Apr. 29, 2008 - just browsing...

I spent some time last night just browsing blogs etc.  You all are very interesting! 
Any way......I found a few gems that I thought I'd share since my brain is not working deeply, just my hands doing deep cleaning and sorting for our move.

First this was in my in-box...

Why Are We Homeschooling?

"What God is seeking is not just children, but children who have been raised to choose the way of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord wants you to have full integrity and to walk worthy of your calling--and then bring your boys and girls right along with you. They are to be walking in your footsteps. Embracing your values. Serving your God. Choosing your Lord to be their Lord. The Lord wants you to pass the torch of godliness to the next generation."

- Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, Walk Thru the Bible Ministries.  This quote came from an article published in The Virginia Home Educator (spring/1997), and was chosen to encourage you to remember the heart of homeschooling is not just academics--it is passing the love of God to the next generation.

 

Then my friend Jen had an EXCELLENT post (all the way from Europe!) about Keeping your eyes on your own work.  You have to go read it!

And then there's this post that I have to add....because I was asked this question immediately after we told my father in law we were homeschooling. 

So go check them out and come tell me what you think.  
I'll go back to my cleaning and sorting.

Good choice of posts to pass along. They were both great and I loved the whole attitude about the prom. That gave me a good laugh.
Thanks for sharing.
