No More Children’s Crusades
by Christopher J. Klicka
Historians disagree about exactly what happened in 1212. But they all agree it was a disaster for tens of thousands of young people.
As traditionally told, the “Children’s Crusade” started in that same year in two different countries. In France, a peasant boy named Stephen and in Germany a boy […]

As a father of eight children one would wonder, “When does homeschooling stop?” Well, I’ve come to observe that it doesn’t! Don’t be afraid that this might be the case. Proverbs 22:6 speaks about teaching while they are young so when they are old, they will keep their faith and values. […]

Living in a busy household (who isn’t?) and trying to do all the things required leaves me sometimes unable to “hear my wife”. I don’t mean the audible type of hearing, but the nonverbal hearing. As an example, my wife has issues with debt. We pay our bills but sometimes charge essential […]

Today, we stopped to remember the terrorist attack or 9-11-2001. Even though we have not had another attack on the US homeland, Brittian has had two attacks on their subway and bus system. What we have learned in the 4 years since it happened, Islam radicals will continue to bring destruction to […]

The Rooky Webmaster’s home has been disassembled for about 3 months. The floors have been exposed to the subflooring. The walls have been stripped of any wood trim. A floor has been raised, a room drywalled, and the first floor painted. The woman of the house has led this charge. […]

Our church hosts the Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries conference at Green Lake Conference Center in Green Lake Wisconsin. I am enjoying my week away from work but not my computer. A webmaster is never off the hook when it comes to his/her websites. I am managing four sites and must update and […]

Today, as I work on my house with my family, I am thankful that courageous men and women took the time to fight for freedom from England. I am thankful that the delegates sought out the best form of government and wrote the Constitution.
Today, let’s take time to thank God for our freedoms in […]

I can tell that the end of the school has commenced. I know this because the traffic at Homeschool Book Swap has picked up. If you have homeschool education material to sell, list them free at http://homeschoolbookswap.com. While you are there, take a look around and see if you can help some […]

I have drank coffee most of my adult life (about 40 years of drinking coffee). I have read and heard about the values and negative impact of drinking coffee. What to do? Stop? Continue? Who knows?
Well, my body gave me a little push recently to stop. I was given a […]

I have been really busy lately. Working my normal job and then catching up on 20 years of neglect on the house. We have painted, laid new flooring, roofing, etc. All of the family has helped. It has been a family affair of the extreme make over variety. The house, […]

I have been so busy lately, I had to learn about flexibility with my homeschool family. With eight children, there is always… always someone needing a ride to practice or to church for youth night. Or you might hear “watch your brother and sister while I do some quick errands”. The […]

I was short on thoughts of my own when I happened to see this post by SpunkyHomeschool’s Spunky. I enjoyed reading this and I think you will too.
When my son was little we were attempting to teach him the value of money. His grandmother had given him a $5 and we were trying to […]

Yesterday, Pat my wife and homeschool mom, asked me “when were you involved in homeschooling our children?” This at first came as a surprize! What do you mean, “when was I involved?” I was hurt, frustrated, and disappointed that she felt this way. Then as all sensitive men should, I tried […]

In December 2004, Mr. Harry Browne, author and successful investment advisor, delivered the above speech during Evenings at Fee (Foundation for Economic Education). Mr Browne starts off by stating “just go into an ordinary supermarket and look at all of those meats and vegetables, fruits and milk, candies and snacks, and everything else. […]

On Thursday February 17th, I took my wife to see Casting Crowns. This group really ministers to me through their words. Today, I share the Casting Crowns version of the American Dream…

But all work no […]

Spunky of Spunkyhomeschool wrote about the “heart” parts of homeschool and I must agree with her wholeheartedly.
One of the greatest rewards is helping another family with homeschool. Just when you are about to give up, someone calls and says “you might not remember me, but some time ago I called you and […]

Homeschooling possesses many advantages over conventional public school education. When we went on vacation to Florida in late January, homeschool came along. The homeschool student already knew the assignments. The books were brought along. During the 2o hour trip, homeschool assignments were completed. Education is a life long process […]
