We just got back from our first ("Teach them Diligently") homeschool convention, and in a word, it was great. We came back focused, energized, better informed, and enthusiastic about the road that we have ahead of us. Voddie Baucham and Ken Ham were great as keynotes, other speakers and workshop hosts were equally fantastic (and yes... some were also outright duds). But more than anything, I think Venesa and I were both swept away by the sheer size and level of support provided by the Christian homeschool community as a whole. There's certainly comfort in numbers, and an equal amount of reassurance in experiencing the extent to which were are not alone. We came back with purpose, in sync with each other's vision for our school, and doubly excited to continue down this path. I pray that the Lord continues to guide our every step in this and every other endeavor that involves our family. We pray that we remain in His will, and thank Him tremendously for what certainly has been an unexpected and unforeseen path to the here and now.

It takes a lot of dedication to do what you guys have decided to do.I know that like in everything else you approach you have put much time, thought,research and prayer into making this decision.Fortunately for the kids you guys have the academic backgrounds that you do. Although it takes much more than that.Patience for sure, which Venesa has tons of. I commend you both, although you don't need my stamp of aproval, but wanted you to know we support your decision. We continue to be so proud of the parents that you both have become! Hats off to a life long journey.
