Gena SuarezHey Mama,

 

Technology can be monster or a tool for our children or for ourselves as homeschool moms–like everything else God has given us. It can give us access to learning we might not be able to afford or find where we live. Technology can make us more efficient, but can also be a huge time waster. You and your spouse need to prayerfully consider what technology you allow in your home and how to use that technology to benefit your home and school.

 

And speaking of prayer …

Don’t forget to end this night in prayer. One of the best ways to drift off to sleep, actually, is while praying to your Father in heaven, the One who loves you so much.

Turn your face toward Him and pour out your heart. Charles Spurgeon said at least once, “Prayer is doubt’s destroyer, ruin’s remedy, the antidote to all anxieties.”

It’s really true. When your head hits the pillow tonight, resist the worry-talk in your head. Instead, cast all your cares on the One who has saved you. He knows what happened today and He has ordained what will happen tomorrow. Lean on Him … pour yourself into Him as you fall asleep. His hand is on your head tonight.

Media Socialization

Technology is here to stay, but we also know there is a need to balance it with the other areas of our lives. SchoolhouseTeachers.com has classes to help you and your family understand and use the technology that is at your fingertips and evaluate its effect on your hearts and minds. 

Computer Science and Programming with Chris Yust of Homeschool Programming, Inc. takes students from the basics of HTML through Minecraft mods and Boolean operators. Parents do not need to be familiar with the subject; all instruction is included in the lessons, and Chris is happy to answer any questions you have along the way.

Media Socialization with Dr. Lisa Dunne-professor, author, pastor’s wife, and homeschooling mom–takes a hard look at media and entertainment and how it affects us. Not only will students analyze the effects in their own lives, they will develop a plan for making a positive difference in the entertainment world and in society.

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”
