…but our family traditions are changing. It’s not an easy thing because, as you know, without Tradition, life is precarious as a fiddler on the roof. Right? Right. So, here’s my short spiel. We’ve always used a clothes dryer. It’s a tradition. The Girl’s mama used one, and her mama’s mama before her. But, now, we now [...]

Dear Christian Homeschoolers, Please don’t get our homeschool conferences confused with the other organization that recently disinvited Ken Ham to an event after he publicly called into question the faith of another Christian vendor.
