current projects & important updates…
Over the last few weeks I’ve been asked many times about my current projects and important updates. I thought I’d write a blog post and update everyone at once. Writing Projects: This coming week, I will be finishing the rough draft for The World’s Story 3. I am so excited for this project! I will be finishing up work on the Teacher Guide/Student Journal right after Christmas break. I have also been working on (with the help of my pilot program) an all-new Bible study project called The Young Warrior in the Mirror. The pilot program and the completion of the rough draft is scheduled to be completed May 2019, so…

A tough old marine & his little girl
People have often asked me why I do what I do…why I have such a passion to help families give their children an education (built on relationship) at home. The answer to that is tightly woven and wound around strands of silky threads of memory – strands so fragile, like a spider’s webbing. These memories, laced and interwoven, are the tough-as-steel-cable foundation of who I am and how I look at the world. They are where my dad lives. It’s amazing to me how forgiving a child can be…my dad wasn’t perfect – in fact, on his deathbed, he poured out his anguish of regrets and sorrow for the mistakes…

the joy of choice
“Are you taking PSEO classes – you know you don’t want to miss out on FREE college! What are your plans? Where are you going to go to college? What are you going to do with the rest of your life? What? You don’t know? Oh well, you can have the year after you graduate to figure it all out.” I can feel her angst – the barrage of questions stripping her of her usual mature composure. I want to stuff a sock in the questioning mouth. Instead I wink at her and bite my tongue…besides, they’re well meaning, I remind myself. “It’s okay, kiddo,” I send the message with my eyes.…

FAQ! What Makes Math Lessons for a Living Education different?
When Master Books began releasing their newly updated editions of the Math Lessons for a Living Education series, the questions started pouring in.
