How Should We Then Live??

If you click a link I provide here, I might earn a small commission at NO EXTRA charge to you.

During my first and only year at bible college, I had the ridiculous pleasure of sitting under the teaching of Dr. Jack Layman.  He made history and western civ MIND BLOWING.  He introduced me also to philosophy which fascinated me beyond words.  

Over the course of those two semesters, he shared Francis Schaeffer's HOW SHOULD WE THEN LIVE video; the book was required reading.  I am forever grateful for that time and for Dr. Layman helping bring my mind up to speed with how/why our culture IS the way it is.  

Last night I was wow'ed all over when hubby and I started watching this with our two older children who are studying western civilization via a fantastic homeschool curriculum written by Linda Hobar called Mystery of History.

I love the way Schaeffer weaves in art and science along with religious practices while taking us along to places where it all happened.  The filming is brilliant.  Our 17 year old son who excels as a film maker, enjoyed the artistic story telling.  

It helps me make sense anew of where we are today.  I look forward to the next 10 weeks as we study and discuss ramifications.  The conversation last night was stellar and lasted hours past the first lesson.

Inner Life - It Begins

It finally happened.

I hit the emotional dumping grounds where the life-long suffering (from having a mentally ill parent with personality disorder-just diagnosed) has been hiding within me.

I could NEVER get to it!

Now there are massive emotional areas I can finally "get to" and the stuff on this healing center site goes along with nicely with what I've been led to learn and practice over the past decade.

I've spent the past couple of months laying low and healing from the stuff I've finally had the strength (etc) to face. It's been such a challenge and I appreciate these techniques which I can work on in private at home while I am with our children all day. 

It's making a difference gradually. I'm finally in NO hurry and am happy with whatever pace I find myself in day by day.

I'm sharing an affiliate link with you in case you get a nudge to take a peek too. If you sign up for the healing center through my link, I will earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.  Click the image below to learn more.
