I’ve mentioned before that one of my favorite authors about the subject of education is Ellen White; her words in the small book aptly entitled Education (published in 1903) merge with Charlotte Mason’s words in my mind, broadening my understanding of the heart of God, the responsibility of parents and teachers, and the capacity of […]
Morning Meditations: Pretty Sure Jesus Gets The Mama-Heart
I am reading Matthew 14 today to the dim light of morning. There is a sliver of a moon rising with Venus guiding the way, and I am right here with Jesus in the fourth watch of the night. John has died, Jesus is heartbroken, and the crowds won’t leave him alone. Kind of like […]
