One Decision at a Time

I praise the Lord for His tremendous blessing on the teaching of character in the public schools. What a joy it is to be here and channel God’s love to the children He brings across my path. Usually it is in the classroom but there are also opportunities over lunch, in the library or during […]

“Now We’re in One Accord!”

The Spirit of the Lord is here! Powerful testimonies were flowing freely for almost three hours this evening as the Dad’s Conference began to draw to a close. Right now it is 11:30 at night and the lobby of the Indianapolis Training Center is buzzing with the fellowship of fathers openly sharing their hearts with […]

Birthday Celebrations

Since our family was planning to take a vacation to Virginia the weekend of Donald’s and my birthdays, we decided to celebrate them a week early. Throughout the day that we celebrated my birthday, a late and heavy snow drifted down outside, which added to the cozy atmosphere inside. Every one took time out of their […]

A “New” Approach to Life!

During the Wilkes’ stay at our house last weekend we watched the Advanced Seminar with them. It was a very encouraging time for both our families. The wealth of information presented by Dr. Gothard and several other speakers prompted many insightful discussions during the breaks between each video. Donald and Dad put many hours into planning […]

Visit From Virginia

Last week some friends from Virginia, the Wilkes, came. One of my favorite things was playing basketball knock out. Even though it was hard to win, everybody was a good sport and we all had a good time. The Wilkes’ are also getting bees! So Michael taught them all about bee keeping. God blessed us with […]

Bee Analogy

Well, the crocuses bloomed last week! With joy we watched the honeybees crawl in and out of the colorful blooms. A day earlier, Michael and I had gone to the Beekeepers’ Meeting. That week the speaker was Harold Miller—a weathered mountaineer “who lives in his bee yard”. Between giving tips and answering questions, he mentioned something to beware of: something that […]

Tapping into God’s Creation

The end of winter tends to be a barren time of year. Gardens are in the planning and planting stage. Most of the stored provisions from the previous year’s harvest are getting low. But even though the grass is brown and the trees still bear, there is a harvest to be reaped hidden deep in […]

A paragraph from Washington

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious […]

Bringing Health to the Hurting

I enjoyed spending this past week at the Indianapolis Training Center, helping Mr. Gothard and Dr. Paine as they hosted a Total Health Seminar. Even though the dates of the seminar were only finalized a few weeks in advance, a remarkable number of attendees showed up to learn how to identify the root causes of […]
