Passing down through generations, Just as the wall upon which it hangs Just as the ceiling supported by the wall Just as the floor staring compulsively at the ceiling Just as the ceiling does the floor As do I This mirror Who over its tenure has Obligingly gazed back at My predecessors as they loomed before it This mirror Ma...

Education > Homeschooling Motivating your homeschooled child: 7 of 12
Driving home from church, and in the backseat you hear, "I wish I could go to public school like everybody else!" You respond from the front, "Where in the world did that come from?" even though you know that everybody in kid's church was talking about their "state of the art" playground all day. "It's just not fair, I hate ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Children's Literature Are fantasy books good for children?: 19 of 32
The greatest challenge that every person will encounter in life is the development of a correct perception of life itself.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Thoughtful Christian gifts for teens: 5 of 8

Such urgency in the alarm clock cry I rose in desparate haste Showered, dressed, set course to fly Into the hours I was yet to face My desk, phone ringing, coffee gulped Reports, needs met till lunch A salad athestically sculpted Then back for the afternoon crunch The gym at five, the sauna too full At home, pasta from a can...

You just read in the paper that a movie will be filmed in your city, and the producers have sent out a call for extras to appear in it, and you are going to be downtown anyway, so why not? Or, maybe you just always wanted to be one of those nameless, silent people in the background of a commercial, or tv show. Welcome to the... More..
Education > Learning Styles & Skills Teaching tips: How to gain kids' attention: 10 of 15
Grabbing hold of the attention of a room full of kids is no easy accomplishment. I wish I could give you a simple formula, a list of dos and don'ts that would work in every situation, but this wouldn't really help you.
