Higher Standards

The Lord is drawing us to higher standards in our educational choices for our children. Basically, if it is not from a Christian source, it is not for us. Yes, that even means no National geographic or other educational dvds from the library. This is kinda hard as you can imagine; we depended on the library for a lot of our resources. We haven’t completely weaned off from the library yet, and sometimes we bend our own rule- but we are trying. There are still a few decent selections (diamonds in the rough )there, but they are getting increasingly harder to find and all the junk one has to wade through to find them! There are so many great Christian based resources/curriculum out there (not free of course) we need not worry about not getting great educational material. This new standard is forcing us to invest more money into the really good stuff out there, which is a good thing. The kids are excited to each get to choose some new, dvd, game, book, manipulative, or science kit each month. Dad and I are excited too! First on our list will be Diana Warings Ancient Civilizations package.
