My place in God’s symphony
I love the violin. And the cello. Especially if I can hear them together. Nothing warms my heart like a well-trained musician playing a beautiful melody. All the strings tuned and in their places, singing out the tones that they were designed to make. Each string is made to do its own thing and do it well. If you were to tune the low string to the high note it would break, and the high … read on, my friend…
My new favorite creative tool
If you are like me you are always looking for things that will help you get things done easier and faster. You also don’t want a huge learning curve. One thing you may want to try for your homeschool is a product (or three) from Inspiration. They have three products that I am in love with.

25 creative notebooking ideas
Notebooking is one of the best ways to demonstrate your individuality in your lessons. But sticking some worksheets in a binder is not true notebooking. You must generate the material yourself and it is a reflection of you, not simply a regurgitation of someone else’s thoughts. In case you find yourself in a rut, here is a list of creative expression. You can also download the 25 creative notebooking ideas here. paper folding portraits write … read on, my friend…
The reluctant journaler
I don’t journal. There it is. I said it. A book artist who doesn’t journal? How can a bookmaker not spend hours filling beautiful books with deep thoughts flowing from her pen? I suppose it’s like a musician who doesn’t listen to her own music or a painter who owns none of her own work. One reason I don’t is because I think I don’t have time. I would love to make artist journals but they … read on, my friend…
Where our allegiance lies
This blog is not known to be particularly involved in current events and other potentially controversial things. However I heard a bishop say something last week that convicted me. On the radio show Janet Parshall’s America last week Bishop E.W. Jackson was on talking about his ministry and taking calls from listeners. One caller offered the idea that Jesus got down with the people and was basically okay with them being in sin. This got … read on, my friend…

The case for excellence part 2
Excellence is not a light switch. It’s not something that you wake up one day and you suddenly are, like a birthday. It’s more like getting grey hair; it happens one strand at a time. The process of excellence is important. Like a baby chick must struggle to shed its shell, the struggle to learn is necessary and rewarding. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect … read on, my friend…
