Allow me to share with you a true story about a workshop I was in recently. Perhaps something like what I describe in the following happens to you as you listen to a speaker in a workshop: The title of the workshop was “Architecture Always Wins,” and the leader of the workshop went on to [...]
I love how children KNOW God. I love the way children view God, how they hear and process the truths and stories from the Bible, and how they live it out. One day, a long time ago, a few years before my oldest son even entered school, we were at a beach by the ocean. [...]
I've come to the realization that I'm one of "those" moms. Back when Caleb was little, I was absorbing everything I could from the experienced moms around me, including strangers. I wanted to know how to do this mom thing right but probably more often than not I was making careful note of what I [...]
DEAR TRENT, In your last blog post, I had hoped you would try to be a little more personal in your writing and a little less, well, deep. (Some of us are not quite as cerebral as you.) You asked at the end if you had succeeded. Unfortunately, if I was your teacher, you would [...]

I placed 14 new students in classes in the week before school started. It was very busy, but exciting, and unprecedented. While the reasons varied, there was a definite connection, in some cases, to the current situation in the public schools. While it is a blessing to welcome these families into ACES, I am saddened [...]
I really like Susan Dykshoorn’s latest blog post. She did a great job of capturing what seems like an amazing summer break in an acrostic poem, and if you haven’t read it yet, do! You’ll get a very clear idea of the blessing of summer, and you’ll also realize how quickly I have jumped on [...]
Birthdays at the Siebenga House When my siblings (one older sister and two younger brothers) and I were growing up together, we would run downstairs on the mornings of our birthdays to read “The List.” Yes, we did look forward to the presents we would get (although I’m not sure I remember any of the gifts [...]
