Believe On the Lord Jesus Christ  Mar 2018

The Proverbs Categorized: March 2007

A relatively short presentation on Bible Versions. Promotes the KJV and includes a comparison test with the NIV.
Baptism Dec 2003
Study concludes that infant baptism is not warranted and that there is Biblical support for all three modes of baptism.

Approach2Homeschool  Jan 2005
This is an article outlining our approach to homeschooling utilizing a combination of approaches with an emphasis on the Christian classical approach as taught in the Bluedorn's Teaching the Trivium book. Includes our current daily homeschooling schedule for 2005. We hope this can be an encouragement and a blessing to all those who read it.

Study on our education and viewing it through a Biblical Worldview.
Christianity & Magic Tricks July 2003
Can a Christian perform magic tricks or illusions? (Short answer: yes, but with caution!)

Music Software: Various piano and music tutor software programs available. I starting looking for music software to supplement our children's piano lessons. There are quite a few programs available, and this article is an attempt to list many of them with a bit of information about what they do.

Buying A Piano.  I didn't know how hard it was to buy a piano until we started looking. Pianos can be purchased new anywhere from $2000 to well over $50,000! A "must have" resource is Larry Fine's The Piano Book. It provides tons of information on selecting and buying a piano and teaches much about how they work and what separates a good piano from the not-so-good. Remember, however, that the views are from one person (though ratings are based on interviews with lots of piano technicians). The bottom line should be that you purchase the piano that you like.

Salicylate Intolerance: Cheryl's story of her Salycalte Intolerance and some potentially helpful resources. There is today much more information available about this issue than when this article was written over 10 years ago. Note - this is NOT medical advice, just our experiences with this condition.
Wet Shaving: An article I wrote quite some years ago on wet shaving with a traditional blade, shaving cream, and a quality badger brush.
