Journaling Bible

Aug 31st, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Study

I received my ESV Journaling Bible and I really do like it. The paper is a nice creamy color and with Micron pens (in many colors) you can’t really tell from the back side where you’ve written except in outside margin, but even then it’s not bad. I would recommend a Micron pen. I bought [...]



History studies

Aug 27th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: teach

We are using Truthquest Ancient Egypt/Greece book this fall and plan to use the Ancient Rome book for the Spring semester. I have studied some of the Principle Approach and some of it has come into play in my Philosopy of Education. It is a hard thing to describe and seems hard to implement…but I’m [...]



Daily Devotional time

I thought I’d share what me and my kids do for our time of devotion in the morning. This is what we started doing early this year…although, we weren’t very faithful through the summer. I ask my older kids (11 & 13) to read at least one chapter in the bible every day. They can [...]

So, of course, I plan to start Monday with why we should study the Bible. I have posted lots here about making the Bible our handbook for life and I will [...]



One week and counting…

Aug 13th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Misc

until we officially start our new year home schooling. I still have a few things I am trying to cram and prepare for, but for the most part I am more organized than ever. Soon I hope to get some blogging done! I am excited to begin our bible studies this year with Student of [...]



e-Sword

Aug 13th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Study

I have spent a couple of hours downloading commentaries and other extras for e-Sword. I had downloaded e-Sword a few months ago, but haven’t taken the time to figure out how to use it. But now, I must say, I think I might really enjoy this. After downloading lots of the extras, I can really [...]
