William Blake and the Unceasing Practice

Posted on July 22, 2017 by Mary

As I read a William Blake biography this week, I was struck by a tiny quote of Blake's. Because of the wider truth of it, I have spent some time pondering. Thought I'd share. "Without Unceasing Practice nothing can be done. Practice is Art. If you leave off you are Lost."   -William Blake I … Continue reading William Blake and the Unceasing Practice

The Living Education Retreat

Posted on July 14, 2017 by Mary

Last week I had the privilege of flying hundreds of miles away to Iowa to attend the Living Education Retreat. (Yes, my husband is amazing for staying home with crazy people.)

Some books change you, and you can never go back to who you were. L'Abri was one of those books for me.

For the Children’s Sake

Posted on December 16, 2016 by Mary

Sometimes I want to demystify the Charlotte Mason method for people who are curious! But there is so much here. How can I summarize this way of life into a short explanation?! I can't. It wouldn't do it justice.  But I kind of like things like that. It reminds me of our faith. How do … Continue reading For the Children’s Sake

“If mothers could do for themselves…”

Posted on September 10, 2016 by Mary

  Today was one of those days. I knew it before breakfast was over. As I stood at the sink washing dishes, and praying that the Lord would give me what I needed to teach all of these kids, a phrase ran through my head: "if mothers could do for themselves what they do for … Continue reading “If mothers could do for themselves…”
