Homeschooling around the World: Middle East

In this my final installment of homeschooling around the world, I will address the state of homeschooling in the Middle East. I was tempted to skip this installment since there is little data on homeschooling, or even education in the area. I thought better of it because with education being non existent, poor, or unstable, I could not think of a better solution for Middle Eastern families than homeschooling. As I recently wrote, many Middle Eastern families in America have turned to homeschooling. Meanwhile education in many Middle Eastern countries is weak due to safety reasons and sexual discrimination. While … Continue reading →

Homeschooling Around the World: African & Asia

Homeschooling is not just an American thing. I often receive messages from people in countries other than my own about homeschooling. Some of these people already homeschool their children. Some are curious about homeschooling. There are others who are not even aware that people homeschool in their country. With that said, I decided to discuss homeschooling around the globe. I would like to start with homeschooling in Africa and Asia. Homeschooling in Africa Information on homeschooling is Africa is limited due to the instability of many countries. Still there is some information in key countries such a Kenya and South … Continue reading →

Challenging the Status Quo on the Age of Weaning

Most people who are around Families.com for any length of time know where to go if they have a breastfeeding question. Especially one that’s out of the ordinary. It’s true, I’ve been nursing for what will be 9 years in March. . .although not the same child. I have nursed twins, I have tandem nursed singletons. I even had one child stop nursing only to start again four months later. . .which I allowed. I consider the minimum age for weaning two years, (following recommendations by WHO) and I’ve mentioned before that I actively encourage breastfeeding until this time. The … Continue reading →

Jesus, Our Promised Messiah

Posted on by

There are many people and religions out there that recognize Jesus as a good man but don’t believe Him to be the promised Messiah (anointed one). But, either Jesus is who He claimed, or He’s a liar. What honor, if any, does a liar deserve, whether they are good or not? When looking at the Old Testament prophesies of Jesus you can see there are some pretty specific events that had to take place in order for us to know He is the Messiah. In fact, there are over 360 prophesies that Jesus fulfilled! He was born where scripture said … Continue reading →

Evidence: The Bible

The Bible is an incredible book. The Bible tells the world about the Lord who created it and how to serve Him. The Word of God answers the great questions of life: How did we get here? Why are we here? Where are we going? The Bible tells us about the wonderful salvation we can have through obedience to the Lord. In line with the last few blogs about evidence for the existence of God, this blog will center on some of the evidence which the Bible itself provides for the existence of God. There are many different examples of … Continue reading →

Evidence: Man

In my last blog I wrote that the world around us is evidence for a Supreme Being. In this blog I want to write about what I consider another type of evidence for God: a specific part of the creation-man. Evolutionists will merely say that man is another animal here on this earth that evolved over millions and millions of years. For them, man is just another branch of the evolutionary tree classified as Homo sapien, simply another type of primate. However, there are many characteristics of man that are not like any other creature on earth. Man has the … Continue reading →

Evidence: The World Around Us

What types of evidence exist that point to the Lord and to His Word? I believe a strong evidence for the Lord is described in Romans 1:20 which states: “For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.” The creation – the world around us – clearly points to an Almighty Creator. Just today I was watching one of those nature shows. You know the ones I’m talking about – where the man is fearlessly hunting snakes that are longer … Continue reading →

Clarification on Asperger’s Syndrome and Violence

By now, we have all heard the tragic news about the shooting that took place in an elementary school in Connecticut. Some say the shooter had Asperger’s Syndrome. Experts point out that there is no evidence of a link between violence like what happened and the existence of Asperger’s syndrome. A tragedy has occurred in Newtown, Connecticut. I do not have the words to express the grief and pain that the parents of the children who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut must be feeling. Lacking that, I will instead quote part of what President Obama … Continue reading →

Fall Special Offers

With a new season comes a new batch of special offers at the Disney parks. Disney World is surprisingly light on new deals this quarter, so let’s take a look at it first. The main deal being pushed by Disney World right now is a free dining plan. Guests who purchase a non-discounted Magic Your Way room and ticket package at certain Disney World hotels get either a free dining plan or a free quick-service dining plan. The difference depends on the hotel; the bigger dining plan comes with the nicer (moderate, deluxe, or deluxe villa) hotels and the quick-service … Continue reading →

Like What You’ve Got

Nothing gets the Internet fired up more than a mom going public about her utter disdain for her child. And we’re not talking about a bitter teen, who stole the family car, crashed it into a brick wall and tried to torch it to hide the evidence, or even a grown kid who robbed his mother of her life savings. Rather, the mom in the media spotlight I am referring to recently penned an article for Redbook detailing her dislike for her firstborn, a “small, shy, weak, anti-social” baby, who apparently epitomized everything she didn’t want in a child, especially … Continue reading →
