Homeschool on the Fly

• Aug. 19, 2006 - VBS and home school?

We have had a very busy summer...my son has taken a week of swim lessons, and 5 weeks of VBS....I never thought before that I could send a child to more than one, we only over went to the week hosted by our home church.  It has been great for him, he's met some new friends, and comes home saying "JESUS loves ME!:"  which I think is great....

But...

All this talk about homeschooling my son, and I willingly give him over to other people to give myself some free time, and to let them teach him about Christ.  Am I confused?  Is there something wrong with my logic?  I am home schooling him because I don't want to have him exposed to all of the behavior problems so prevalent in the schools, but since it is a church, I don't have to worry about that????!!!

Well, in general, I guess I think that this has been a great summer for him, and we  got to meet people from different churches.  We went to 2 Baptist Churches, 1 Presbyterian, 1 Episcopal...and they were all great fun.  He's  gone on treasure hunts, learned about the mission field, and celebrated a FIESTA, and he came home with new vocabulary words, and art projects.

Now, I just heard, Church of the Nazarene is hosting VBS next week, with a super hero theme...great for my budding super hero!  So, it's off to church we go...!

But maybe next summer, we won't plan QUITE so much.

Ann, you write so well. I'm so glad you're on board with the whole homeschooling thing and realizing the benefits of it. My question is, where do you find time to do things like this? The blog? I barely have time to call my mother, much less sit and contemplate on the issues of life. Don't get me wrong, if it works for you, go for it! I'm a little envious that I don't have the leisure time to do the little extras... I enjoyed reading it and am very happy that you seem to be growing in your faith through this whole journey. God is GREAT, isn't He?!
I love you, Sis.
