I feel a need to say that I am not as legalistic a home schooler as my recent posts look like. I felt a need to represent how I try to cover the bases, while still always learning, home education being a lifestyle and not just academics. The academics help me stay on track with certain skills to be learned, and then comes certain content to be presented, not by way of filling a container, but by ways that support explorative thinking, including questions that lead to discussions of worldview.

 

Above all is the spiritual character training of arrows and eternal souls for God.

 

Most of all I am amazed at how God equips us for this mission, if we lay down our agendas and do all His way, on His time, seeking Him, always. My way is tinkling brass, while His ways are full of the richness of God's glory.

I have the same convictions about the importance of homeschooling our children-it is for the Glory of God. It is always easier for me to do so when I remember that I am an employee of Him. On the days that my body aches and hurts more than I can stand from exhaustion, I remember this-we do it for Him. I appreciate your post.

Dawn's Favorite Post



I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, the scenery and invigorating climate. But most of all because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who almost beggared themselves for others.

If the spirit of liberty should vanish from the rest of the Union, and our institutions should languish, it all could be restored by the generous store held by the people in this brave little State of Vermont.
