Common Core and equality
(This post contains affiliated links.) A lot has been said about Common Core, from the problems with the standards themselves to the dangers of data mining. While it doesn’t directly affect homeschool students, the data collection and shifting standardized tests to common core standards will probably have some impact on homeschoolers. For me, one of the […]

Thoughts on worship: Transcendent and intimate
The beauty of the intimacy the Christian has with God is inextricably linked with the wonders of a transcendent God who breaches the gap between the eternal and omnipotent to reach the finite and fragile. It’s the fact that the God of Job is also the Shepherd, the Shelterer. The wonder of the Incarnation is […]

Praying for peace
Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting for Syria. I’m not Catholic, but I don’t think Pope Francis will mind me joining in.

Planning in pencil
This is our 9th year of homeschooling, if you count kindergarten. Of course, as any parent can tell you, kids start learning in utero and turn their wide eyes toward the sound of daddy’s voice the moment they hear it unfiltered by the lub-lub of mom’s heart.

A laymom’s thoughts on Syria
