Spiritual Gifts Inventory

Earlier today, I was listening to Cindy Rushton and Kathy Butryn at the Ultimate Homeschool Expo 2008 (yes, it is over now, but you can still buy a ticket and get in on the fun and goodies). The teaching was on helping your child discover their life purpose. Cindy certainly has a heart [...]

What Flower Are You?

Thankful Thursday…hee hee, a day late
