Over the past several days as I've shared about On-line Literature Circles [see On-line Literature Circles and H.G. Wells Interview ;)], I've personally reflected upon the influence of family (and family history) on what

• I value (and how I live)
• my children value (and how they live/grow up, seeing who/what is truly 'god' in our house)
• those with whom I minister value (and how they incarnate the Gospel with 'head, heart, and hands' in their life/vocation).

This is a topic which I dug into last week in two on-line posts:

• The Incarnational Stream & Higher Education: Family -- ESN Blog
• "review" of Mike Austin’s Wise Stewards: Philosophical Foundations of Christian Parenting (Kregel, 2009) -- InterVarsity website

If you've not already read these posts, I encourage you to do such.

Additional comment: If parenting is part of your daily life, you intend it to be, or you counsel/minister among parents/children, then Wise Stewards: Philosophical Foundations of Christian Parenting is a must read as you shape your philosophy of Christian parenting. If you have not already done such, please take the time to check it out this summer. Maybe this is an apt piece for an on-line book discussion. Maybe I should ask the teacher from Dongal Spring Elementary for some ideas, even a rubric :-0
