– Helpful and practical article on Getting Started Homeschooling Today by Steve and Kara Murphy
– Soup Built Upon a Rock, article based on the children’s picture book Stone Soup and even includes a recipe for stone soup
– full page, high quality print of Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (my daughter Johannah’s favorite painting)
– Christ the Solid Rock, a beautiful memorial for Chris Klicka (1961-2009) by Marilyn Rockett
– An Overview of the History of Israel and Egypt by Ruth Beechick – the real story of Egypt
– Not This Morning! by Michelle Miller – good thing I wasn’t reading this while at the library this morning as I was giggling all the way through

But the best part of the issue is an article by Ruth Beechick — Economy Built on the Sand: Studying The Creature from Jekyll Island, A Second Look at the Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin. This, in my opinion, is Mrs. Beechick’s finest article.

Thank you, Homeschooling Today, for publishing this.
