Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Happy Monday! Today I wanted to share an entire 3-part series on character that I wrote back in 2011. A visitor commented that having good character is really about having a good name, and I thought that was great! 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.

A brand-new customer to Homeschooling Torah wrote: "I am just now, today years old, learning to organize our family…schedules, meal plans, etc. We have not been so good at it yet. I am already utilizing your planning helpers and print-outs. We have only

Holiness can be a sticky issue. Our culture doesn’t have any standard of right and wrong. It often comes down to, “This is what our family does, so that’s why you should do it.” So why does your family do it? When your child is grown, why should he continue to do
it “your way”? Wouldn’t it be okay for him to invent his own standards of right and wrong? If he comes up with his own standard, then does he really have good character? As you can see, before you teach “good character” to your children, you have to define what good character is. Read More |
