Merey’s Review All About Homophones

Do you remember reading about Amelia Bedelia when you were a youngster? She was hilarious. A generation later, my daughter, Jenny Rose, fell in love with the Amelia Bedelia books by Peggy Parish and Lynn Sweat. Amelia always got everything confused. When she was told to draw (close) the drapes, she got out a pencil and drew the drapes. If the list said to bring the mail in, she grabbed a male and brought him into the house. Asked to water the flowers, she poured water into the bag of flour. She got herself into one scrape after another!

Spears Art Studio K-8 & High School Art Survey Review

 What is it like to teach art from a Christian worldview perspective? Find out from Diane Spears, an artist, teacher, and theologian. With degrees in art, counseling, English, theology, and Christian education, she is more than qualified to write this curriculum! But, we, homeschooling moms, are more interested in having an art curriculum that is twaddle-free and WORKS with our children! From her years in a classroom teaching art, her assignments are easy to use for Mom and fun to do for the children.

Tomorrow is the Big Day in America

It is Monday morning and the sun is shining bright in Florida. Many of us have already voted because the polls have been open for early voting for weeks. I live close enough to a polling place to see how many people have been waiting in line each day to vote. There have been many! When Meredith and I went in last week to vote there were two people voting for the first time.

This is such an important election. Let’s all get out there and vote for freedom. Let’s vote for life. Let’s vote for a better America.

Teaching High School Government, Elections and Current Events this Year!

I just got back from teaching my homeschool coop government class.  Laura (the other half of Powerline Productions!) teaches the class with me.  There are nineteen homeschooled kids in the class.  Most are 10-12th grade, but there are 2 sixth graders and some middle schoolers.  There are a great group of kids!

Favorite Worship CDs

My favorite music is worship music.  Listening to worship CDs is a delight.  First, I sing along and, then, the next thing I know–my mind is on Jesus and I begin to think of all the wonderful things He has done for me!  Soon I’m thanking Him.  Before very long, my heart is captivated by Jesus Himself and who He is captures my mind completely! 

Our God is awesome!  How can we not sing songs to Him day and night when He has been so good to us?
