.: Happy to help! :.

For more than a decade, I have kept my website ad-free, with the exception of book links which have generated only a few dollars. I have donated a great amount of my time and money to helping others through my website. Keeping in mind Luke 10:7 which says, "The worker deserves his wages," I have added a donation button for those who can afford to show appreciation financially. THANK YOU!

If you want to be in my "Circle of Trust" where I share more details about my children and family, you must either agree with or deeply respect my opinions. I am Christian (Presbyterian, Reformed), pro-life, pro-freedom, pro-homeschooling (since 1996, classical, Christian, self-teaching), pro-attachment parenting (sleep-sharing, baby-wearing, breastfeeding), pro-natural birthing, small-c-conservative-capitalist-libertarian, anti-socialism, anti-vaccination, anti-spanking (pro-non-punitive disciplining), anti-cry-it-out, anti-drug, and it gets worse! I love Sarah Palin! *grin* In addition, if you want to be in my "Circle of Trust" , please email me with personal information about yourself and your family and make your request clear.

FREE FROM THE LAW

Free from the law, O happy condition,
Jesus has bled and there is remission,
Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall,
Grace hath redeemed us once for all.

Once for all, O sinner, receive it,
Once for all, O brother, believe it;
Cling to the cross, the burden will fall,
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.

Now we are free, there’s no condemnation,
Jesus provides a perfect salvation.
“Come unto Me,” O hear His sweet call,
Come, and He saves us once for all.

“Children of God,” O glorious calling,
Surely His grace will keep us from falling;
Passing from death to life at His call;
Blessèd salvation once for all.

HE SET ME FREE

My soul is filled with joy and gladness
Since Jesus came to me.
His love has banished all my sadness,
From sin I am set free.

He set me free, He set me free,
I was blind, but hallelujah, now I see!
I shall ne’er forget the day
When He washed my sins away,
And He set, He set me free.

The Comforter divine is dwelling
Within my soul today;
His love to others I am telling
Since Jesus came to stay.

The grace of Jesus hath abounded
For all my sins I see,
Salvation walls have me surrounded,
From sin I am set free.

GLORIOUS FREEDOM

Once I was bound by sin’s galling fetters;
Chained like a slave, I struggled in vain.
But I received a glorious freedom,
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.

Glorious freedom! Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator—
Now and forever He shall be mine.

Freedom from all the carnal affections;
Freedom from envy, hatred and strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions;
Freedom from all that saddened my life!

Freedom from pride and all sinful follies;
Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger;
Glorious freedom, rapture untold!

Freedom from fear with all of its torments;
Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ, my blessèd Redeemer—
He Who has rent my fetters in twain.

HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Has he read “Myth of the Robber Barons” by Burton W. Folsom? J read that last year, and it made a huge impact. And I assume you’ve looked through some of the resources available from FEE: http://fee.org/resources/ . I’ll ask Hubby about other econ resources — he usually weaves quite a bit of economics into his history classes.
