It’s almost time for the most un-wonderful time of the year (next to June, now, I guess.) Today I’ll be answering listener questions about alternatives to Halloween, giving suggestions for some excellent biblical worldview curriculum options and talking about the latest fad in parenting: “gentle” parenting. As you can guess, I’m not a fan of the world’s definition of gentle parenting. God has a way that is both gentle and wise. Listen in! SHOW NOTES

0:00.0 | Hi everyone, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to Off the Bench. Today is Mailbox Monday and you guys |
0:05.6 | are filling up my mailbox. And so I'm going to tackle your questions, stick around. I think you're |
0:10.8 | going to be encouraged. Well, hello to everybody who's watching this podcast on YouTube. It's a |
0:25.2 | fun little adventure we're having, getting this thing out on video. I got to say adding the video |
0:31.2 | component to the podcast has made this a whole lot more work because it used to be I could just come |
0:36.3 | into the studio and just slap on some headphones and call it good. And now I'm trying not to look |
0:42.8 | terrible. So hope you guys are appreciating that I'm trying not to look terrible because I'd rather |
0:48.6 | be in my pajamas in the studio. And that's the truth. But in any rate, thank you guys for tuning in. |
0:55.2 | We appreciate it. I told you that I have had a really interesting month. So it's been, I guess, |
1:02.8 | long enough for me to sort of dive into this. I've been getting questions lately about endorsements |
1:09.5 | that I may or may not make for the coming November elections, particularly as they relate to my area. |
1:16.4 | And I will be making those endorsements letting you guys know how I'm going to be voting and why. |
1:22.8 | And also sort of letting you know that I've been quiet and with good reason. So I think it's |
1:29.2 | roughly 33 days ago. I got my first ever migraine headache. And I have had a migraine now for over |
1:38.0 | a month in and out of the emergency room. I've been doing, you know, IV hydration. I missed my |
1:45.0 | daughter's wedding rehearsal because I was actually in the ER trying to get relief from this headache, |
1:51.2 | which was just absolutely crippling me. And we think about five days ago, four days ago now, |
1:57.4 | we figured out why I've been having these headaches. And so for those of you who've been kind of at |
2:02.7 | the home school resource center, seeing me sort of quietly come in and quietly go out, that's because |
2:08.4 | I have needed things to be quiet. And that's a large part of the reason why you haven't seen me out |
2:12.4 | on the circuit very much or even making very many public appearances because I've been battling this |
2:17.5 | migraine now for quite a while. So I don't think I'm totally out of the woods yet, but we're definitely |
