Can we too try to become heroes?
Yes, and although history argues persuasively against any but a handful matching their glorious achievements,
we can improve ourselves by developing the five values into virtues.
Some links here to sheets or standard forms that a friend of mine, Susan, has created. She shares them freely, to be a blessing. These all honor the Lord.
Mostly they are in pdf format, which uses Adobe Reader.

Whose child does not gravitate to a TV or computer? And especially, whose son does not yearn to spend every second they can watching something electronic? Harness this!
Do you know that there is a wealth of free videos on Youtube to teach your children everything from how to cook, dissect, march, play an instrument, draw, do algebra, and so much more.
I wanted to share this resource with you and had it in my notes to do so when I ran across this blog link I have here talking about pretty much what I have just shared. So, without further ado, please see what this mama has to say about Youtube.
By the way, before showing any Youtube videos to your children, please preview them first. In the same way, I do not recommend just turning them loose to search around on Youtube. I guarantee that most people do not have the same moral standards as your family does.
(Don't forget that Netflix is a great resource! Yes, I know it is not free, but it is very reasonable for what you receive in return. We watch lots of great Biblical and/or documentary or otherwise educational DVDs from them regularly.)
