That's basically why posting has been non-existent for a while. Believe me, I have had plenty to say, just not much organization or order to it. Add to that the fact that I am greatly upset by the topics on my mind, and well...I just don't have much nice to say.
Thankfully, Tricia over at The Well Drained Mind said it for me. And she was very nice about it.
I must agree that I too love my "homeschooling coccoon" and am often surprised by the very things that were a normal part of my own childhood. In fact, unless jolted back to remembering them, I carry on as if none of it ever happened.
In the life my husband and I have made, children matter greatly. We do all we can to rear them in a way that honors and glorifies God. That's why that "jolting back" gets me so very confused and dumbfounded. I can't believe people don't know better. And the truth is, they do know better. If knowledge and information were all that we needed to do the right thing, no one would ever have to be reminded not to drink and drive. No, knowledge won't do it. We need a Savior. And in His mercy, God has provided all that we need. His grace is sufficient--even for witnessing the mistreatment of children.
Amen!
