Our home school is called Sola Fide Academy, a name intended to remind us that "faith alone" is our grounds for continuing this work.
I was even more encouraged when this brief description jumped out at me from a blurb for a church we plan to visit while at my Mom's in Tallahassee:
This church traces its roots to the Protestant Reformation and its four great affirmations: (Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, and Christ alone.) In these four statements, we acknowledge how we know God, how he befriends us, how we can please Him, and how He saves us from sin and its eternal consequences.
Since most of my life, I have struggled with being a people-pleaser, I think Sola Fide is even more fitting than I had originally thought. Pleasing God with what we do here is all that matters.

Are we still the "Fighting Monkeys," though?
Simia semper est simia.
Hmmmm. I know that semper means "always." And I assume simia means monkey (from whence we get "simian").
Okay, Pat, I'll try to solve the puzzle: "Once a monkey, always a monkey?"
(P.S. I know you don't watch TV, so to assuage your confusion, the above [i.e. "Pat"] is a reference to the television game show "Wheel of Fortune.")
You are very good at monkey business.
The whole saying is something like: A monkey is always a monkey, even if he's dressed in purple... that didn't seem to fit the conversation though.
Sayyyyy!
What? Did I offend you? You don't wear purple.
