Thank you for the words about your ol' Ma--I am honored to be honored by my favorite teacher ever--My Angela. I just love the way that you do what you do.

I have two very close friends who were home schooled and are home schooling their own kids. They are delightful sweet and smart people, but are a little sensitive and sheltered. Nothing too wrong with that though. The world is ugly. I have two cousins that were home schooled and they are some of the smartest guys I know. I myself had lots of learning issues in school, and when I went to a tiny Church School I did so much better! My friend Katie recently had to put her older kids in public elementary school. Life at home was too crazy to be able to give enough attention and time to them concerning school. It was really hard on her and her husband. She had a few people tell her it was basically evil to place her kids in public school. She felt bad and ashamed. I told her a story about my own son Austin (11). He was in a speech class with an Autistic boy. The kids were asked, "how many friends do you have?" My son replied that he had about 200 friends. Then she asked the Autistic boy the same question. He replied " I dont have any." Austin said to him , " Yes you do! IM your friend!" I said to Katie, this is why our kids are at public school. To share Jesus, to be a light in that school, and to be friends to those who dont have any. That really cheered her up because she realize that her own daughter was doing the same thing with her little friend who had freckles and no one would play with her. I just thought Id share that. I like your blog. Do you ever go to goodieblog.com? Its got tons of blogs on there like yours and lots of great ideas. Joy I liked your little blog.
