Sanitized Childhood
The Aquila Report posted an excellent article yesterday from Psychology Today claiming that we are raising a nation of wimps. There were so many good points in this piece (which I highly recommend you read) that I may write several articles in reflection. One of the major themes is over-parenting. This is the age of [...]

The wish I hear most parents say they want for their children is happiness. It makes me sad really, because so often they don’t know what they are talking about.

This is the question that God asks Adam after he partook of the forbidden fruit. We are going through Genesis in my Bible study now, and we have come to the Fall. Today these words from God really shocked me. They are so gracious! I can’t imagine the fear overtaking Adam and Eve as they [...]

He teaches fourth grade in the public school. And he’s good at it. He should probably just be a hero for that. But since he commutes 45 minutes across the border into Maryland, he thinks it’s important to have his wife at home base for the children. So he works another job as well. It’s [...]
