A Mystery at Oxford

On the evening of February 1, 2012, more than 1,000 people crowded into an auditorium at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The event was a showdown between two scholars over an explosive question in biblical studies: Is the original text of the New Testament lost, or do today’s Bibles contain the actual words—the “autographs”—of Jesus’s earliest chroniclers?To hear more feature stories, get the Audm iPhone app. On one side was Bart Ehrman, a UNC professor and atheist whose best-selling books argue that the oldest copies of Christian scripture are so inconsistent and incomplete—and so few in number—that the original words are beyond recovery. On the other was Daniel Wallace, a conservative scholar at Dallas Theological Seminary who...

How to Homeschool

It’s a little ironic that I created a post entitled, How to Homeschool, because I don’t honestly believe there is a “RIGHT” way to homeschool. Children are different. Families are different. Priorities are different. A style that suits one family perfectly may be completely wrong for the family next door. The flexibility to homeschool how we choose is why many of us chose to homeschool in the first place. We did not WANT the cookie cutter, factory-style education that institutional learning offered. Homeschooling represents freedom. I don’t believe there is a wrong way to homeschool any more than I believe there is a right way. There are benefits to all the different methods. (This post shares a summary of many...

How the Earth’s last supercontinent broke apart to form the world we have today

Newfoundland and the Canadian mainland, photographed from NASA's Terra satellite on March 31, 2004.

Before Pangaea began to disintegrate, what we know today as Nova Scotia was attached to what seems like an unlikely neighbour: Morocco. Newfoundland was attached to Ireland and Portugal. About 250 million years ago, Pangaea was still stitched together, yet to be ripped apart by the geological forces that shaped the continents as we know them today. For many years, geologists have pondered how all the pieces originally fit together, why they came apart the way they did and how they ended up spread across...

My Kids Are Becoming Vampires

“I have to run into work for a sec. You want to ride along?” “Nah, I’m about to eat lunch.” “It’s 3:15!” Today’s latest evidence—my kids are becoming vampires. Me, channeling my mother: “Get out of bed, the day’s half over!” “Why?” I don’t have an answer. Why go to bed early? Why not sleep until noon? Why not eat lunch at three? Who cares? There’s nowhere they need to be. We’ve made few requests. Keep up with school work. Get regular exercise. Do the chores we assign. Early on in the pandemic, Sophie vowed to use her extra time to learn to play Eli’s guitar. She hasn’t done that. But she plays her flute and saxophone. She draws. She...
