Practicing What I Preach
Today I’m having a chance to practice what I preach. After getting lost in cyberspace this morning before doing my devotion, I decided to take my computer in the living room and journal about the Bible study I’ve been going through. It really helps me to grasp the concepts when I blog about what I’ve…
Friday the 13th
My husband just informed me that it was Friday the 13th. Now I’m not supersticious, and I know that “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world,”but I can’t help but think someone out there was trying to wreck havoc in our lives today. Nothing major just…My computer caught…

When Togetherness Loses its Allure
Many of us here at Writer…Interrupted are homeschooling our children. Homeschooling is a wonderful way to connect on a daily (more like hourly) basis with each other, but it’s easy to lose something special in the process.

Teaching Your Kids to Soar
This book totally changed the way I viewed each of my children. In fact, I think it’s time I read through it again.

He was demanding, confrontational with other children, and often had trouble in social situations.…
