THINKING: Hospitality

We often ‘practice hospitality’ according to Romans 12.
But what about Luke 10 - and accepting the hospitality of others? I think I’ll allow myself the privilege of allowing others to bless-by-giving for a while.
Besides, in people’s own homes, one listens and learns more about their hopes and fears - and I can bless them in […]

Life’s Scrappy

February is nearly done and I’m not nearly as organised as the lurking (dying) perfectionist within me would like.
The children are working the grid (The Week’s Grid - this is not a timetable) and they’ve achieved over 75% of it for the last two weeks - so no problems there. They’re settling in after the […]

Deciding which blogs or sites

Have ditched a few other blogs, wikis etc. My children have left homeschoolblogger and moved to www.kiwikids.tumblr.com - a much simpler setup they can use.
I also have www.lapbook.tumblr.com and the groups associated like www.appleslapbook.tumblr.com.
I dabbled with www.pbwiki.com but would rather use tumblr.
My husband has www.2restore.wordpress.com. I quite like working in wordpress - easy […]
