Newsy Things and England 2018 * Sage Parnassus

Our trip to England is over and we are home. I learned and experienced so much in those 10 days. Now on to concerts, banquets, graduations, and a wedding. I have a few newsy things to let all of you know about first. And then soon I hope to share some very cool stories from our visit to England which was all abuzz about the upcoming royal wedding! But writing my stories has hit a snag. You see, my older phone did an automatic update as soon as I arrived home, erasing all my pictures and videos. Yes, we went through every possible route to recover them, including rooting the phone. Nothing. When I called Verizon, they said it happens. ?!?! Unfortunately, I thought I had an sd card in the phone (I didn't). The family pics that were on there were the biggest loss. Thankfully, dh, dd, and friends have shared the pics they took. But I was using the pics I took as a journal and springboard for my writing. Lesson learned - don't store your photos on your phone.

Deadline for Immersion Lessons Sign-Up!

The CMI East Conference at Roanoke College is coming up soon! The deadline to register is June 1st. I will be presenting a multi-age homeschool immersion day and would love to see you there, but seats are limited. I've been doing these for many years and I love mixing things up and sharing about how the methods work out in our homeschool. Plus, the relationships that I've formed over the years with some of the attendees - priceless. You can read more here and register here.

The Cloud of Witness Readers

After years of hearing beautiful testimonies and seeing lovely photos all about The Cloud of Witness, I have decided to start a new fb group and ig account (thecloudofwitnessreaders) for those who want to share. Sometimes I receive emails with questions about the authors quoted or the church calendar and other things. The fb page is nice but rather a dead end for those wanting discussion, so I think a group will serve us better. Marcia Mattern will be helping out, too, and we will herald each new week and highlight saints' and feast days mentioned in The Cloud. So ask your questions, share your pictures (#thecloudreaders, #thecloudofwitness), and tell others how you've been encouraged by The Cloud!

Teaching from peace,

Joy: Mainstay of a Living Education * Sage Parnassus

I think you could say that my face is exuding joy in this picture! This was perhaps my favorite talk yet as I spent the last year steeping myself in joy literature. So much thought and prayer went into this plenary - Joy: Mainstay of a Living Education.

Building Their Houses: Thoughts from the Dads * Sage Parnassus

Truly, except the Lord build the house, they labour but in vain that build it. When the Lord builds, they labour also-but, not in vain. Where is the promise for the edifying of the sober and righteous and godly Christian character, except as we shall labour, laying brick upon brick?

Trusting the Method -A Guest Post (audio) * Sage Parnassus

This Guest Post audio is by my friend, Mary Beuving. She has attended the past 4 Living Education Retreats and lives on the west coast, currently Oregon. (But she didn't receive the longest-pilgrimage-to-the-LER award - that went to someone from China!) Mary is frank, humble, and funny in this talk about trusting the methods of [...]

The Cloud of Witness for Children! * Sage Parnassus

Prayer is the key to open the day, and the bolt to shut in the night." - Jeremy Taylor (from the title page) At the 2018 Living Education retreat last weekend, I shared about a new publishing project that met a very enthusiastic response! The story was told during my talk on Parentcraft: Courage Edition [...]

St. Paul's Cathedral * Sage Parnassus

London is not to be loved at first sight. You must get to know her. The more of her history you know, of course, the more fascinating she becomes. -O.S.C., Parents' Review No. 44, 1933 This was my second short visit to London and it's true - the more you know about her, the more [...]
