We're
glad you stopped by for a visit and hope you find some things
that are useful for you here. What is written is primarily for
the Christian, but if you don't see yourself in that category,
we think you can still find plenty that
might interest you. A quick word, though; our
desire is that our Lord Jesus
permeate everything we
think about, talk about, write about, and do, so
you're going to bump into Him repeatedly on here. Of course,
you'll be
meeting Him one day, anyway; perhaps you'd like an introduction
to Him
first.
We're
a husband and wife team - John and Kim, happily married for 34
years in Sept 08! We are blessed to have
three wonderful
adult children, a sweet daughter-in-law, two great sons-in-law, three precious
grandsons, and a sweet pea of a new little granddaughter.
Our family homeschooled
(graduating all
three of our children from home), did
Bible
School
at home, vocational training through our home, and made our home
in a lot of different places
(in other words - we moved a lot! But we
got to meet many wonderful
people that way, and see
lots of interesting places). I guess you can say
we've been
'home' oriented - home being our family, never just
a location.
Our
writings here tend to be exhortive and informative - sharing
some of
the things we've learned over the years, along with oodles of
ideas we've
gleaned for spiritual growth, family and home life, home
learning, ministry,
and other areas that interest us. Use them to spark ideas in
your own life.
Our intention is to give you HEARTFELT encouragement toward the
magnificent God
Who created us all so you can know Him better and glorify Him.
Simplifications
and condensations best explain much of our stuff. (Had you
already guessed that from the simple
look of our Home Page?) We've been
blessed to read and study a lot over the years (yumm), but these
huge
amounts of info necessitated our learning
to synthesize things - find the
main points of a work - pare things down to 'just the facts
ma'am' - put stuff
into formats that help us to remember it - and organize things
for easier
retrieval. Whew! If we hadn't done this,
we'd probably have forgotten a tremendous
amount of the things we 'learned.' Think
of these condensations as either
a 'Starter Kit' (to familiarize yourself with the things) or a 'Refreshings'
(to
remind you of them). Our
stuff is not meant to
be in-depth --- on
purpose.
Simplifying things is a big part of who we are, what we're
about. smile
One
goal for this website is to keep everything as user-friendly as
possible.
How'd we do? Meander around and see whatcha find. Our casa es su
casa
(our home is your home)!
