Can We Handle His/Her Learning Disability in Homeschool?

Should we take our child out of government school? Oh my gosh yes! What are you waiting for?

Can we handle his/her learning disability? Oh my gosh, yes! Let’s break it down.

How well are things going now? What is the best solution to your child’s learning problem? Can’t that be remedied at home better than at school?

What is a learning disability, anyway? How has that language shifted the conversation?

Let’s talk.

 

by the way, The Home School Legal Defense Association was founded by lawyer parents who saw a need for their own children to be homeschooled, and realized that other parents needed their legal help . Here is their website : https://hslda.org/

Effective Trauma Therapy

Dr. Lendell Braud, Ph.D. brings us report of effective trauma therapy. After a career of teaching at Texas Southern and working with traumatized and at risk children both in private practice and in partnership with several charity organization, she is now working with veteran residential treatment centers around the country.

Please hear her time-tested ideas. Please hear her “guided imagery” as a way to walk people of any stripe toward hearing from and communing with God. Acknowledge that because she is a psychologist, working with public universities and a wide range of people, that she is not permitted to use religious language. So please listen, even if not in your particular denominational dialect.

Our hearts and prayers go with flood victims and responders.

 

Something CAN be Done! Engage!

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed. Sometimes we feel scared, too timid to do anything.Sometimes we are confused about what is the right thing to do. Sometimes we are sleepy.  Sometimes we are discouraged. Sometimes we are tired. Sometimes we are distracted by our addictions. Sometimes then, we are overwhelmed.

TIME TO PULL OURSELVES OUT OF WHATEVER MUD WE ARE STUCK IN!

Let’s engage our faith for a better future for our children. For better children.

The greatest legacy we leave is what we leave IN our children. But so often, we are under the circumstances. When our arms are weighed down, often we have to lift our hearts first. This is a call to envision better. To believe for better. That is the way… and then THE LORD has a container to fill.  It is HE would will give our arms strength — even strength beyond what we can imagine. But first, let us lift up our eyes.

Better can happen. We can fly up. First, we have to stop aiming down. “Nothing can be done,” is a lie. It seems like it is comfort, but really, it is enslaving!

SOMETHING CAN BE DONE! Lift up your eyes. Engage your faith!

Testimonies of Miraculous Healings

HEALING

I wanted to talk some more about miraculous healings. Normally, when I do that here, I just open up the scriptures. Well, we did have some testimonies: Betty, Melanie, and Shelby. But I wanted something fresh and here came Mario Murillo’s movie: “I am Living Proof.”

It was shot at one of his meetings; this one in Colorado Springs. In the movie you visit with 3 people who got miraculously healed.

EARLY AND LATE

Unfortunately, given the crush of work on me, I was not able to get this recorded and edited and published while the movie was still in the theaters. However, the stories are true. You can certainly find Brother Mario’s meetings on his website:  MarioMurillo.org

Maybe he will put out the movie in DVD format?

While the episode is late given the movie, I am posting it early given the weeks’ schedule. Still overwhelming. Every joint supplies.

POINT HERE: WE BELIEVE IN HEALING AND WE WILL TAKE IT ANY WAY IT COMES

Please remember: the point for GSb and OLP is that we believe in miracles and we will take them any way they come. Yes, we believe frank miracles. We also believe in healing — improvement over time. We also believe in healthful life style. We also believe in innovative, improved teaching methods. (about which, see our books   both Learn at Home for Great Shalom and Re-founding Education.) We also believe in faith applied (see How to Win the Game of School.)  Let’s don’t accept the lie of death, destruction and hopelessness. This ‘cast is here to encourage faith, to find the right answer, to obtain total well-being for all children.
