Hello all (or any) readers!
I'm still alive. I apologize for not posting any blog entries over the last six months or so. I had some health problems earlier in the year leading up to a surgery in the late summer. I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but my health is steadily improving. Now I just have to dig out of under all of the things (particularly in my home and finances) that have piled up over the past year. Writing on this blog was one of those things that just had to go while I dealt with a lot of other issues.
I have started writing again as an instructor for the newly created George Washington School of Freedom (see http://gwschool.net/), a free online resource for learning more about our Constitution, American History, and how freedom principles apply to our every day lives. I strongly recommend that you check it out and sign up!
I was asked to join because I bring a different perspective - that of a mom and community activist - to all of these topics. I've included at the end of each lesson a section called "Ideas for Learning and Application" with all sorts of ideas for teaching these principles at home to your kids, maybe at Family Home Evening or a homeschool group.
The lessons that I write for the school are still mine, so I can post them here. I've already written three: 101 - Why I Love the U.S. Constitution, 102 - George Washington - An American Hero, and 103 - Introduction to the Bill of Rights. The lesson I'm working on right now is about the French and Indian War. I hope to be able to post these lessons here before too long, although this blog still has to take a back row seat from time to time so I can focus on my family and personal health issues first.
In the meantime, check out http://gwschool.net/ and sign up for this amazing free resource.
Take care & have fun reading & learning!
A place to compile and review my political thoughts on current events, personal experiences, scriptures, etc. I encourage respectful and thoughtful discussions of these topics.
