Poem: Happiness Will Be Realized

I want to journey to a place,

that’s unknown and unfamiliar;

He’ll stop the sense of déjà vu

and nothing can be familiar.

I’d love to get that sensation,

to live without pointing fingers;

when surrounded by holy peace,

I can know His Presence lingers.

Within this blessed serenity,

I’ll find His joy without worries;

Life slows to a Godly pace where

I’m being, not in a hurry…

to escape His magnificence!

Imagine…

Poem: The Human Condition

Traditions of men get in the way,

while creating an unholy mix-

the Human Condition fails us now,

as our eyes on ourselves are transfixed,

blinded to The Father’s heavenly sway.

When relationships sadly break down,

we’re torn about whom we can still trust-

the Human Condition fails us now,

as we’re held back by our soulish lusts,

blinded to His mercies that abound.

Recurring loops of insanity,

ensure that we won’t find any…

Tarot Card Reading: Real or Fake?

Let’s try to look at things from a neutral point of view and learn more about both sides. http://bit.ly/1XptEcM

Yes, You can create a professional looking book cover using MS word

As Indie Authors, it's imperative that we present a professionally finished book to our readers, not only for their benefit but also for our reputation as an author. We all know it's difficult enough to create a bestselling novel, but if your cover is lacklustre and unappealing then you're sabotaging your hard work by not giving your book the opportunity to make the impact that it deserves.

ENRICHING LEARNING FOR ALL

Enrichment

It seems like such a simple word, but it can be one of the most important aspects of a child’s education. In so many schools, enrichment seems to be the tool of pushing forward learning for gifted and advanced students. Between programs, special classes, and extra time, these students reap great rewards with enrichment.

THREE WAYS PARENTS CAN USE PROGRESS REPORTS AND REPORT CARDS

It’s that time of year. Grading periods have closed, and students have come home with either Progress Reports or Report Cards, or possibly even both. As parents, we place the obligatory signature on the piece of paper and hand it back to our students to turn in the next day. We even review the scores and comments and might have a conversation with our child. But how to we actively engage in a conversation with them based on what the document says if we aren’t always certain ourselves? What…

IS THIS THE END OF STANDARDS BASED EDUCATION?

Recently, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced his resignation effective the end of the year. Immediately, President Obama named John King, Jr. as his replacement, leaving many to speculate on what his tenure could mean for education.

Many consider the end Secretary Duncan’s term to be more than a simple changing of the guard; they are speculating it may be the end of a standards-based education era. From 1993-2015, the tenures of

Secretaries Riley, Paige, Spellings,…

READING: THE MOST IMPORTANT ACTIVITY TO DO TOGETHER

As parents, we often worry about how we can actively help ours children’s education. Most of us aren’t teachers; we do not work in schools. In fact, we do not always even understand the standards they are supposed to learn, let alone know how to help them. But there is one activity we can do regularly that keeps us engaged with our kids, and helps their education at the same time: reading.

Reading is the most important academic activity you can do with your child.
