My Adventures at Home: December 2014
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Saturday, December 13, 2014. For the years of my childhood in the Episcopal church, Advent was a foregone conclusion. We observed it every year, with all the proverbial bells and smells. As a young married couple, my husband and I attended a non-liturgical church that didn't use the word Advent, but still enjoyed several activities to build anticipation for the coming of Christ. We supplemented their offerings with our own Christ-centered traditions. Do you celebrate Advent? I know...

My Adventures at Home: Lent
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2015/02/lent.html
My Adventures at Home. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Easter seems early this year. 😄. This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent, which is a forty-day season many Christians use to prepare/renew their hearts for Christ. Traditionally people remove something from their lives (fast) and/or add something as a daily reminder to sharpen their focus on the True meaning of life (the Gospel of relationship and renewal). 😣 Sometimes this world is very comfortable and enticing! Why I do what I do.

My Adventures at Home: July 2014
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Sunday, July 13, 2014. The kids and I were talking about how women are depicted in the media today. In video games, comic strips and other 'drawn' images, a woman's breasts and bottom are enhanced, while every other part is minimized. Flesh-and-blood girls are made to emulate the drawings. We talked specifically about feet and bellies. Then we saw this video and it went so well with this lesson. :). I love it when that happens. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). These ...

My Adventures at Home: January 2013
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Thursday, January 31, 2013. I stopped blogging last May because there were some people who didn't like it when I expressed my opinions. I get that people don't like conflict. I sure don't. Conflict can make me positively sick! But somehow disagreement, or merely holding to an opinion, has morphed into conflict. This is a disservice to everyone. How might we ever learn and grow if we eliminate free discourse from our lives? Actually, I think tolerance requires. I am learning and exp...

My Adventures at Home: March 2012
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Saturday, March 31, 2012. If you think THAT’S funny…. My daughter walked up to me with a salami slice in front of each eye—after eating a hole out of each middle. I do believe that the kids do this each and every time that eat salami, so I looked at her and smiled without comment. She declared, “If you think THAT”S funny, you should have seen me with a salami nose! 8221; She turned and ran off to continue making her sandwich. Did I act like I thought it was funny?

My Adventures at Home: May 2012
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. How awesome to have great friends with whom we can lose all sense of dignity. Links to this post. Monday, May 21, 2012. Perhaps knowing this will be one of our last recitals has made this one take on an even brighter glow. Links to this post. Sunday, May 20, 2012. We have a plan! None of that stops me from getting excited when there is something relatively concrete for which we can prepare: a plan. And if we move, how will we afford the $600/month commute?

My Adventures at Home: September 2014
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. Continuing on the theme from yesterday regarding the commitments we make that define our lifestyles, I’d like to include being a church on that list. So, we have—in no particular order—homeschooling, marriage, parenting and being the church. Today we are going to do such-and-such. I think we need to remember that we. Links to this post. Monday, September 15, 2014. Homeschooling as I see it. The other thing that shows that the meaning of our words are so...

My Adventures at Home: April 2012
http://myadventuresathome.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
My Adventures at Home. Monday, April 30, 2012. One of those days. I am feeling discouraged today. This week, really. I keep pushing on, but each day feels less like pushing and more like dragging. Links to this post. Sunday, April 29, 2012. Colossians book—it all comes down to love. Well, my daughter jumped the gun a bit and wrote her report at the same time that she wrote the book. What is it like to live for Jesus? Her answer: It is hard. I question Christians even though I’m a Christian. 8220;First, I...
