Today, our devotional focuses on nematodes—microscopic, worm‑like creatures that play a crucial role in soil health and are considered by science to be the most abundant creatures on Earth. During Curriculum Corner, we explore how to navigate the stigma that can come with homeschooling and consider what types of support—family, friends, church, and community—you’ll need, since homeschooling can feel lonely without a strong network.

Today we reflect on Christmas throughout history—from Columbus’s voyages to Valley Forge, the Great Depression, and the Korean War. These moments remind us how faith and perseverance have shaped our nation. Travel back in time by reading Christmas Messages from U.S. Presidents, like Harry S. Truman’s 1946 address at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree: “If we as a nation, and the other nations of the world, will accept it, the star of faith will guide us into the place of peace as it did the

Dolphins and sound present fascinating spiritual analogies. We continue our learning with sound activities during Arts-and-Crafts. In Curriculum Corner, we explore the cost of homeschooling. While expenses such as school clothes, tuition, books, and activities may be lower, it is important to remember that one parent often stays home—meaning the family now lives on a single income. Finally, in our interview with Dr. Michée B. Badé, we learn how to support those experiencing demon oppression.Every

Our devotion today is about poisonous shells, such as the Textile Cone. During Arts-and-Crafts, I share a shell craft and then reflect on your ability to homeschool.

Parents who begin the homeschooling journey bring with them their family’s culture—including their approaches to behavior management, or sometimes the absence of such practices. Next, we begin our

Dr. Mark Johnson continues his thought-provoking discussion with Rose Gamblin on covenant vs. contractual marriage. He draws a powerful comparison to those who begin a relationship with the Lord full of excitement, only to fade away when life gets hard. In their eyes, it seems God broke the contract. But Dr. Johnson challenges that view—what if they understood covenant? A covenant isn’t based on convenience or conditions; it’s rooted in commitment, grace, and enduring love. Just as God remains
