Fine Arts Friday: Room to breathe
This post isn’t about fine arts as much as about creating the space needed to reflect on the goodness, beauty, and truth we seek to instill. Growing up, this was about the point of summer where the boredom really began to set in. In the olden days before video games (well, we had an Atari, […]

The discontent of the governed
A recent Gallup poll shows that 68% of Americans favor a national referendum on key issues. This is one more sign that Americans are increasingly less confident in their elected representatives’ ability or even desire to follow the will of the people. After more than two hundred years of representative democracy, dissatisfaction with our elected […]

The rest of the story
Facebook is an interesting place where you find out what happened to your high school friends and kids you used to babysit, find out what everyone’s had for breakfast and how far they’ve run, and get spammed by great deals on fashion and home goods. It’s also a place where various pleas for help are […]

Terrible Tuesday: The Return
I’m back in my hometown for another week. This summer is making me dizzy. Woozy links! Lately, every time I hear of another middle eastern country going up in flames, I think “Didn’t they do this already?” In the case of Egypt, yes, they did. I’ll be honest, I have a hard time following the […]

Stand for Life
Today the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee will take up Senate Bill 1. Pro-lifers in blue and abortion advocates in orange will inundate the capital, making their voices heard. Hopefully, we’ll have more Amazing Grace and less Hail Satan. I can’t be in Austin, but I’ll be wearing blue, a Doctor Who shirt […]

Our history journey with Lewis and Clark
Over the course of two years, we’re studying American history in our homeschool. We’ve been stuck Lewis and Clark for what seems like forever because of travel and camp and convention. Honestly, I haven’t minded because it’s such a fascinating adventure. A couple of years ago, I read Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose and was […]

Fine Arts Friday: Handicrafts
Since the beginning of our homeschooling journey, I’ve always been a bit gun-shy of crafts. When the kids were younger, it wasn’t that big of an issue, because preschool arts and crafts are about the level of my skill. But there are a lot of grotesquely creative homeschooling moms. Their craft projects original, interesting, and […]

Birthday must-dos
Steven Crowder put together this beautiful video on American culture, which pretty much sums up how I feel about the birthday girl. Three things every citizen should do today: First read the Declaration of Independence,the whole thing and not just the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” Read every grievance and the names of those […]

Liberty and Adventure
On July 4, 1804, Captains Lewis and Clark and the rest of the Corps of Discovery celebrated the first Independence Day west of the Mississippi by firing off their cannon.
