Teaching Children About Prayer

02/15/2013 by Heidi

Because prayer can be such a difficult process for adults, sometimes we have trouble explaining it to our children.  I mean...how do you explain such an abstract concept? I Can Talk With God is a book by Debby Anderson who did an excellent job of explaining what prayer is and how to pray.  (This is a Christianbook.com link as Amazon ...

Black and white close up of a little boy.

He met me at the door with "I am wetting, Mommy."  I looked at the soaked bedsheets from the night before and my shoulders slumped.  This fell on the hills of a horrible report from church the day before.  The teacher didn't call me to come get him just because she wanted to give me a full break without the kiddos.   (God ...

How to Organize Your Home Library

02/12/2013 by Heidi

Yesterday I explained the importance of building a home library.  Today I will show you how I organize ours! I organize just for the sake of organizing sometimes.  While this mad-obsession has cooled down due to a lack of time, the teacher in me still likes everything cataloged and systematic.

Review: Psalm 23 & Veggie Town Voyage

02/10/2013 by Heidi

Pin It I found the cover illustration of the new book Psalm 23 by Richard Jesse Watson to be intriguing.  Not the image that I would have guessed for a children's book covering the peaceful Psalm 23.  Reminded me of C.S. Lewis story cover. The text is simply the words in Psalm 23.  "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not ...
