I think that it is one of the hardest things because: 1) I love my kids so much 2) I want the best for their lives 3) I don’t always know the best way to help them get there which can feel overwhelming at times. I really enjoy listening to Sally Clarkson’s podcasts. I feel…

This time in history reminds me of when the disciples were in the storm and they wondered why Jesus was sleeping…and then he challenged them, “Why are you so afraid?

When I (Ang) was little and I had nothing to wear I would sometimes go down the hall in the opposite direction of my room. I would enter into the sacred space of my parents room :) I would go to my Mom’s closet, open the bi-fold door and peruse the options in front of…

SBS has been very challenging, but also very possible to complete, and I have learned so much. Understanding the background of each book and the historical setting has given a new level of clarity to them. Did you know that the nation of Syria and Assyria are not the same thing? I didn’t! A while…

Sometimes our newsletters can get long, and yes, I (Angela) can ramble! This time I decided that I would keep it short and simple- take a few minutes to look at 5 pictures that highlight some of our work, and if you have a minute to spare, be encouraged by reading a short quote from…

One of Kai’s greatest strengths is his ability to memorize. It is amazing how he can repeat something just a few times and he has got it down! From spelling, to Bible verses, to math facts, this is one smart boy!

Hockey pads, hockey stats, hockey cards, street hockey, books about hockey…the list goes on. Jay has fallen in love with playing hockey and collecting hockey cards! It is fun to watch him learn to love this Canadian sport as we spend this year home in Canada.
