I love how God works. If we are only STILL and LISTEN, there are so many instances when God is orchestrating events in our life for HIS glory.
We hadn't been working too much on the Classical Conversations scripture memory work for this cycle. (Ephesians 6). It just seemed that we were overwhelmed with so many other things to memorize.

I never grew up with an appreciation for Dr. King. I wasn't taught about him in school, and really never even knew much about him until I moved to Atlanta in 1996. Isn't that a shame?
The area of southwest Florida where I was born and raised was not very diverse. Ok. It wasn't diverse AT ALL.
As I went to college I began to encounter more people different than me, but when it came down to it, I functioned and lived with people who looked just like me.
When I was 24 my life and perspective broadened, and I am so thankful it did.

My son started learning cursive just a couple of months ago. I used a $.99 ebook from Scholastic (Cursive Success) to teach him... my daughter learned with Handwriting Without Tears, but she had learned to write quite poorly in public school, so there was some remediation to do.
Cursive is a skill I feel is important for my children to know, and to know WELL. It is an ART that is being lost.
GMan picked up on cursive so well - and to my delight and surprise he wanted to write everything in cursive and he wanted to write all of the time! He's also a lefty, and I had heard these children have a more difficult time. Not this guy....
