Ants.   What do you know about them?   Do they intrigue you?   Or does just the sight of them make your skin crawl? Photo by Pranimm Athithawatthe via Pexels I know I’ve had my run-ins with them.   They’ve invaded our house, more specifically our dishwasher.   They’ve turned periods of relaxation into bouts of panic by climbing on or near my vicinity.   They’ve frustrated me with their persistence in establishing and re establishing residence.   And they’ve fascinated me by moving in circular motions prior to an oncoming storm.   My feelings of ants tilt toward the side of annoyance. But King Solomon was clearly fascinated by them.   In Proverbs 6:6-8 King Solomon writes: The fact Solomon knew these details regarding ants caused Mark W. Moffett, author of Adventures Among Ants: A Global Safari with a Cast of Trillions, to weigh in asserting, “King Solomon must have been a devoted ant observer to reach this conclusion.” Why would a kin...

(Updated 4/21/2022.) Confession alert - we're planning our first family get together since the beginning of COVID-19. It almost feels like we're doing something illicit. What about you?

(Updated 4/21/2022.) This third week in May for us brings the final day of the school year, a birthday in the family, and continual care for our plants.  How about you?  What are you looking forward to in this third week of May?  Perhaps some of the ideas below will give you an additional reason (or two) for anticipation. Just in case you wanted to know, the inspiration for these calendars came from a year of homeschooling one of our nieces.  We created every activity each day around the theme of a National Holiday for that day.  It stretched our creativity as leaders and linked learning for our niece.  She thoroughly enjoyed it and we enjoyed sharing in it.  So, we thought we'd try to spread some of that cheer on to you and your learner(s).   Now, that being said, we would never want you to feel like this is an obligatory checklist.  Or that you must celebrate every day on the list.  Or that you even need to see it as a celebration...
