The Souper Bowl of Caring

Posted by Hallee on Jan 30, 2012 in Causes, Christian Faith, missions

Any and all money we collect will be given directly to that ministry. We do not send money through the Souper Bowl of Caring or to any national agency — we take it and donate it directly to Angel Food Ministries without any middle men.

Posted by Gregg on Jan 29, 2012 in apologetics, Christian Faith, Creation, homeschooling

Why is natural selection taught as ‘evolution’ as if it explains the origin of the diversity of life?

Ma-Maw Ryta Gail’s Blanket

Posted by Hallee on Jan 26, 2012 in Life, Parenting

For years, that box sat in storage. One day last year, I came across the box and decided that, if I had crocheted a box of blankets, I would want my son’s family to use them rather than keep them in perpetual storage.

So, I pulled one out, washed it, and laid it across the back of my couch.

You Can’t Do Everything

Posted by Hallee on Jan 24, 2012 in Blog Stuff, Housekeeping, Life

I’d been tossing around the idea of quitting blogging for about three months now. I really started thinking about it as soon as it dawned on me just how much less free time I have during the day when I no longer conducted my marriage via long distance means. Since I feel very strongly that the Holy Spirit is who led me to starting the blog, I started praying about it.

Menu Monday 23 JAN 2012

Posted by Hallee on Jan 23, 2012 in Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of January 23rd. As far as desserts go, I made a gluten-free chocolate cake this past week and have one from the same site for a vanilla bean cake. I’m going to give that a go since the family love the chocolate one so much. Recipes will be forthcoming!

Creation: Question Evolution Campaign — 3 of 15

Posted by Gregg on Jan 22, 2012 in apologetics, Christian Faith, Creation, homeschooling

How could mutations—accidental copying mistakes (DNA ‘letters’ exchanged, deleted or added, genes duplicated, chromosome inversions, etc.)—create the huge volumes of information in the DNA of living things? How could such errors create 3 billion letters of DNA information to change a microbe into a microbiologist?

Seeds of Faith: Lies Women Believe About Children

Posted by Hallee on Jan 21, 2012 in Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, Lies and Truth, Parenting, Raising boys, Raising girls

I enjoyed chapter seven of Nancy Leigh DeMoss’ Lies Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets them Free. Gregg and I are raising our children to be conformed to the Word rather than to the world, and we get a lot of confused reactions to that.
