Notes from Greencastle
Aug. 23, 2007
What with all this talk about work . . .
Here's an article about Leisure.
Provides a useful context for the Living Wage discussion, and for homeschooling in general. I don't really know much about the history and genealogy of the Protestant Work Ethic, but realize that its impact is sometimes felt in Christian homeschooling circles. It is easy to slip from striving to do our work better, and offering up that work to God, down the slide into giving work too great a place of importance in our lives.
But I point you to the article, because I can't count on myself to keep a balanced, or even properly informed, perspective on the question.

Why "Greencastle"?
We have a green castle in our back yard. We named our school after the castle. (We were required to name it something. I don't know why. It was on the form.) Now I've named my blog after our school. Because it's supposed to be a blog about our homeschool. But I blog about other things, too.

The Holy Father Says
"The starting point of being a Christian
-- and therefore the origin of our witness
as believers -- is not an ethical decision or
a great idea, but the encounter with the person
of Jesus Christ."
