Life is but a vaopr...
This article by Doug Phillips on the death of Steve Jobs is a great reminder of what our priorities in life should be. We can supposedly achieve great heights and "make our mark on the world", but in the end it is only those things which are done Soli Deo Gloria that will be of any worth.

Marrying Well
The choice of a suitable spouse may very well be one of the most important decisions we will face as our sons and daughters reach maturity. That is why it is so vitally important that we approach this topic with a biblical perspective, and handle these relationships in a distinctively God-honoring manner.
We are excited about the Western Conservatory's upcoming webinar entitled: "Marrying Well: Practical Wisdom for Courtship from the Botkin Families." In this 5 week course they will seek to address important topics such as:
- Preparation for marriage
- What the Bible says about courtship
- Betrothal?
- Why strong brother-sister relationships are essential, in families and between families
- Dominion, discipleship, and life mission
- Risk management in relationships
- The deadly danger of worry
- What to think about emotions
- How do I know this is the right one?
- How to determine God's will
- Maintaining peace and harmony between families
- When to skip courtship altogether
- Engagement periods
- Wisely reforming American wedding ceremonies
Visit the Western Conservatory to learn more and sign up!

From Sophia's Sketches
We live in a youth driven culture that largely devalues the past. It is so important that we work against this trend and take heed to"Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee." Deuteronomy 32:7 However, we must not only remember, but also be grateful for the extraordinary sacrifices they made on our behalf.
