So impressed with the Bible in Preparing
Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 8:24 pm
We are on week 33 of Preparing Hearts (almost done!), and I was struck today, again, about how well my kids are learning to apply God's Word to life and their studies.
They've been independently reading a book about Albert Einstein (which is really great, by the way), and today read a chapter about how Albert's family used to play a "geometry game" by pointing out things in the house or in nature that had geometric shapes/principles. Anyway, as a conclusion to their reading, they had to read Romans 1:20, which points out that our world is so complex that no one but God could've engineered it. It just tied in so beautifully--and what an important truth for them to learn early!
It has been a wonderful year, full of great readings, discussion and growing independence. Those of you planning on doing PHFHG are in for a great year. Thank you, Carrie!

Now, I can't wait for the Bible quiet time added next year for my ds in CTC. I love to see how this part of HOD matures as dc mature. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it in any other curriculum, and I'm so thankful for it.
