What Other Families Do For Fun
Yesterday we were invited for a dinner appointment and then asked to attend a church service at a local fellowship here in town. The special Saturday night service featured the Wissmann Family from Nebraska. Having never seen nor heard them, our family was delighted to sit and listen to close to two hours of gospel music — bluegrass style — played by many of the members of this homeschooled family of 13 children. (Wow! right?) Each family member with them was involved at some point in the evening, all the way down to the youngest daughter who belted out “God Bless America.” It was neat to see another family using their talents to glorify God, have fun and bless others at the same time. The world needs more good examples, right? We … Read entire article »

Week 50: Serving Christ By Serving Others
The first thing that a lot of people think of when someone mentions the word “politician” is words like cheater, liar, and total crook.

Week 48: Helping Hands
Most of the adults who will read this have a normal job. By normal I mean one in which you show up, get your paycheck once a month, and go home. However, for the man I met with today, Greg Beeley, that routine is a bit different. He goes to work yes, but going to work doesn’t include getting a paycheck.

Week 47: Planning For The Future
I have heard that teens, especially ones my age, live only for today. They don’t save, they don’t plan, and their only worry is whether or not they’ll eat lunch. Now I admit, I haven’t looked into getting a college scholarship for myself yet, and I’m not exactly sure where I’ll be six years from tomorrow, but I did learn a lot today about setting long-term goals, and making them happen, because I spent a … Read entire article »
