"Knowledge is more than an accumulation of information. It involves the ability to view that information with the right perspective and to use it for its proper end... It is the fear of the Lord that gives us the right perspective and prompts us to use it for the right end...Our main goal should be to glorify God. That is the ultimate goal to which all knowledge should be directed. Regardless of how helpful an item or body of knowledge may be to society, if it does not have as its final purpose the glory of God, it remains defective."
- Jerry Bridges The Joy of Fearing God
Thanks, guys! :) I *am* excited to post more. The blog really helps keep me focused and motivated to follow CM closely. It's all too easy to let lessons become the next checkmark instead of the rich, God-glorifying food I'd like them to be. And I do hope something here can be a blessing to others! :)
... that this is just a blog. It's not real life. Because I want the posts and photos I share to encourage and inspire our readers, I don't often write about the negative, discouraging times. Believe me, though, they are there. Every day. By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are sinful people striving to live lives of obedience that glorify Him and to love one another. Anything good is all of His grace and all of His work in us. Let God Almighty have the glory.

To see a fine lady upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes." - Traditional

I am so glad you are still here! I just started Year 1 with Amblesideonline two weeks ago. A lot of what I have read here has been very useful.
I am thrilled that you are coming back! Your insight into CM's ideas is phenomenal. I can't wait to read more.
Your children are beautiful! We started on Sept. 1, and we're really enjoying it.
Your children have grown SO much and they are just BEAUTIFUL!
Yeah for the new school year!
