Last Homeschool Year to Plan

It's that time of year...again, except this time will be the last time. I'm planning for our last year of homeschooling. My youngest will be starting her senior year. I have many mixed emotions about this. I've known this day would be arriving. I've scrambled my brain with thoughts of, "What will I do with myself when we graduate her?" amongst other frantic ponderings. This has been my life for 20 years. Twenty. TWENTY!!! I have a hard time wrapping my head around this number. Thankfully, I have put some thought into transitioning into another stage in life. Of course, she will still need me. She graduates at 17. Since I have four other children who are grown ups, and they still need me, I know she will also. I'm not completely sad. I'm only somewhat sad. It's actually exciting. I'm excited to see her mature over the next year. I'm even excited to see myself mature. My plan is to enjoy every last moment of teaching my daughter at home...

A Podcast Recommendation for Crime Buffs

I have a new addiction...a podcast that my oldest daughter introduced to me. I started listening to Up and Vanished about midway through the season. I frantically binged until I caught up to the current episode.  Now, the season is over. What will I do with myself now on Monday evenings? Seriously. This podcast gripped me from the beginning. Then, just when you thought you had everything figured out, it took a new twist. This is true crime investigation at its best. The most interesting part of this entire podcast is the fact that it played a crucial role in the sovlving/conclusion of a 12 year old cold case. The podcast stirred the pot of an unsolved murder in a small town in Georgia. Questions were raised and people came forward to tell their stories. I'm continuing to follow this case. Arrest(s) were made, a gag order enforced, and more questions raised than answers. The trial should be coming up soon. If you're in to this sort of thing, I highly recommend Up and Van...

From Bitter to Better

My earlier post came about because of a recent bible study. I was studying the book of Ruth last week. I love Ruth. This time though, I studied from Naomi's point of view. Here are some notes from my journal. Oh Naomi, how much more closely I can relate to you right now than Ruth. I've always liked the book of Ruth...from Ruth's perspective. Looking at this story from a different point of view has been eye-opening. First of all, when life came tumbling down around her, Naomi did two things that are not acceptable in church circles. She changed her name from 'Pleasantness' to 'Bitterness', and she blamed God. (Naomi answered the people, "Don't call me Naomi [pleasant]. Call me Mara [bitter], because the Almighty has made my life very sad. When I left, I had all I wanted, but now, the LORD has brought me home with nothing...) BUT, God was about to move in her life in ways she had never dreamed! God had already set in motion His plan of redemption. The...
