When the Beach Bash Was Cancelled

5/29/2018

"Are you going to cancel the Beach Bash," Julianna asked me again.

"I guess I have to. The weather is supposed to be horrible all week," I replied. I consider any kind of weather where the sun isn't shining brightly horrible. 

"It's supposed to be 80% chance of rain at New Smyrna Saturday," she informed me. 

I have gone to the beach on the Saturday closest to my birthday every year for the last 18 years. I love the beach and it is so relaxing to be surrounded by my family and friends, hear the waves pound the shore, walk, and talk. It is a highlight of my year.

Unfortunately, this year, May was unseasonably rainy! I decided that I would just have people over for cake, ice cream, and games. We could play Headbanz, my favorite game! 

Julianna, knowing I was disappointed, texted our friend Laura who shot back ten texts. She was full of ideas and hurried off to the party store where she bought a plastic palm tree and parrot, as well as other Luau decorations.

When I came home from a book sale Saturday morning, the house had been transformed into a tropical paradise with shells, bright colors, and Luau decor. A slide show of photographs was playing beach music from the Beach Boys. The menu was tropical. Julianna made pina colada smoothies for everyone.  

I was delighted! We had a blast visiting and playing games.

Rusty's Third Birthday Party

3/21/2018

​It's hard to believe that three years have gone by since we welcomed little Rusty into the family--the first grandson on both sides. 

Mike and I have been friends with Donald and Laura for almost 20 years and were so excited when their eldest son fell in love with our oldest daughter. They got married and started having beautiful babies, our beloved grandchildren.

​This past weekend, we got to celebrate Rusty's third birthday. 

His parents threw a birthday party for him in their backyard. They invited friends and family to help celebrate! 

The kids played games and we enjoyed snacks and birthday cake. 

A New Bike!

Picture
Poppi and Lolly (Donald and Laura) got their grandson his first tricycle. A little red trike! He loved it! 

In fact, Rusty loved all his gifts and had a blast opening each one. 

It was so nice to see how excited and thankful he was, unaware of the price. He saw value in everything from little cars to a brand new trike. 

It was so nice to see him playing nicely with his friends and little brother. What a blessing to have a good-natured grandson. 

​Let me tell you about the party theme.

​We are excited to announce that Powerline Productions is part of the HUGE Build Your Bundle Sale going on from May 22-May 30, 2017.

​What an honor for us to be part of a group of amazing publishing companies like Media Angels, Visual Manna, Mystery of History, GeoMatters, Knowledge Quest, Write Bonnie Rose, Maestro Classics, Tapestry of Grace, and Trivium Pursuit.

​
​We have three books in the Brother/Sister Bundle.

​The Making of Real Men by Pastor Mike Curtis was created for his own son Jimmy. Mike mentored Jimmy all the way through high school and into college, covering biblical principles of godly manhood.

​Digging into the Word and memorizing Scripture combined with hands-on training prepared Jimmy for college, career, and future family life. It also knit their hearts together. Mike shares the first year of his material with other Dads who want to mentor their sons. Each father and son will need to put a copy on their tablet. 

Picture
​Real Men 102: Freedom, Courtship, Marriage, & Family by Meredith Curtis was created for Dads to mentor their sons, preparing them to overcome temptation, find a spouse, be a loving husband, and effectively parent in the future.

Pastor Mike took his son Jimmy through this material with positive results. This course is a one-credit life skills class. Though created to go through with Dad, it can be used in a group or co-op setting.

​Students will read living books, create booklets, dig into God's Word, memorize Scripture, write essays, and enjoy hands-on fun.

Picture
God's Girls 103: Courtship, Marriage, & The Christian Family by Meredith Curtis was created for Moms to mentor their daughters, preparing them to find a husband, love their husbands, and effectively parent in the future.

​Meredith took all four of her daughters through this one-credit life skills course. The result has been lasting good fruit. Though created to go through with Mom, it can be used in a group or co-op setting.

Students will read living books, create booklets, dig into God's Word, memorize Scripture, write essays, and enjoy hands-on fun.


​We have one book in the Unit Study Bundle.

Why Are Books So Heavy?

5/19/2017

Picture
This past Saturday I attended "Homeschooling's Black Friday," as my kids call it. It was a huge used curriculum sale. It was so well organized and easy to find amazing books. I found so many bargains. Classic literature for fifty cents or a dollar a book.

​Okay, I confess I am a book addict. I can't resist them. I have walls lined with bookshelves, but still there is always room for more.

​As all shopping must end, soon it was time to get in line. A long, very long line. In fact a two hour line with my piles of bargains. After fifteen minutes, my arms were hurting. After half an hour, my back was hurting, too. Another hour went by and it was two hours before I paid for my purchase.

​That's when it came to me.

Laura and I are the founders of Powerline Productions. We wanted to pass on to others the resources we had created as result of homeschooling our children and ministering to ladies in our church. Soon, our husbands, children, and friends jumped aboard and we are amazed by all the books, E-books, and audios we have to share. 

In 2013, God surprised us when Laura's oldest son and my oldest daughter fell in love and got married the next year. Now we have two delightful grandsons.

God is so good to us! We have not arrived, but press on to know Christ and live for Him. As we learn and grow, we want to pass it on to you. Please let us know how we can serve you. 

Warmly, 
Meredith Curtis, 
on behalf of Powerline Productions

P.S. Did we mention we love the beach? Here is the latest of both our families together at Jimmy and Josh's graduation in 2016.
