The Heart of the Home
The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word
and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart
(Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23),
by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

DS is totally awesome! He has been working quite hard these past few months. See he has been working on memorizing the Shorter Catechism as well as the Ten Commandments, Lord's Prayer, etc. Our church recently had a Bible Olympics for the children. He did so well and it was so good for him in so many ways.
We feel strongly that he learn these basic tenents of our faith and to begin learning the Shorter Catechism so that he will lay that foundation for not only what he believes but why he believes what he believes. So since DH left we have started our mornings with Bible reading and then working on memorization.
DS did so well at the Olympics and we are so proud of what he accomplished. Enjoy the pictures of him and sorry for the gloating here. He won trophies for reciting the first 20 questions of the Shorter Catechism, the Lord's Prayer, the 12 Apostles, the Ten Commandments, and Psalm 23. How cool is that for an 8 year old?

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Way to go!
Y'know, scripture memorization is so important at a young age. I've memorized things in my older years, but the ones that I can easily and quickly remember were the ones I learned as a child. *sigh* Oh how I wish I had learned more!

GODSPEED by Edmund Blair Leighton (1900)
In medieval times, a knight wore the colors of his lady when competing in tournaments or going to battle. The knight would replace his coat of arms with the lady's colors. By offering a scarf or other small piece of clothing, it was one visible way a lady showed her devotion to her knight and also encouraged him. This went along with one of the knightly vows of protecting a lady and her interests, even unto death. This painting represents this medieval tradition.
I choose this as a representation of my blog for all the military wives who send their knight-husbands to work each day, send them to the field for training, or see their husbands deploy .
My blog will have some of my personal thoughts on our own journey of homeschooling or other insights or encouragements I have the leading to share.
My prayers are with each and every one of you who visit my blog.
