Mystery of History

Lesson 61: Ezekiel

We read portions of the book of Ezekiel, the MOH lesson, and then watched the two Bible Project videos. These are so helpful with the prophetic books!

We read about the dry bones in Ezekiel chapter 37. I even did the “edible scroll” activity in the Companion Guide, with flattned bread and honey. We opened up Then and Now Bible Maps and looked at the Babylonian world again. This lesson ended with the kids adding Daniel and Ezekiel to the “Kings and Prophets of Judah” page, under Post-Exile prophets.

Lesson 62: Shadrach, Meschach, and Abed-Nego

I don’t know about you, but the Veggie Tales song from Rack, Shack, and Benny always plays in my head when I think of this story. But it’s another great story like Daniel’s, of young men of God who would not compromise. They were rewarded. We read the MOH lesson as well as Daniel chapter 3.

Lesson 63: Buddha (Siddhartha Guatama)

As we study other religions, I like to make sure we are coming from a biblical worldview. So we read the MOH lesson, and then read John 10:9, 31 and 14:6. We also read Chapter 1 of “Don’t All Religions Lead to God?” I have the Kingfisher book of World Religions, so we looked at the Buddhism pages in that.

To finish up, we added these events to our timelines, did the mapwork in the Companion Guide, my 9 & 12 year olds added the corresponding sections to their labpooks (folder books), and everyone did the Week 21 review quiz.

    Seems like the link is broken for the book “Don’t All Religions Lead to God?” Is the author for this Gary Poole?

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
