The Watery Grave

We had such a wonderful weekend! The Lord has really been moving in our church, and we've had 2 of our own get saved in the last few weeks, my son, Seth and my cousin, Ethan. I'm so thankful to see the Lord still moving in the lives of young people, and praise Him that He still saves sinners! Both Ethan and Seth wanted to be baptized in a river. It truly was a glorious day!

The first thing Seth did when we got to the river was....catch a frog, of course! Love my scientist!

9 iPhone Apps for Surviving the Breakdown of Society

Of course things could change at any moment at any point in history. Pompei wasn't expecting the volcano. The South Pacific wasn't expecting the tsunami. Hiroshima wasn't expecting the bomb. Pearl Harbor wasn't expecting the air raid. But now, with the political and social unrest everywhere, a Marxist in office, and Biblical prophecy quickly unfolding, it only makes sense to prepare our families

9 iPhone Apps for Surviving the Breakdown of Society

This is assuming, of course, that we have electricity, but these apps do not run off internet connectivity, so they might be useful in the event of something that brings down the phone towers.

Why do I homeschool?

I love the company and fellowship it allows
I've learned more since I graduated than I ever learned in school. If I can just pass on a love of learning and a good work ethic, they'll be fit for whatever the Lord has in store for them
At 7 hours per day (conservative estimate), for 180 days per year, that's 1,260 hours per year, times 13 years, equals 16,380 hours of their childhood that would be spent under government supervision. The Bible says, "Children obey your parents [NOT UNCLE SAM] in the Lord." God gave them to me, not the U.S. government. How can I expect them to embrace my ideals and my faith, when I let someone else hold a position of respect and authority over them for 16,380 hours of their childhood?
"Mama, who is Mar-tin Lu-ther King, J R?"
I can never forget how my own faith was shaken by teachers whom I greatly respected
Age segregation is something foreign. Playmates come in all ages and sizes, boys or girls, and some of my children's best friends are adults.
It is so much fun!
My children pity the fools and scoffers who believe evolution
We study real history, not the revised politically correct version
FIELD TRIPS!
My kids don't even know what a "nerd" is, and believe me, they would be labeled "nerds" in public school. Nor does either of them know a curse word, and they think a dirty joke has something to do with passing gas.
I don't have to wonder if some pervert is having his/her way with my babies while I'm not there to protect them
I can control my children's environment, keeping their hearts and minds pure for the work of the Lord
NOTE TO OTHER HOMESCHOOL PARENTS: All of the above reasons are completely NULL and VOID if you give your child a laptop or computer and hours of private, unsupervised access to the internet. He or she would be better off in public school.
