If you read my previous post titled Doing it all? Or neglecting to teach necessary life skills, and you don’t receive all comments to this site via RSS then, you might like to pop back to the post and read the comments. Jacqui has made some really good points that I wanted to point out.

Our Devotional Journal that we used with the girls. I designed this as a simple way that the girls could do their own Bible reading and were prompted to follow the steps in our Kerugma Bible study approach, using the 4 step process with the anagram of IDEA.

As I posted a few entries ago, I’ve been spending time with friends and extended family and I’ve witnessed some things which really make me think…deeply. I have gone home and spoken with my husband about them. Why do I worry so much about it? Its not so much that I worry, but as my children are getting older I want to teach them about parenting. Sure they’ll learn parenting from being parented but I also want to be more direct in my approach to teaching about it. S I talk to my children about why I parent the way I do.

Yay, I have finally uploaded the first 5 studies, in pdf format, of our Kerugma Family Bible study. Admittedly we completed these lessons over a year ago but nevertheless, as promised, they are now uploaded.
To use the lessons, simply download them at the Download Page…along with the Activity Sheets…the Obvservation Sheet and the IDEA Bookmarks. Don’t forget to read the preamble about how the format of our lessons and all other related bits n pieces.

I like to watch people.

Yup, I even like going to the mall and just observing people, families, singles, children, elderly, anyone. I find it very interesting. I guess I really like people and I like learning how people think and believe and how they behave. These times of observation invariably lead me to times of intense thinking. Tehee, this used to be a bad thing as my head would get into a spin and I’d drive myself nuts. Maybe it’s part of getting older or maybe it’s the effect of the Holy Spirit in my life but I find I’m more able to speak less and be more patient in processing my thoughts before trying to verbalise them.

I have finally uploaded the discussion notes from the SA workshop. You can see it by visiting Kerugma and clicking on the download section.
