Christian Values Legacy: June 2009
http://christianvaluesblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. Her aunt was talking to my three-year-old grand-daughter. She asked how Sunday School was. My grand-daughter answered dramatically, “Terribly boring.” I thought, “Bring out the oxygen. We’re losing her.”. The “magic” of the moment was suddenly broken, when a latecomer burst into the room, loudly inquiring, “What’s the craft? What’s the craft? Then you shall say to them….” Joshua 4:6-7a. What's the most impactful Sunday School class you remember? Millie McNabb, founder of Christian ...

Christian Values Legacy: Anniversary
http://christianvaluesblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/anniversary.html
Saturday, June 6, 2009. Yesterday was our thirty-third anniversary. We went out for steak dinner together. I went online looking for what gift was recommended to mark the year. They only listed gifts by every five years after the fifteenth anniversary. The twenty-fifth anniversary is marked by silver. Being practical, we got a three-in-one printer—it was silver in color, however. We left on our honeymoon, and my parents took the gifts to their house, which was about a mile from the river. The next da...

Christian Values Legacy: Half Lit
http://christianvaluesblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/god-bless_09.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. My friend used to say, “It’s better to burn the candle at both ends than to go out half lit.” As a person who tends to get up early and also stay up late (and not get drunk), I appreciated the saying. Whether it’s passing on our values to our children, interacting with our fellow Christians, or rubbing elbows with the community at large, that consistent “light shining” reveals God at work in our lives. Our living witness then brings glory to God. Millie McNabb, founder of Christian...

Christian Values Legacy: March 2008
http://christianvaluesblog.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 17, 2008. I saw this quote at a restaurant recently: "Without children having that McDonald's experience, we wouldn't have any legacy." How casually we create our traditions, not realizing that those experiences become our legacy. What will your legacy be? Are you taking steps to intentionally leave a legacy?

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Homeschool: Time well spent. Sometimes I meet mothers who are overwhelmed with the thought of homeschooling. They make comments like, “You’re so brave,” “You’re so organized,” or “You’re so patient.” Perhaps I have become some of those things, but none of them are requisites for homeschooling. What is required is your decision to do it. The question is, "Do you want to pass on your Christian values to your children? What thoughts do you have about homeschooling? Today is my birth...
