I know this is totally off the subject, but I just wanted to give Teri a big “thank you” for her Corners in the Volume 2 Corners book. I cannot believe how she has read my mind and spoken to my heart. I especially loved the Corner about using traditional textbooks. We have not “officially” started homeschooling yet, as our oldest child is only four years old. Even though we decided to homeschool before our kids were ever born, I have been intimidated by the many homeschool magazines and resources that seem to claim that unit studies or even unschooling are the methods of choice. I was afraid that I just wasn’t creative enough for that, and I always wondered, “what’ is wrong with regular textbooks?” I have had a lot of “book learning”, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences degree and a Doctor of Medicine degree, but I still didn’t think I could handle unit studies! It was so refreshing and comforting for Teri to affirm that it is perfectly o.k. to use traditional Christian textbooks, as we plan to use. I was actually beginning to think that we were “weird” for planning to use a Christian textbook curriculum! Thank you so much to Teri for her practical advice and Titus 2 wisdom.

Yes Nathan, you do have a very sweet, special wife (Proverbs 18:22). You both are in our prayers often. What a special way to serve the Lord again together as a family! We prayed for you during the week and will continue to pray that the Lord will give the increase to those seeds that have been planted and watered.

It sounds like the Maxwells were certainly used of the Lord at the fair this year! I love the image of you bending down to look a child in the eye and offering them a wonderful balloon creation:) What a unique way of shedding abroad the love of Christ, and what a perfect opportunity for extended conversation…
May the Lord continue to bless you in all your endeavors. I pray for you often,
Diane

Can I ask what tracts you chose to use? It has been placed on my heart to have some tracts by our front door to be able to hand out to various people as they stop by the house. It is such a blessing that you were able to go and share the love of Jesus with so many people. God Bless you.
