While homeschooling high school, Meredith and I teach our children government. This is an important class. All students must study it before graduating. We find it so important that we don’t wait until high school to begin teaching about government. My 17 year old son has actively worked on two presidential campaigns and taken the equivalent of three government classes. We also sprinkle more than just a few government lessons in our American History classes each time we cover the subject.
Evolution is a scientific hypothesis which states that through a series of tiny changes life has come from non-living chemicals. After a continuation of gradual minute changes increasingly complex and diverse life forms have been born. The culmination of all these modifications has produced the current collection of living organisms.
We serve a wonderful God! We are so blessed to be able to do this. He is Great! The Psalmist can sometimes overwhelm us with his expressions of admiration and appreciation of our Lord. The Lord can definitely overwhelm us with His love and greatness. Do you ever feel like you couldn’t possibly worship the Lord in a way that is worthy? “Nothing I could say or write could ever compare to what King David did.” “I’m not wise like King Solomon. How could I ever give anything to the Lord that would be good enough?”
God made man in his own likeness and image. God made man relational. With these two facts firmly in mind we must realize that God is also relational. He wants to have relationships with each of us. I for one am glad He does. I’ve always enjoyed friendships and companionship. I have especially enjoyed spending time with people who are smarter and more interesting than me. God definitely fits that description.
Isn’t it great to know that God offers us Total Access to His Grace. We moms can only to do so much, but God’s Grace enables us to do exactly what we need to be doing, as long as we will turn to Him.
As a homeschool wife and mother, I am responsible for caring for my home, loving my husband and assisting him when he needs me, and loving and care for the needs of my children, which includes making sure they get a good education.
I just got back from teaching my homeschool coop government class. Laura (the other half of Powerline Productions!) teaches the class with me. There are nineteen homeschooled kids in the class. Most are 10-12th grade, but there are 2 sixth graders and some middle schoolers. There are a great group of kids!
