Love as a Way of Life

Fun Fact: I met Dr. Gary Chapman at ICRS! It’s amazing how much confidence I have when I’m wearing a badge that says MEDIA. I saw Dr. Gary Chapman walking down the hall and went up to him, stuck out my hand, and introduced myself. I told him I was giving away his book on…

You must remember this…or maybe not

 I found a link that may help when we’re writing to be more aware of the audience we’re targeting.

Writing from the Road

That’s write. I’m somewhere East of Birmingham, AL riding in the car accessing the internet. Isn’t technology awesome. Actually, so is my hubby. He bought this AT & T device that you plug into your USB drive and install, and whallah, internet on the go. Of course the device cost $100 and there’s a monthly…

Freedom

Earlier this month we celebrated the birth of our nation. The fourth of July took on an extra special meaning this year as we’ve studied early American history for homeschool and spent a week in Washington DC. Often the subject of freedom weaved its way into our reading and conversations.  And into our hearts. My father and grandfather…
