Come see me on Knowledge Box Central! Discounts and Freebies!
Hello, Blog friends!
Seems like I have been posting less and less this year and have been quite absent this summer. Part of that is because big things have been in the works. Now it's time for my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
I am the NEW OWNER of Knowledge Box Central!
I have been writing and working for Knowledge Box Central for about ten years. I hope my blog followers have grown to know and love our homeschooling lapbooks! Did you know we also have printables and interactive foldables for classroom teachers? I have grown to love this company and what we do, and so when the founder and former owner, Cyndi Kinney, with whom I have become dear friends over the years, decided to retire this summer, I decided to accept the mantle of leadership from her. I am so excited about this new opportunity!
Big things are coming, and we are having two months of big back-to-school specials in August and September! Keep checking back to my blog, and sign up for our newsletter here in order to follow all our specials and also receive $5 off your first digital order:

In addition, my blog followers can get a jumpstart on the new back-to-sale for next week! Receive $10 off any order of $25 or more using the discount code B2S-10OFF! (Only one discount code may be used per order.)

Kirk Cameron Presents: The Homeschool Awakening | June 13 & 14
There is so much going on in our country and our world right now. Are our kids safe? Do they have the resources they need to make it in today's competitive environment? What about character development? Will our children grow up to be people who care about others? People who take responsibility? People who are productive members of society? People of faith? What about our special needs children? Are they getting the attention they need?
If you have found yourself asking these questions, you might have considered homeschooling. I did, and then I decided it was not for me. I was definitely not interested. Forget it.
Then I changed my mind.
Almost 20 years later, I'm here with two successful college graduates, one successful college student, and one about to graduate from high school, all homeschooled from kindergarten through twelfth grade. And I'm writing and working for a homeschool publishing company. Never thought that would happen!
There is an Awakening happening in our country. See what it's all about!

Momentum Review: Pureflix Resurrection Day Movies (and a Giveaway)
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
Matthew 28:5-6 NIV
These are truly some of the most beautiful words ever spoken.
Imagine the women, confused by the events of the last few days. They had believed in Jesus, and he had been killed brutally before their eyes. According to the traditions of the Passover and the Sabbath, they had not even been able to give him a decent burial (though in the Gospel of John we find out that Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea had wrapped his body with myrrh and spices before laying him in the tomb). Early Sunday morning, as soon as the Sabbath ended, they hurried to make preparations. They knew the tomb was guarded by Roman guards, but they went anyway, hoping to be allowed to. . . what? See the body? Give it a better preparation? Just be there to weep and perhaps find a bit of closure?
Closure was not what they found.
The tomb itself was not even closed. The guards were gone. The body was not there.
Jesus was gone!
Fear set in. Anxiety. What had happened here? Were the Romans so cruel that they would take the body of Jesus and hide it from them? Would Jesus' followers be arrested, and perhaps killed?
And then they saw two men they did not know. Men more terrifying than the Roman soldiers. Men dressed in dazzling white clothing that was not of this world.
"Do not be afraid."
These men gave the women the news that has spread and that has given us hope for the past 2,000 years. The news that we will never have to be afraid again.
“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said!"
My grandfather and my dad always called Easter "Resurrection Day," the Day that Jesus rose as the firstborn of all Creation, and the Day that gives us the promise that we will one day rise to eternal life as well.
Resurrection Day is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the stories, I love the music, and I love Easter movies. I love historical period movies that are well done, that make the Greatest Story Ever Told come to life while we watch. Normally, I like feel-good movies. Movies that are appropriate for children. Movies with a little bit of comedy that I can relax and enjoy watching and not have to think too hard about.
The Passion of the Christ, however, is an exception.
I would love to dwell in the glory of the Resurrection, listening to triumphant music, donning my new Easter dress or bonnet and thinking only of the happy ending to this story. That is all important, and indeed we should spend most of our lives realizing and being thankful for the Resurrection. But sometimes, we need to really meditate on the road it took to get there. Our sin was a great. Our punishment would be unbearable for us. To truly appreciate the Resurrection, we need to know what Jesus really did for us. As uncomfortable as it is, we need to see the size and the roughness of the cross. The length of the spikes that went through Jesus's hands and feet. The cruelty of the Romans. The hatred of the Jews. The desperation of Mary's screams as she watched her innocent son be put to death in one of the most brutal forms of execution ever invented.
I was not comfortable watching The Passion of the Christ. I would prefer to not think too much about the Via Dolorosa - the Way of Suffering that Jesus had to bear for me. But it was powerful. It was well-researched, done in the original languages with subtitles. It left me changed.
How can I not serve the God who would come down from heaven and suffer this for me?
The Passion of the Christ is rated R because of the graphic depiction of the real events, and it is not appropriate for younger children. I would very much recommend it, however, for older teens and adults. As we prepare our hearts for Resurrection Day, this movie is an excellent way to meditate on what came in the days before.
The Passion of the Christ will only be available from 20 March to 19 April 2022 on Pure Flix. See the trailer here:
You can find a wide array of Easter movies on Pure Flix, which has a 7-day free trial for new customers. Some serious, some lighter, I think selecting a few of these movies is an excellent way to prepare ourselves for the season.
In addition to the 7-day free trial Pure Flix, I will have a drawing for a giveaway of one 3-month Pure Flix subscription. Comment here or on my Facebook page with your favorite Easter song or movie to enter. Drawing will be held on April 7.
