CAVA K-12 Homeschooling Materials Arrived

There was a lot more than I expected. Join me as I open the packages.

Cutting into the first box:

Each of the boxes contain suggestions imprinted on the inside flaps for how to reuse them. Funny.

Cool! They send science supplies. We keep these, and they are supposed to be good for experiments through 2nd grade.



Textbooks!

But wait, there's more. Here is some of the additional reading that comes with the history:

I'll let you know in a future post if there is anything bizarre about the choices.


The map has the US on the back. Wow, and we have a DVD. Neat.



Inflatable globe. Wall cross not included. :)


Uh-oh, this looks like trouble waiting to happen:

A couple more books, these on art:
The white paper at the bottom shows a list of art prints they sent us.

The level of awesomeness is only going up. We still have more boxes to open. Here are some math supplies I would have never thought of getting:
Kindergarten. The only grade I remember liking math.


On to music:
Yes, that is a tambourine and slide whistle. Incidentally, I also have a keyboard and a saxophone, so we now have the makings of a family band. Tour information to follow.


More science stuff:
I'm expecting the book What's Alive to be a metaphysical treatise important to both the abortion and euthanasia debates. Or not. :)

The metal on the books are two magnets. Magnets are always fun, especially in magic tricks.
Behind the books is another inflatable globe. I didn't feel the need as of yet to blow up a second one.


Now, on to some language arts stuff. You'll recognize many of the classics:

And then there are all of the writing helps:
The mini-chalk board is quaint. :)

Almost done. I nearly forgot to examine this box:

(obviously) More phonics stuff inside:

A 3-ring binder, some magnetic letters and colorful squares. Do I need to clear my refrigerator door to make room for the magnetic learning? Nope, the good folks of K-12 also sent:

Magnetic boards! We also have a DVD, phonics flashcards, and... miniature white boards? I'm not sure that will work as well as the personal chalkboard. We'll have to wait and see.

WELL...
That's it. Thanks for opening the boxes with me. Until next time!

RE: "Pastor Dayna Muldoon EXPOSED"

Image
It enough to make your heart ache.  "Pastor" Dayna Muldoon  has been pitching her tent in Florida, and like Todd Bentley before , false claims to miracles, healing, and prophecies litter her campsites. This video of a Calvary Chapel pastor exposing her as a false prophet has been appearing in various places, and its been uploaded to YouTube multiple times.  Even Todd Friel got animated about this , and nothing gets him hyper. Here's the deal: Muldoon set up her tent-meetings right down the road from Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg , peeking the interests of many attending the church.  When they listened to the message she presented, however, they found it not to be the Gospel, but instead the typical narcissistic message of health and blessings from God. This is coming from a Calvary Chapel crew, folks that are typically non-cessationists themselves.  Many churches, including this particular Calvary Chapel , host after-glow services where one expects similar claims

Was Rebekah a child when she married Isaac?

Did Isaac marry a three-year-old?  If you've never pondered this question, it's because nothing in the straightforward reading of the text would suggest that Rebekah was a toddler or that their marriage was arranged. Even so, a couple of verses out of context could be used by skeptics to prove anything.  While perusing the web for a related topic, however, I found a thread stating that the Bible isn't against the raping of children .  The cited evidence was this issue, the claim being that Isaac engaged in pedophilia. The question comes from the fact that Genesis 22:23 announces the birth of Rebekah after the binding of Isaac.  Tradition states that Isaac was then thirty-seven, and Scripture says that the two wed when Isaac was forty (Gn 25:20).  Hence, Isaac robbed the cradle. The whole theory is fraught with assumptions, the primary being that Scripture never records a age marker for Rebekah.  Further complicating the matter, however, is Jewish tradition, which spe

MacArthur: Calvinism in a Nutshell

Image
From YouTube: Calvinism (Also know by Doctrines of Grace or Reformed theology) John MacArthur use Romans 8:28-30 as main text. The five points of calvinism are Total depravity (total inability), Unconditional election, Limited atonement (Also called particular redemption or definite atonement), Irresistible grace (also called efficacious grace), and Perseverance of the saints. Full sermon http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/90-427 Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. And these whom He predestined, He also called. And these whom He called, He also justified. And these whom He justified, He also glorified."
