October 31st brings about little trick or treaters in our neighborhoods but it also reminds those of us in the Protestant faith of an extremely important celebration - Reformation Day. The day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Door of Wittenburg Church on October 31, 1517, began a movement that is still continuing to this day.

Homeschooling: It’s Never too Late to Start
I am not a seasoned homeschooler. My hope today is to encourage you that you can begin homeschooling wherever you are at in the lives of your children. My experience is homeschooling one child...and not until eighth grade.
