From I Corinthians 11:7, we see what glory involves.
For a man indeed ought not to cover hishead, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man
Women are the glory of man in three ways.
1. From the man - She is his glory because God created Eve from Adam's side (Gen 2:21)
2. For the man - God created a helper for man that was suitable for him. (Gen 2:18)
3. Man comes from woman - Every man with a wife is a man with a mother. Since he is born of a woman, that woman (his mom) should receive any glory he receives since she brought him into this world.
This is just a quick synopisis of how woman are GLORY. Her task is glory. Her fertility is her glory.

Fun Learning Activities
Looking for some creative ways to encourage a "love of learning"? I just found a site with ideas to spruce up your homeschool, especially if your children are in the love of learning stages of leadership education.

Topics for Writing
A few posts ago I shared a writing tip you could use in your homeschool. Since that time I was once again reminded how important it is to let our children have some ownership over their writing topics. Let me share my story....
A week ago my son listened to IEW Student Writing dvd for his assignment. He needed to research a person and write a 5-paragraph paper. In the back of my mind I thought it would be great if he wrote about one of the early church fathers. We were studying the end of the Roman civilization and it would help him remember one of them well. Besides, he could read one of the books that we didn't have time to read in history. Of course, he wasn't very interested in those men.
I could tell his disinterest as we talked about his topic. So, we started talking baseball. He had just finished reading a biography of Derek Jeter, so I suggested doing his paper on Jeter. He didn't complain and even told me of 2 other sources he could use. (He had to use a minimum of 3 sources and only one could be internet.)
It was decided. He would write about Derek Jeter.
This week he has slowly found intereting and important information about Jeter. Today we found 3 topics about Derek Jeter. Next week, he will outline his paper and begin writing.
Believe me, I have a much happier son because he is writing about someone he likes, not someone Mom told him to research. I know his paper will be much better, just because he has an interest in his topic.
Do you let your kids take leadership (& ownership) in their writing topics? If not, why not? Next week, discuss an assignment and THEN let your kids choose their OWN TOPIC. They will be so glad you did and you will be glad when you read their finished paper!
