For those of you who are still thinking about joining LOLACHE, here are a few comments about membership that were expressed in the last few days: “I Wouldn’t think of not being a LOLACHE member, the resources and blogs and kids forum all bless us so much.” MG “LOLACHE membership is the best investment ever!” CF… Continue reading Making Their Concerns Your Own

Paying Attention to GPS
Yesterday was a big day for my kiddos. They’ve been volunteering for a local film project, and yesterday was auditions in downtown Seattle. My kids were helping to run the auditions, and so they left relatively early in the morning with their lunches packed, and money in their pockets for a quick dinner on the… Continue reading Paying Attention to GPS

Unsubmitted?
[from the archives] I realize my recent blog posts (starting with Escalating Control) have brought a challenge in thinking to those who believe it is unsubmissive and therefore sinful for a wife to admonish or correct her husband. Loving admonishment and correction are good and necessary for the Christian life—for ALL Christians. Admonishment means to… Continue reading Unsubmitted?
Sowing Seeds and Patiently Waiting
Hello Sweet Moms, I’ve been thinking about sowing and reaping lately. Galatians 6:7 tells us that whatever we sow, we will reap. I wanted to encourage you in your sowing and your patience toward your reaping today. I’ve been doing some sowing. I’m trying to grow some grass. We’ve moved into a new house, and… Continue reading Sowing Seeds and Patiently Waiting
No Longer Fostering Lies
[from the archives] Some of you have read my story of my husband’s four day long grudge and wondered, “Why didn’t you just tell him why the branches were still on the road? Why didn’t you just let him know the truth? Why didn’t you just apologize that it didn’t get done? Some of you… Continue reading No Longer Fostering Lies
A Natural Motivator
It seems of late, there are many Christian Homeschoolers who are embracing an extreme black and white idea about whether or not spanking children is God’s will. I don’t have a need to get caught up in a debate about what is God’s will in this issue or any other issue. I don’t claim that… Continue reading A Natural Motivator
Stripping Off My Former Nature
[from the archives] My story is taking several blogs to cover (starting here). I’m going into the details in order to expose the realities of dealing with our flesh, and the relational nature of what God is wanting to do in us. So often we mentally agree with truth, while failing to see how that… Continue reading Stripping Off My Former Nature
Home is Where Love Is
A couple of weeks back, some friends came to visit, and they asked, “Are you feeling settled yet?”—We had moved only two weeks prior. “Oh yes!” I said. I began to explain how I had felt settled here in our new town before we even got moved or unpacked a single box! I’d been making… Continue reading Home is Where Love Is
The Grudge Continues
[from the archives] I’m continuing my story from my last blog post. The next morning which was a Saturday morning, the kids and I went out after breakfast and cleared the rest of the branches off the road. It took a very short time, and so we set about digging up the power lines and… Continue reading The Grudge Continues
