New Stage of Life

Well I am down to homeschooling two children. This is a new stage for me. I haven't home schooled two for about 9 years. I have had some people ask if I am finding it easier. I have to say no for two reasons. The first is that both of the younger two have learning disabilities. So I spend more time going over things. Secondly the youngest is still in elementary. Which is when a lot of learning takes place. I find it a lot easier to home school high school. The kids are mainly independent learners when they reach high school. Another new stage in my life is we have finally joined a Co-Op. So far we are enjoying it. It gives us a break from the house. Plus it helps for the kids to play with others and for me to interact with mothers who are in the same boat I am in. Now I have to come up with what I want to do next year.

Heaven is for Real


I read a book called Heaven is for Real. This book was written by Todd Burpo. It is a book of a four year old little boy's experience with life after death. This book, for me, was hard to get into. I have read several books about life after death. As a Christian I know there is life after death. But I have a hard time reading about someone else's experience. This was a fast pace book. That kept my attention. So in that respect it was a good book. I would recommend this book to someone who is struggling with the issue of what happens when a person dies. I was not paid to read this book.
