Let's share what we've been perusing this week. From household tips, to spiritual growth...and everything in between!

 

Lots of good stuff this week.  I’ve been finding things all over the map:  Manners, modesty, education, government, motivation, and more!

I would love to hear what you think, and see what you’ve had open on your desktop this week.

Here’s what I’ve been reading:

Veggie Tales, Moralism, and Modern Preaching … at Canon Fodder.  My kids liked Veggie Tales OK, but we were never super into them at our house.  Still, when I came across this article, I expected to disagree with everything in it.  But I didn’t.  It’s a valuable perspective and well stated.

Mind Your Manners:  How and Why to Make Simple Deposits Into Your Relationship … at Confessions of a Terrible Husband.   Manners matter.  But how often do we neglect them with the ones who are closest to us? 

Four Reasons You Should Not Be Modest … at Blessed Transgressions.  This is a lovely perspective on what modesty is and isn’t.

Oregon Rancher Receives Government Request to Survey His Property – Read His Brilliant Response … at Patheos.  This is outstanding.  Pure genius. 

How to Get Over, “I Don’t Feel Like It.” … at College Info Geek.  I love this guy’s videos!  I’ve got several pinned to watch with my boys (on note taking and reading textbooks efficiently).  He’s speaking directly to students, but can I say, lots of valuable insight for old moms like me too.  (*Note* There is occasional use of words some may oppose to in the videos, so if you’re concerned, you may want to preview before watching with your kids)

 

What have you been reading?
