I’ve written about organizing homeschool supplies before, but I have found that it’s never a finished job. As our family gets older, our needs change. I still stick to the principles that I outlined, but I’ve made some different applications. No Homeschool Room? We don’t have a specific room for homeschooling. It’s not that I wouldn’t like …
by Robert M. McCheyne When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o’er life’s finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then—how much I owe. When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see …
