Welcome

Welcome to our place...just two steps away from the funny farm! To explain this name, whenever things get crazy at our house, I always say "Well, we are just two steps away from the funny farm!" As a very busy homeschooling family, things DO sometimes get a bit chaotic. But we love this life of living and learning together and there is never a dull moment!

The picture of the beautiful Amish farm on this page was taken while we were on the Strasburg Railroad.

Reformation Sunday

Our church celebrates Reformation Day every year, remembering Martin Luther nailing his 95 thesis to the door of the Church and beginning the reformation across Europe. Our church hosts a Reformation Conference in which a distinguished speaker comes for the weekend and teaches several sessions and preaches both services on Sunday. This year, we had Dr. Carl Trueman, a professor of church history and academic dean of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He is originally from England and both his sermon and his accent were wonderful to listen to! He spoke on God's sovereignty in the salvation of His people.

And today for the first time, I was able to recite the Apostle's Creed without looking!! It took me one year and two months to memorize it! I was the last in our family to be able to recite it from memory. I say that I have SOOOOOO much in my brain already, it is really hard to cram more in there!
