A note about John (Calvin, that is...)
Some here have expressed interest in reading through Calvin's Institutes this year, as Dave and I are doing. I am going to try to write about it on Sundays at my other blog, but because we are traveling this weekend, I've posted my favorite excerpts there today. If any of you would like to post your favorite passages, or share things that have touched or encouraged or challenged you, please do so!
A homeschool mom-alumni who enjoys teaching and learning about lots of things, including classical education, writing, worldviews, music, and the Bible.
