The Top 5 Things A Good Bible Lesson Should Include

by admin 91 Comments

There is a certain comfort (and definitely no shame!) in following a Bible lesson that is pre-made or boxed up and ready to go.  If you are like me, however, you may have a hard time finding lessons on the topics you want.  At the least, you may want to tweak them a bit.  While all of our kids need to be taught similar things such as “Jesus loves … [Read more...]

Oikos–It’s Not Just a Yogurt!

by admin 10 Comments

You may have heard the word “oikos” spoken in church lately.  (If not, keep reading.  This still applies to you!)  If you did, more than likely they weren’t talking about yogurt.  Technically, “oikos” is the greek word used in the new testament to describe extended family.  It typically could have included 15-35 family members--not just those who … [Read more...]

When Inconveniencing Someone is a Good Idea

by admin 2 Comments

It was a couple days before my dad’s 70th birthday.  This is a HUGE milestone for anyone, but especially for Dad.  You see, we almost lost Dad several times.  I was just a fifth grader when he had his first heart attack.  Not to mention that he nearly died as one of the very first people diagnosed with Chron's Disease.  Insert several other … [Read more...]

How We Started Our Homeschool Year

by admin Leave a Comment

I tend to be a little over the top.  I love my kids and I want them to excel as much as possible, to reach their full potential.  All parents do.  For me, that can be a slippery slope.  I get in my head what we  should be able to accomplish and when it doesn't get done, it's not pretty.  I shudder to think how many hours we have probably gone over … [Read more...]

The Miracle of Adoption

by admin 7 Comments

We have had our son for 7 years exactly.  The first time I held him in my arms was a culmination of over a year of paperwork and one and a half years of waiting after that.  Not to mention countless fundraisers and an endless ride on an emotional roller coaster. Nine months of hormones had nothing on me.  I know--I’ve done it both ways. But finally … [Read more...]

Take the “I Spy” Prayer Challenge

by admin 5 Comments

Every time my kids see a guitar, they think about their daddy.  Whenever they see a quilt, it reminds them of Mimi.  I’m not quite sure what makes them think of me...perhaps chocolate??? ;) Take the I Spy Prayer Challenge-- Let your kids pick something that reminds them of the ones they love.  Then, every time you see those things, take a minute … [Read more...]

Welcome to Minivan Ministries!

by admin 13 Comments

Welcome to MiniVan Ministries! Most parents have uttered this promise at one point in our lives…”I will never own a minivan!”  But many of us succumb to the sure awesomeness of all that room and not having to bend over when buckling kids in car seats.  When our kids become more important to us than our coolness quotient, style sometimes goes out … [Read more...]
