Welcome from Karen

Although any family’s history is subject to faulty  memory, incomplete data, and revisionist thinking, my desire is to  encourage all who visit this site to realize that amazing relationships can  spring out of following God’s calling. And if you gather little bits of  wisdom and insight in the process, even better. In the attempt to  chronicle the heritage handed down to me, I hope to show how each member  of our family boldly fought against the common culture to make a  difference in our lives, both now and eternally.

The Call to Revolutionary Thinking

In the early 1980s, families across America  were hearing the same call to a revolutionary way of thinking—a radical  re-invention of how families operate—and a call to self-sacrifice. In  sharing my family history, I hope to show how God prepared us for just  such a time.

Homeschooling Through Trial and Error

Most every worthwhile homeschool experience  develops through trial and error. There is no “one size fits all”  formula to guarantee success. But there are certain elements which  should be included in every home education process.
