a little perspective

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."
Psalm 119:105

Mere lads their princes

posted Sunday, November 20, 2005 :: 5:00 AM

In Hillsdale, Michigan, an 18-year-old teenager has just been elected mayor of the city. The first thing I thought of was, “And I will make mere lads their princes, and capricious children will rule over them,” (Isaiah 3:4-5) which is a curse God pronounced over Jerusalem for departing from His ways. Hillsdale is home to Hillsdale College, one of the finest private colleges in the nation.

"For new and veteran homeschool families alike, this extensive new release from the editors of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine serves as a homeschool convention in a book. It details today's most viable education models, helping parents formulate an educational game plan and choose teaching methodologies. There are more than twenty contributors." Including Christine Miller, who wrote a chapter on Classical Education.

christine's reading

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
