Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

Ryan's Box

Last spring Ryan decided to build a Medievil Box. He took the van out of my garage and it has been about 7 or 8 months but this weekend he got it finished except for the final coat of gloss. It has a chess board on top and also a sho-gee Japanese chess. And it has our coat of arms engraved on the side.
