We've all played the game. "It" chases you trying to tag you so that you become "It". As you run away from the danger, you head towards that one place where "It" cannot get you. Home Base, Safe Zone, The Place to Maintain Freedom. While there, "It" cannot touch you. You are free and relaxed. Yes, you'll jump back out into danger after you've recovered your breath. But you know you can always come back for that breather...

I have a Little Friend (LF) who comes over to our house often and who struggles with her Dad. Sometimes it gets pretty volatile at her Dad's house and she ends up very angry with him, hate apparent in her heart. The fights between them have been getting uglier and uglier and threats now loom over her. I was at a loss - I didn't know how to help her. But someone else did...

I have truly been struggling with this article for a long time (since June of last year to be exact) because it can be a *really* long article or it can be short. Besides, it goes against all societal norms and therefore may be a shocking concept! It's a good thing that I have the experiences from three other families to back this one up!

Pastor Gerrod, of Alpine Church in Layton, related the following story to us one Friday evening. He, being in charge of the grocery shopping, came home and listened as his wife stated that there was nothing to drink in the house. Gerrod went to the refrigerator and noticed that they had filtered drinking water from the fridge, a bottle of Cranberry juice, and milk. What she meant was...

While sitting at the kitchen table this morning and reading my scriptures, I heard the familiar voices of my two youngest children; not the happy cadence I'm used to; these voices were raised to a "contentious" pitch. One door slammed. They were having what my English husband would call a *row* (pronounced ra-ow) - it's what I call a fight. Who wins this one?

Pilar Delmo http://kids-faith.com/ kat@kids-faith.com urn:kids-faith-com:kf22 2009-11-08T12:58:01Z

Pilar is a very dear friend of mine who has walked what a lot of us have walked - a very broken road that leads to God's Healing Grace and Love. She is one powerful woman who unashamedly shares her love for Christ with everyone she meets. Read this great story of transformation.

The passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett sparked an interesting conversation with my 13 year old daughter Erin. We talked about celebrity status and its responsibilities. Where does our society stand on this issue?

Homeschooling has been an important part of our lives. The results are leaders in the making in our home, who are making a difference in our community. This article describes our philosophy, the books that have inspired us, the books we use, and how we do it. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

We had an awesome experience happen to us today. We played at the Ogden Rescue Mission last night and saw a need. God provided the ways and the means. Truly a miracle!

Think about this for a moment. Your children are awake anywhere from twelve to sixteen hours a day depending on their age and sleeping habits. Who is the most influential person during those waking moments?

Two fast friends become enemies in a day - this one is a big job and I can't handle it on my own. Here is a great lesson on how to handle conflict between friends (siblings included).

I love Ionic and Covalent Bonds. They both have the same result, two atoms bonding to create a chemical compound; but they go about it in two very different ways. Find out what types of bonds are and what they have to do with your children.

So we promised an article on what are the classics - right? Pete and I both wrote one! So here is Pete's take on it which would equate to the IQ side of things as he is a man...

Kat Connolly http://kids-faith.com/ kat@kids-faith.com urn:kids-faith-com:kf12 2008-12-06T12:10:02Z

My take on the classics takes on a more emotional look at it. As a friend told me once, he glosses over the emotional stuff and gets into the intellect of things. Gary... I don't think this one is for you! (big grin) Check out Pete's for the intellectual stuff!! LOL.

I sinned last night... well, okay - I didn't really sin but I allowed my children to stay up past their bedtime. What was so important that I would make an exception to that rule? Check it out...

I love scriptures where God talks about delighting in us. It fills me with a warmth knowing that even if I'm not perfect and I make mistakes, He delights in me. Surely it's only fair to give our children the same love, by delighting in them always...

Okay, time for me to get on my soapbox and unload one of my pet peeves. I walked into a home once to fix a computer. A film was playing in the background. As I walked from the Living Room to the Kitchen, I caught a glimpse of just one...

I remember watching the Opening Ceremonies for the 2008 Olympic Games. This fare dominated our senses from a Sony 60 inch rear projection television. What a spectacular job the Chinese did with lights, fireworks, dancers, and effects! I was fascinated by the vision being offered. I was also reminded again as to why...

It's been a long day at work; the clients especially difficult, the traffic horrendous. When you get home you still have another full time job to finish. Dinner, laundry, cleaning, homework with the kids, reading. And you know that tomorrow it just starts all over again. It's towards the end of the week and your sleep has suffered.

Our children aren't perfect, and neither are their parents. Here is my story of what happened when my children stray, and the effect it had on me.

In our opinion, our families are struggling with morality issues due to the worldly influences that have invaded our homes. God has warned us to guard our hearts and our minds, to not let any detestable thing into our house, to be responsible for the upbringing of our children. We are serious about His business that God has entrusted us with. We are responsible for our children, not the schools, not the church, not their friends. We, the parents, are to teach them God-Given Values and Principles and show by example how to live a life pleasing unto Him while enjoying a great relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.
