The December scripture cards are here for the Kids in the Word Family Scripture Memory Challenge! It’s a familiar part of the Christmas story. Mary visits Elizabeth and the two women rejoice together in the miracles that God is doing. The baby in Elizabeth’s womb leaps at Mary’s voice, and Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit….

BOGO Bible Studies at Not Consumed
One of our favorite places for kids’ Bible studies has been Not Consumed. Kim has written some studies that hit on topics our kids need to study and understand. She’s done that in an engaging and visually appealing way in each of these studies. Kim is running a Black Friday sale that begins today and…
Jesus Wept
I have a constant internal struggle that happens in my house about certain programming on television and whether or not it is appropriate for all ages, and sometimes, even for myself. Perhaps you might be wondering – what t.v. shows are the source of such angst? The evening news. To be completely honest, I am a…
Stopping The Drama Train In Its Tracks
We, as women, are way more prone to drama. We just are. God has made us with super big hearts, with super big feelings, that read into relationships…and conversations and actions and looks and body language…am I right or am I right? As much as I pride myself on trying to stay drama-free, I must…
Solution for the Gimmies: A Content Heart
“Gimmie. Gimmie. Gimmie.” Maybe at your house it sounds more like this: “I want… I want… I want…” My response is often something like, “Can’t you just be content?” But can my kids really be content?

Thanksgiving doesn’t tend to get caught up in gift giving or candy or trying to make sure the secular message…
Changes: Teaching About Puberty from a Biblical Perspective

Give Thanks to the Giver of All Things {Free Bible Memory Booklets in ESV or KJV}
It’s hard to deny–we (here in the West) live in a culture of entitlement and excess. Humility, thankfulness, and the recognition that all blessings flow from our God and Father are hard qualities to come by, even for those of us who really love King Jesus. (To be honest, we may not be big on…
Christmas Story LEGO Challenge
Do you have kids who love LEGOs? My boys love LEGOs and they have a ton of them. Ok, maybe not an actual ton, but when we moved to a new house they filled a medium size moving box and spilled over into another box. As a mom, I love the imagination and creativity that…
When Lightning Struck
The Reformation was one of the most important periods of time in church history. How much do you know about the people of that time? What about the stories of how the Protestant Church came to be? Martin Luther is one of the most well-known people and driving forces of the Reformation. He was a…
