Comments on: Homeschooling… a unique calling http://www.journeyguy.com/homeschooling-a-unique-calling/ Life, adventure and faith in south Arkansas Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:55:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Jeff http://www.journeyguy.com/homeschooling-a-unique-calling/#comment-2846 Jeff Fri, 18 May 2007 04:39:49 +0000 http://www.journeyguy.com/archives/883#comment-2846 <b>Suz, my pleasure! I think the most important thing in the whole issue (and any similar issue) is simply love and humility. We are all turned off by those who claim their way is the only way when this issue is so much a part of a family's calling, gift mix and passion - from both perspectives. I have deep respect for so many homeschooling parents like you guys and others that intentionally, thoughtfully, and joyfully enter into the process and at the same time can still see benefits and blessings in our public schools. Our family has chosen the public school route as strategically, thoughtfully and prayerfully as some who might send their kids to a "Christian school." It's a matter of grace for us all to allow each other the joy of pursuing what we sense the Lord calling us to do. Thanks for your comment! I didn't know you still knew where my blog was! ;)</b> Suz, my pleasure! I think the most important thing in the whole issue (and any similar issue) is simply love and humility.

It’s a matter of grace for us all to allow each other the joy of pursuing what we sense the Lord calling us to do.

Thanks for your comment! I didn’t know you still knew where my blog was! ;)
