Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. In 2020 I suffered a
traumatic brain injury after a fall, and while it was a rough recovery, I learned so much, especially about how the brain learns and grows. Learning about the brain has even become a bit of a hobby, so I wanted to share a little bit with you today. My goal
is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if
some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.
Daily Bible Verse“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
(Proverbs
23:7)
sha'ar - to think, to calculate, to count; also to reason. The word is also a gate or opening in a wall. The entrance into a city included activities such as marketing and judging the livestock that passed through the gate, counting them as they entered. Source

Brainstorming a Homeschooling PhilosophyBy Anne Elliott, October 8, 2010, AnneElliott.com Ladies, it’s late at night when I’m writing this, and I have simply got to get to bed. My eyes are heavy… I’m falling asleep… Seriously, I’m breaking my be-in-bed-by-ten-o’clock rule. 🙂 I didn’t have time to finish this blog post as
I wanted to, but I’ll give you what I’ve got so far. Earlier this evening my husband helped me by sharing some of his homeschooling philosophy with me. We had fun by recording it in my digital voice recorder. (Isn’t technology great?) In addition, over the past few weeks I’ve been writing down scriptural references to
educating our children. My husband’s sermons, books I’ve been reading, discussions in the car, and even my private Bible reading have all contributed to an ever-growing list. Tonight, my husband listed several elements of a biblical education, and then we took our list of Bible verses and compared the two. I thought you’d enjoy listening in on our conversation....

Learning ProblemsBy Anne Elliott, October 28, 2011, HomeschoolingTorah.com Nothing is quite as unnerving to a homeschooling mom as finding out that her child is struggling in school. I know, because I’ve been there! I have several children that struggle in reading, spelling, handwriting, and math — and it can be scary! In addition, my
youngest child (not quite two as I’m writing this) has some significant developmental delays because of health problems, so I’m guessing I’ll be facing learning challenges for many years to come.
Many of you have written to me, so I want to help, but honestly, my strong point is research. Over the last year and a half (since we found out about our youngest son’s troubles), I have been reading and
researching heavily — and finding out that some of my older children also have mild learning problems that I had never even considered. (One friend put it well when she said, “All humans have brain damage. It’s just the extent of damage that differs!”)
So what should you do when you begin to notice a child is making downward progress in school or is suddenly falling behind in math? Well, for me, I
have been caught off guard. At first, I would deny that a problem existed, but since our state requires achievement testing, the yearly report would hit me with the bald truth. Continue Reading.
Author Christine Miller writes, "So is it true that the Scripture describes two different Gods, a God of the Old Testament who is different in nature and expression than a God of the New Testament? As I have studied this question, I have found one God, one faith, one gospel, and one people of God from Genesis to Revelation. I have found the God of
love, and the gospel of salvation by grace through faith, inscribed throughout the pages of the Old Testament--and not just in a few places, but in every book, in overwhelming repetition." Learn more |
Testing the Word of YHVHI wanted to share this blog post with you, written a year ago by my dear friend Christine Miller, on her blog, ALittlePerspective.com. Do you want to know what caught my eye? My children have been studying about the minerals in the earth's surface in science this week. We learned all about how minerals combine with other
elements in the earth's crust, and that in order to be purified, minerals must be heated up to the point where they can release their covalent bonds. Imagine my surpise, yesterday, when I read this blog post and saw that YHVH's Word says the same thing. In addition, it says that this is how God's Word is purified, and it's how we are purified, too. Read more. |
