I get quite a few magazines, most on parent-directed education issues, but others, too, like Birds and Blooms (we have identified almost 70 species of birds since moving here 3 years ago!), World magazine, Creation, Keepers at Home (one of my absolute favorites!) and several others. They usually end up on the coffee table where I can read them at my leisure. However, when TOS magazine comes I usually plop myself down, read all the article titles (all the time thinking that I will read this later), peruse through the ads (believe it or not I love the ads~I've gotten many good ideas and materials because of them)  and glance over the article of most interest to me. To be honest, I usually stay ploped down, I almost always read more than the feature article, right on the spot, and I do it all without remorse.

The summer edition has a great article on Charlotte Mason homeschooling. The piece on intelligent design added to my expanding knowledge of the debate and supplemented information gained by viewing the Ben Stein movie release, Expelled.

As usual, in spite of my best intentions, I sat long, read thoroughly and enjoyed completely. And all without regret.
