The decision to cover my head was a progressive one for me. In a way, it was also a natural progression. I’ve always had tendencies leaning toward modest dress. Even as a typical American teenager I never was keen on anything too showy. My family would describe me as weird as much for my attire as my unusual interests. In my adult life, I’ve only worn shorts a handful of times. I own one skirt that’s not ankle length. Modesty is just my style. My initial interest in head coverings came ... continue reading...
Web Design For Kids (and curious grown ups!)
Waaaay back in 1996, when I was still a teenager, I taught myself how to write html code and design web pages. At one point, I had built a site with roughly 50 pages of information on my favorite Japanimation characters. It was a huge deal for me.

So I guess this means we’ll be starting the new school year by continuing on with what we’re using. Not as exciting as cracking open a fresh new book, but hey, learning isn’t about new books, is ... continue reading...
Grapevine Studies
I told you a while back about a Bible study we were doing with the kids. We started using the Grapevine Studies New Testament Overview during our regular evening Bible time. Normally, we go over catechism, Dad gives a lesson, we pray and sing songs. I like doing it this way but the two olders are getting to the point that they need a little more study time. Now we are using our Grapevine study for about 4 - 6 days a week and doing our regular Bible time activities 1 – 3 times. So a little ... continue reading...
