Oct. 13, 2007 - Sabbath day
Today is Sabbath once again. I always enjoy the quiet of Sabbath. I completely understand why God gave man the Sabbath. We are not always bright enough sometimes to realize we need a rest from the hum-drum of daily life. Today I am reflecting on why I homeschool. I know without a doubt I enjoy it, I know it is the right thing to do and I see the difference in my boys.
I am currently reading John Holt's book, How Children Fail. I have read it before, but it seems more relavent now. Perhaps it is becuase J is almost 12 and a half or maybe it is becuase I see the news and all of the 'stuff' that goes on in public schools, or perhaps it is because I have an 8 year old who still doesn't read and I am not in the least bit worried about it. Who knows!
My dd is in Argentina. She is doing what she thinks is God's will in her life. It is amazing how much the experience has already changed her and she has only been there a very short time. She says it's being away from the hussle and bustle of life here in the states, being forced to rely on God and not her cell phone or the internet. It is brings a whole new definition to being alone with oneself.
