Guess Who Is in the New TOS Magazine???

I just got my copy of the new issue, and excitedly turned the pages to find the article on Scouting that JayfromCleveland wrote. The reason this is especially interesting for our family is because our son BJ has his picture in the sidebar not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!!! How cool is that??? Also, I must admit that I was rather excited to see my name in the article for the quotes that Jay used from me.

Scouting is truly a perfect fit for homeschoolers, both educationally, socially, and it promotes such wonderful leadership skills. And there are scholarship opportunities!!! What more can you ask for? Our family has loved Scouting with both of our sons. You can read more about Scouting and hs'ing at the ScoutBlog.

If you are interested in checking out the pictures, BJ is a few years younger in the ones that were used for this article. He is now 6'2", so the pictures are a shorter and younger version of my beloved son. ;-) In the top picture, he is the boy pictured on the left front of the whitewater rafting picture, who was, btw, the only one who didn't get separated from the raft a second after that picture was snapped. The rest of the guys all were dumped in the Yough....River in PA, but he managed to stay inside somehow. The picture of him with the horse was taken 4 years ago when he was the youth director of the horsemanship programming area at our camp, where he has been on staff for 5 years now. Then the guy with the goggles is BJ scuba diving at National Jamboree in 2001.

There are some really, really great articles in this issue. I can't wait to have time to sit down and devour it!

As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to homeschool "Through It All." Illnesses, deaths, job losses, financial struggles, prodigal children, marital and family problems, and trying to build and now rebuild a family homeschool business have tried to take their toll on us. But "through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God..." Just as our little granddaughter trusted us and held our hand throughout her short but precious life, so we trust and hold onto the hand of our Heavenly Father, through it all..... I share our struggles as well as our joys in hope that others will find encouragement to persevere through whatever life may have in store, and to know that they are not alone... ~~~Kathy~~~
