5 Tips for Keeping Digital Systems Organized & Productive

Guest post by Mystie Winckler of Simply Convivial Whether your calendar and to do lists are kept on paper or digitally, the trick is to actually use them, to actually look at them. Digital planning systems present a unique challenge because of the possibility of distraction. We might grab our phone from our pocket to check our to-do list but end up browsing Facebook instead. Although calendars and lists kept online and in apps are easier to organize, keep clean, and have always on hand, ... read more

How We Use Kindle Fires in Our Home School, Part Two: Audio Books and Music

Update (10/29/2020) Audible books are now available through the children's profiles on the Fires, so the Audible hacks in this post are no longer necessary. You can now very simply add books from your Audible library to your children's profiles through the settings in the parental controls. I love that this allows ONLY the audiobooks I select and does not give access to any other part of Audible. This is still the most child safe and friendly way I have found to utilize Audible. I believe the ... read more

The Old Paths: Seek, Walk, Rest

In this crazy world we can lose our way. Under the influences of the culture surrounding us we can become like the proverbial frog in the pot of boiling water; so unaware of what is actually happening that we don't even comprehend the danger of our situation.  Truth is being attacked at an increasing rate and it is crucial that we know what is True and what is counterfeit; where we are headed and why we are going there. To accomplish this, we must become diligent students of God and His Word. ... read more

Deuteronomy 6, Scholé, and Homeschooling Through Affliction

When my older children were still toddlers I discovered the Charlotte Mason homeschooling method. I was delighted. I was homeschooled myself and was looking forward to the day when my babies would be old enough for school. I had been praying for guidance in how I should teach them and I was thrilled with how God had answered. (I still am.) Being a researcher, I spent many happy hours devouring articles, books and blogs on Charlotte Mason education. I loved how these practical, gentle - ... read more

When Thou Liest Down…

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deuteronomy 6:6,7 These beautiful words are a powerful command to Christian parents. Often used–and rightly so–as an ... read more

“Thus out of small beginnings greater things hav “Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many...”
William Bradford

Thank you for your example Emily - for so beautifully living this out in your daily, obedient, God glorifying faithfulness.  #vigilforem
"So they committed themselves to the will of God, "So they committed themselves to the will of God, and resolved to proceed." ~ William Bradford
"...they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of "...they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work." ~ William Bradford
"They brought up their families, in sturdy virtue "They brought up their families, in sturdy virtue and a living faith in God, without which Nations perish." ~ Pilgrim Mother's Monument, Plymouth, MA
Fellow Christians, don’t let the Left shame you Fellow Christians, don’t let the Left shame you into accepting defeat. The media does not get to decide who is the President of the United States. 

Standing and fighting for truth is NOT being a “sore loser”. Recognizing and acknowledging that fraud is being committed, and calling for justice to be served, is not only absolutely appropriate, it’s crucial. There IS a time to stand and fight. There IS a time to draw a line in the sand. 

The election of a President isn’t on the same level as sports. The future of our country hangs in the balance. This isn’t about having a good, fair game and then laughing and shaking hands and slapping each other on the back and continuing with life as usual. 

Nor is this just “politics”. You cannot separate politics from morality. There is right, and there is wrong. The Left stands and fights for things that fly in the face of God. The Left creates gods in their own image. The Left tramples the Word of God. The Left is determined to allow babies to literally be brutally tortured and murdered and offered on the altars of their false gods. The Left has spent months sowing discord, rewriting history, redefining words, rioting, looting, killing, and burning down the country. 

Consider these things before you capitulate to manipulation and gas lighting and blame shifting. 

Consider these things before you try to be a “good sport” and congratulate Joe Biden, or say “God bless him”, or wish him well. Think long and hard about what you are actually doing and whose side you are on: 

“For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:11

Pray. This is a war that is being waged in the heavenlies. Stand firm. Draw the line. Hold the line. Fight for truth. Our God is the God of Truth and He wins. The battle is the Lord’s.
“Autumn, the years last, loveliest smile.” - W “Autumn, the years last, loveliest smile.” - William Cullens Bryant
