There are a lot of reasons homeschooling parents begin to do so.
This week I was chatting with a dear friend of mine and we discussed
that God calls some people to homeschool and other not to
homeschool. We also mentioned that sometimes we homeschool only
for a season and then our children move into the public school system
to be a light. SO, in light of these truths, I ask you to
contemplate the question my title solicits. Homeschooling: is it
the right choice for your family or simply you exercising the right to
choose?
I
have known some die-hard homeschoolers who claim it is the only way,
and then there are the homeschoolers who have claimed this
responsibility, but then felt that perhaps God didn't actually call
them to it in the first place. Sometimes we do things simply
because they are the "Christian" thing to do or the "popular" thing to
do or even the "right" thing to do, without ever having received
conviction regarding them. This question is an opportunity to be
sure that all of our decisions...even the "right" ones are right for
the right reason.
So,
I have added another quiz to the sidebar under the Halloween poll and
would love it if you all would participate and share what initiated
your journey on the road to homeschooling. If you choose to post
your own comment, please do so here.

• Oct. 24, 2005 - How do I look in these jeans?
"Good, better, best. Never let it rest,
until your good is better, and your better best."
Sometimes what is right for one person is wrong for someone else. God created us all unique. We don't all fit into a size six. For example, a pair of jeans may fit you, but not me. No matter how hard I try to make them fit, they won't. At least not the way they should. Either they're too big or too small. I may be able to pull it off (or on, as the case may be), but they will never look quite right.
Of course this does not apply to everything. Sin is sin. It doesn't fit well on anyone, if you know what I mean. ;-)
