How does one Homeschool?

Take the time to read this:

In Bed With Dying Patient by interleukin Sometimes, a family member's behavior is so clouded by the grief and shock of a loss that we must be courageous enough to practice outside the box.

Out of Line and Charged with Murder

Was it a Dream?

It was a warm summer's night at the Desert Aire Motel. It was anything but quiet, for this three year old night owl. I was so mad.

Tackled by a Prayer Warrior

...and at Starbucks of all places! The conversations started like many of the ones I generated when evanglizing. How could this stranger tell me so many specific details about my spiritual life?

Who is in control here, anyway?
