Why you should be at the Family Home School Retreat at Cherokee Cove on May 1-3:

• You can relax and be refreshed.
• You can spend time with your family.
• You can eat delicious food (ain't no "camp food" served around here!)
• You can enjoy the beauty of peace of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
• You can be encouraged by hanging out with other home school families.

I will be teaching and leading discussion at this retreat. My family will be there and we look forward to being encouraged and equipped with you!

If you could change your marriage in ONE weekend, would you do it? God can do it if you will seek him and apply these biblical principles for your life. In addition to great food and time alone together, we will be discussing how to have a PEACE and PURPOSE in your marriage.

The following topics will be explored:

• What is God’s purpose for marriage?
• Why are there so many broken marriages?
• What are the roles of husbands and wives?
• What do I do if my spouse is doing something wrong?
• How do we have a peaceful, productive conversation?
• How do we build a fulfilling marriage?

Here is a description of the accommodations at Cherokee Cove in Mountain City, TN:
