The Lord's Day

The Lord blessed us with a wonderful day. Jason preached his heart out, the fellowship at church was so encouraging, and we had a new family join. At home, we had a much needed restful afternoon.

KK reading with his new Robert E. Lee mug full of chocolate milk!

Sis patiently playing a game with Seth. He's 5 years old now, which at our house means he doesn't have to take a nap!!

Nanna and PawPaw got the boys new suits for their birthdays! Aren't they handsome?

I woke up from my nap and panicked for a minute when I couldn't find Seth. This is where I discovered him, on the floor between the stool and chair.

"Mama, I'm 5 now. I don't need a nap!"

Why do I homeschool?

I love the company and fellowship it allows
I've learned more since I graduated than I ever learned in school. If I can just pass on a love of learning and a good work ethic, they'll be fit for whatever the Lord has in store for them
At 7 hours per day (conservative estimate), for 180 days per year, that's 1,260 hours per year, times 13 years, equals 16,380 hours of their childhood that would be spent under government supervision. The Bible says, "Children obey your parents [NOT UNCLE SAM] in the Lord." God gave them to me, not the U.S. government. How can I expect them to embrace my ideals and my faith, when I let someone else hold a position of respect and authority over them for 16,380 hours of their childhood?
"Mama, who is Mar-tin Lu-ther King, J R?"
I can never forget how my own faith was shaken by teachers whom I greatly respected
Age segregation is something foreign. Playmates come in all ages and sizes, boys or girls, and some of my children's best friends are adults.
It is so much fun!
My children pity the fools and scoffers who believe evolution
We study real history, not the revised politically correct version
FIELD TRIPS!
My kids don't even know what a "nerd" is, and believe me, they would be labeled "nerds" in public school. Nor does either of them know a curse word, and they think a dirty joke has something to do with passing gas.
I don't have to wonder if some pervert is having his/her way with my babies while I'm not there to protect them
I can control my children's environment, keeping their hearts and minds pure for the work of the Lord
NOTE TO OTHER HOMESCHOOL PARENTS: All of the above reasons are completely NULL and VOID if you give your child a laptop or computer and hours of private, unsupervised access to the internet. He or she would be better off in public school.
