Over the past few months I have been led to consider a part of my "curriculum" that might be lacking -- World View Education.  I was not raised with a Biblical world view, the schools did not teach from this view point, the media and current culture are definitely NOT presenting this view, so what is a mom to do? 

If we do not purposefully teach our children what a world view IS and, more importantly, provide them a strong foundation of seeing the world through Biblical "glases", then it will be too easy for them to be, "tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming..."

(Eph. 4:14,15)

Of course, I have definitely been convicted that first I must grow in my knowledge of God, love of God and walk with God!  So, I'm homeschooling myself this year -- with God's help, designing a course so that I can be better equipped to, well, equip my children to make a difference in our culture.

I've always felt that the best way to encourage our children that "school" is more than the time they are sitting at the table, is to have interests of my own.  To MODEL that learning really does happen all the time and that we never stop learning!

I'll share some of the resources I'll be using in a future post!  I've just finished reading, Let Us Highly Resolve , by David and Shirley Quine.  This book has profoundly affected my decisions regarding our "school". 

I'm looking forward to sharing what our whole family is learning!   

Okay, one of our SW Florida thunderstorms is knocking at our door -- time to shut down the computer!

'Til next time!
