how to discover your reason for home schooling and learning to be grateful for the duties and children God gave to you, plus some practical tips for the home schoolers

Faith

A Life of Adoration

Going for Broke

meditating on the stories of the Woman with the Alabaster Jar and the Rich Young Man. How Jesus led me to greater detachment.

Jesus Thirsts for You

Tasting the Bitter Sweetness of Suffering

Have something else in mind? Let’s chat and we’ll see what we can come up with. In exchange for writing and presenting a 45-60 minute talk, I ask that you cover my travel/lodging expenses as well as a reasonable stipend for my work.
