things and more than I could ask, think, or imagine!
