Some of you are familiar with Terri Camp, homeschool speaker and author.  She has a wonderful site called Ignite the Fire where she shares her vision.  Jen sent me her new site today which has more articles including this one:  Freedom from Fear which was especially encouraging.   She also includes a chapter exerpt about marriage.  (I discovered that Terri is unfortunately no longer married, though from what I understand through no choice of her own.  I found it encouraging that instead of becoming bitter she remains her same positive self, choosing to thrive in less than optimal circumstances. We can all learn from that!)

Along the lines of being  homeschoolers,  wives, and mothers, Elizabeth Foss writes compellingly this week about Who is At Home? reminding us that the key word in homeschooling is HOME. If that falls apart, the rest doesn’t really matter. Too often we run ourselves ragged in the quest for more and better, not realizing we are tearing our own homes down in the process.
