unschooled

My friend Susan pointed out today that Peter and John were unschooled!  This made me smile!

Susan wrote, “I laughed when I read the "Unschooling is unBiblical" quote because recently I learned that Peter and John were unschooled.  NIV Acts 4:13”.  (referencing this article - http://www.christianunschooling.com/discovery-channel-doesnt-count/)

Acts 4:13 --  ¹³ When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

Minimalism

“Minimalism for me is about having room for experiences and people.” – quoted from http://www.missminimalist.com/2012/05/real-life-minimalists-sarah-circus-nachos/

Every Monday I read Real Life Minimalists.  This weeks post is about Sarah who is going through all of her father’s belongings after his death.  I dread the idea of anyone going through my things after my death.  I participated in this job a couple of years ago when my dear “Grandma P” passed away.  It made me really think about all the stuff we collect over the years and how much of it we don’t need or use.  So slowly I have been going through my home trying to eliminate all the excess.  I like the idea of minimalism, maybe one day I will be able to say I am a minimalist.  :)
