The Woodcarver

The other night my family watched a great Dove family approved film called The Woodcarver. It releases on DVD next Tuesday, March 13th. This movie stars John Ratzenberger.

Something Big is Coming!

Don’t you want to know the REAL truth about a product before you spend your money? Too many times I have bought books and curriculum on a whim to later regret the decision.  I want to know what other homeschooling parents think.  Is it all it’s cut out to be?  Does it work with their [...]

Theo

Faith, obedience, forgiveness…these are all qualities that we want to instill in our children.  The earlier we teach these things the better chance we will have that they take hold.  Cartoons can be a wonderful tool for teaching, which is why I am excited to share with you a new animated series called Theo: God’s [...]

The Grace Card

The Grace Card releases today (August 16) on DVD.  I have wanted to see this movie since it came out in theaters.  Friends had told me it was very good.  Last night I watched it with great expectations.   In a powerful way, the film dealt with sin on many levels such as race, pride, and [...]
