Descriptions of satan in the Bible might sound somewhat intimidating. That is, until you notice one, little word: like. 1 Peter 5:8 warns, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Did you catch it? The devil is like a roaring lion, […]
Raining Cats, Dogs . . . and Squirrels?
One of the greatest benefits of home schooling is the expanded classroom. Truly, all the world’s a stage for learning. So, two weeks ago, before the coldfront settled into town, Ivy, Ellie and myself were taking advantage of a perfect day by studying math atop Grandma Sauder’s quilt spread out on the driveway.
