Your example speaks so much louder than your words. Have you ever asked your kid to do something, or not do something, like check out on their phone, and then you go and do the same thing?

#168 By Faith
Did you feel inspired to homeschool? Did it seem like a crazy idea? When I felt inspired to homeschool, I had five small children, had been hospitalized for health issues, and was still battling severe depression. It seemed like a really terrible thing to add into my life. And yet, the Lord inspires people to bring about His purpose. I can now look back and see that if I hadn't followed that inspiration, that I wouldn't have the family that I have now. I wouldn't have the connection that I have ...

#166 Brush Your Teeth
Did you know that in the early 1900s only 7% of Americans were brushing their teeth? In fact, in the 1600s the 5th reason for death was tooth decay.

As we grow and progress as humans, we continue to find ways to improve our lives and our health. I would love to see people start little habits, like brushing their teeth, to their lives to improve their emotional and mental health...

#164 Be the Sun
The sun and the wind had a competition to see who could get a child to take off their jacket. The wind blew hard, but despite its best efforts, the child only held onto the jacket tighter. The sun then took a turn and simply warmed up the child, and the child naturally took off their jacket. When you want your child to do something, do you get angry and yell like the wind, or are you patient and gentle like the sun? If you want your child to listen to you, then you will need to become like the s...

#161 Your Beliefs and Values
Did you know that the average student who attends public school will spend over 100,000 hours in school? That is over 100,000 hours of being influenced with strangers beliefs and values.

This is one of the reasons why you are more than qualified to teach your own children. You get to be an influence for good to them in a chaoti...

#159 Modern Day Babylon
Babylon and Zion cannot coexist. Has public school become a modern day Babylon? Babylon is used as a symbol of the wickedness and evils of the world.
