(Keynote speaker at the Homeschool Conference)<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.<\/p>\n

This is a reminder to you that your family is BEAUTIFUL.<\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a glory which the Lord has placed around you every day.<\/p>\n

We don’t prioritize the things God prioritizes.<\/p>\n

Stop to appreciate the moments of victory or we will miss them.  We love the opportunity to enrichen our lives and build a multi-generational legacy.<\/p>\n

Drink deeply in the flowers, the rainbows, the stars and your children will too.
\n1 Chronicles 16:29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in holy array.<\/p>\n

Psalm 27:4 One thing I ask of the LORD,  this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 
\nall the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.<\/p>\n

Victories<\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nobility in the commonplace (Proverbs 31-High premium on doing our duty.)<\/li>\n
  2. The Hope of the Newborn<\/li>\n
  3. The Preciousness of Childlike Faith (He told the story of his son waiting in the rain for him, even though he had forgotten about his son.)<\/li>\n
  4. The Humor of Family Idiosyncracy<\/li>\n
  5. The Blessing of the Family Table<\/li>\n
  6. The Enthusiasm of the ‘Cowboy Years’<\/li>\n
  7. The Holiness of the Epiphany (when your kids mature and they understand.)<\/li>\n
  8. The Gravitas of the Family Investiture (transition from youth to adulthood-chronicle and mark this time as significant)<\/li>\n
  9. The Blessed Mother<\/li>\n
  10. The Triumph of the Patriarchal Blessing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Individualistic (self centered) vs. Familistic (family centered) cultures<\/p>\n

    -The family table is where we get to know our family.  Recover the glory of sitting and feasting together.  Time to tell stories, quizzes, singing, catechism, and Bible.  The table is a place of discipleship.  <\/p>\n

    -The typical family meal lasts less than 20 minutes now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
