Classical Education...

“Because the classical educator believes in a real world that gives up ordered knowledge of itself, he teaches the student how to get that knowledge. The seven liberal arts were quite deliberately developed for precisely that reason. Believing that we can know truth, and believing that truth sets us free, classical educators spent thousands of years refining the tools of truth-seeking that were used from the beginning of time, but were first codified by Aristotle."

- Andrew Kern, in "What is the Difference Between Classical and Conventional Education”

Coping Through Suffering and Sorrow as a Christian


Sadly, I was unable to say goodbye to my step-mother in person before she passed away. 

While I had recently spoken to her on the phone, in preparation for my trip to be with her in California, it wasn't enough.  I desperately wanted to make it to her in person, hold her, hug her, and remind her how much I love her before her body gave out to the illness.  

It was not to be.  She did not make it through the night last night.  May God bless her soul and hold her tightly until we join her in Heaven. 

For all of us dealing with some form of loss, KNOW that you have JESUS.
