“There are moments for sorrow and there are moments for rage. Both, born from grief. Sorrow is long-lasting. It can become a companion if you let it. A stray cat who refuses to leave for side. There will be a time for sorrow, as sorrow, like a cat, has many lives. Rage is brief. It ravages the body like house fire, consuming and powerful. This-this-is the time for rage.”

“I'm enjoying being on this earth. I'm grateful, and my gratitude makes me joyful. And that is the truth. I get up that way.”

“Homeschooling can be a greenhouse that allows your child to grow into the very best version of himself. His wardrobe choices never have to be influenced by the “popular” kids. He may ask questions and discuss topics in an anxiety-free environment without fear of violence, bullying, or teasing. He can develop selfconfidence and independence without ever having to learn under the weight of peer pressure. He’ll never have to experience the stress of premature parent/child separation that some children experience at age five and can be encouraged to hold onto childlike innocence and silliness without being forced to mature faster than necessary. Other kids will not help your child grow to be a self-assured adult comfortable in his own social skin. Only adults can do that.”

“The church is justified, not because her children do not sin, but because they do.”
