Kiah: Um we don't just use one curriculum. We use different ones. It depends on the subject. For math our whole family uses Saxon Math. I'm switching this year to Fred Math though. My five year old brother Jonah is using horizon. (I guess our whole family doesn't use Saxon then.)

My name's above. It's actually a pen name. There's something exciting and mystical about having a pen name. I like to talk but, I also like to think. Writing seems to help me chew on my thoughts. I think thoughts are taken for granted. Often times I don't think we realize how weighty our thoughts are. Sometimes we don't realize it until we actually process through our thoughts. If you've ever swallowed a chip and felt the sharp pain as it goes all the way down, within those five seconds you really wish you would've taken care to chew you food. What about in life, taking the time to really chew the information we take in? As humans, we take in an enormous amount of information with our five senses. We aren't always aware of this information. God designed our brains amazingly so that we aren't getting distracted by every little bit of it. Writing helps me to process this information a bit. It's my way of chewing on it.
1~"Mercy, detached from justice, becomes unmerciful."
2~"The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. "
3~"Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done..."
4~"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. "
5~"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."
Chesterton:
1~"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die. “He that will lose his life, the same shall save it,” is not a piece of mysticism for saints and heroes. It is a piece of everyday advice for sailors or mountaineers. It might be printed in an Alpine guide or a drill book. This paradox is the whole principle of courage; even of quite earthly or quite brutal courage. A man cut off by the sea may save his life if he will risk it on the precipice.
He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine."
"What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism."
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried"
Charles Spurgeon:
1~"Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus-humility, happiness, and holiness. May God give them to thee, Christian!"
The Avett Brothers (A Band):
1~"So you want to be in love like the movies But in the movies they're not in love at all And with a twinkle in their eyes They're just saying their lines So we can't be in love like the movies
Now in the movies they make it look so perfect And in the background they're always playing the right song And in the ending there's always a resolution But real life is more than just two hours long
Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel But I don't see one single solitary light technician Or one single camera in this moonlit field"
Your family just started school this week? What curriculum do you use for school?
