Looks like the deep south is about to be snowed/iced in. The store shelves are wiped out and most of us are remembering the historic storm of 1993, when we had 18″ of snow and lost power and water for 5 days!  18″ may not sound like much for some of you, but here in Alabama the mere mention of the “S” word sends waves of panic of being without milk and bread.

We’ve made our preparations. I have some food cooked, all the laundry is done, bathroom and kitchen cleaned and water drawn. The cards,dominoes and Yahtzee are on standby.

If we have the ice the weatherman is forecasting there will be falling pine trees , which means power outages.  A part of me looks forward to being cooped up for a day or so and enjoying a pajama day. Hopefully it won’t last too long, we’re pretty spoiled to electricity and running water!

One thing about homeschooling is you don’t usually get a ‘snow day’.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
