Thank you for clicking through from the Gary Thomas site to mine! I am honored that you enjoyed my poem "Corpus Christi" enough to visit here. I have created this special welcome page for you, but you are welcome to visit my regular home page.
My name is Virginia Knowles, and as you can see in the picture above, I have a rather unusual family. I am the wife of Thad, and the mother of Mary, Julia, Rachel, Joanna, Lydia, Andrew, Micah, Naomi, Benjamin, and Melody. This web site is the home of The Hope Chest Home School News, an e-magazine I have published since February 1998. I invite you to click these orange links to read selected articles, enjoy more of my poetry, subscribe to the e-magazine, find out more about our family, e-mail me, learn about my home schooling books, request prayer or visit my regular home page.
Since you are visiting from the Gary Thomas site, you may particularly wish to read The Beautiful Fight book review, or my own article on Christian contemplation which features an interview with Gary Thomas, or Cherishing Your Marriage (a chapter from one of my own books which quotes Sacred Marriage).
Thank you again for visiting my web site, and may our Gracious God bless you abundantly as you seek to sink your roots more deeply into him.
