I Need An Anatomy Course
A few nights ago, as Serenity and Justus were laying in bed, I heard Serenity talking to Justus about heaven. After a little while, Justus started crying. I decided to check up on the little fellow to see what was making him sad. He was broken over the thought of leaving our house and never seeing it again when he went to heaven. I spent some time talking with him about how God is building us another house and will take us to it someday. He was listening intently and then asked, "Does everyone go to heaven?" After I answered that he wanted to know, "How do you become a Christian?"…

CM Carnival #1 – Nature Study in the Upper Levels
Nature Study in the Upper Levels I have felt somewhat inadequate for the job of teaching my two older boys, age 16 and 15, Nature Study. They love the outdoors but just to walk outside with their sketch books to draw something of my choosing has not been that exciting to them. Since reading about Charlotte Mason many years ago, I was inspired to give my kids a love of nature. There is so much to learn about and see and yet I knew nothing. I bought field guides to have on hand and when a new bird would show up in our yard, I would make a point to express my…
