Happy first birthday, sweet C!

How is it possible a year has passed already?!

God of my fathers...

Today as i contemplate another year and the amazing blessings I have received, I am thinking with gratitude of old Hugenot grandparents (Postels) and of old Puritans grandparents (Brownsons) who lived with Richard Hooker in Connecticut, and of my own sweet grandbabies.  And I am just so grateful to my Great God.  Happy birthday to me!

Wednesday without words

Join us on Friday!

On Friday, June 5, my son Ben will lead a Great Ideas Discussion at the Harvey Center online.  This is a free webinar (60-90 minute discussion on WizIQ) on a topic he is passionate about: "Words,words,words: linguistics, analogic thinking, and  human reasoning."  You can see more information here, and register using the form at the bottom of the page here. WizIQ provides a great interactive online environment, whether you are on a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, or a phone, a mac of a wndows machine (get more info about WizIQ here.) Come join us, Gentle Reader!

Throw Back Thursday

Here's one for the books: sibs Annie, Jeni, and Matt, with my very young and pretty mom. I remember you all this way!  Anybody remember which house or what year this was?

What are worldviews and why are they important?  More importantly, should busy homeschooling parents consider adding this kind of study to the already-busy schedules of their students?  I recently did a "Great Idea Discussion" on this topic at the Harvey Center, where I will be offering my worldviews class online for the first time next fall.  If you are wondering about this topic, Gentle Reader, or if you would just like to think with me about this topic, you can listen to a recording of the discussion here.  You will need to sign in and download the app for your device from WizIQ here (for free).

And if your interest is piqued, Gentle Reader, come join me for the class: An introduction tot he philosophy of Just About Everything".  Find more info here.

This month's free webinar in the Great Ideas Discussions hosted by the Harvey Center on the last Friday of every month will feature my sweet eldest son, Ben, speaking about linguistics and meaning on Friday, May 28, at 2:00 PM ET.  To join us see more information here, or to register FREE, fill out the form at the bottom of the Harvey Center homepage here.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Not sure I can tell everyone apart in this: from Christmas 1982.
