Aug. 20, 2007 - Sage Thoughts
Posted in Faith

We were discussing different teachers and preachers and the fact that we don't always agree with everything they say and yet we can still learn from them. 
The 11-year old said:
"Oh! So it's like fried chicken? You eat the meat and throw away the fat!"

I asked the 17-year old why Christians would even think about attacking each other. 
I was just musing aloud.
It was a rhetorical question!!
But she said something that floored me:
"Because the thumb wants to be bigger than the toe."

I guess I better keep homeschooling.
It's definitely working.

I'm learning so much...

Oh MY! How cool to have such sages for children. Those are priceless answers and yes homeschooling is just one of those magical things you just can't put a label on. So much good and so many wonderful things happen in the small and everyday moments.

Pretty savvy kids, there.

I have to agree with your 17yo. I think a lot of judgementalism within the church stems from people wanting to look "more righteous" than their fellow believers. Unfortunately, they're the same people that give Christianity a bad name. :(

Hey there...aren't children so great at seeing through the pollution that clouds our lives and coming up with the meat of the matter!

I hadn't been getting comments on my posts here at HSB. So I just was looking around and realized there were a dozen or so comments I hadn't responded to.

Please come visit me at my new blog home. I had so many technical issues with HSB I had to leave, plus I wanted a blog with my name on it.
