It's always time well spent.

Diving Into the Arrowverse

I've decided to turn up the geek and dive into the Arrowverse following along with the episodes in order according to this handy resource . I finished Arrow Seasons 1 Episode 1. This is a LONG list. It's going to take me a while to watch this! It should be fun.

Teaching From a Place of Rest

I'm enjoying this book. I'm not going to utilize every tip, of course. It's got some great ones that I will implement. Loved this point about homeschooling: "to help my children preserve wonder and perceive truth, and to do each day's work as diligently as I can." Then, there's this gem: "We know that we must begin with surrender, that prayer is foundational, and that our daily grind is holy ground."

Music Designed to Illicit Emotion

Several days ago, I watched this YouTube video with my husband. Its title doesn't do it justice! It's very educational, interesting, and just cool. This video comes to mind again because of a comment about Hillsong music on Facebook. Yes, there are the scandals, but this comment struck a chord with me. (Couldn't resist the pun!) The comment (in part): "Hillsong always bothered me because their songs were always more emotion than substance, and their theology was weak or non-existent. The songs are carefully designed to induce an emotional response..." Emotional responses aren't bad. They're human, and God designed music to do exactly that. That said, the emotional impact shouldn't be the priority over the goal of worship music, which is to worship God. Some worship music is even designed to share the Gospel. It's worth pondering all of this. Some Hillsong music, I like, and some I don't. I'm not boycotting Hillsong because of their scandals...
