Well, sort of.
We were able to escape to Phili this evening with our friends for dinner and to see the play, “The Screwtape Letters”. C.S. Lewis was and still is such an amazing writer. He really knows how to make you stop and reflect and ask those tough questions while trying to answer them.
Homeschooling consumes me: physically, emotionally, spiritually. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing. Most of the time I feel somewhat balanced, and thankfully my husband and I are on the same wave-length. He gets it, and my nuttiness.
But, I feel like more recently I’ve been asking myself, “What’s the point of all of this crazy absorption of homeschooling? Is it worth it, and if so, why?” Maybe it’s my middle age talking, maybe it was sitting through that play tonight, I don’t know. Society is so into the rat race, and I will bundle myself into that. But, if I step back from it all, from all of the busyness and pressure and whatever, then time itself for us looks very brief so what’s after this? My human mind cannot comprehend the afterlife.
I look forward to discussing these deeper subjects with my kids as they get older. As I look ahead to next year and the years after that of homeschooling them, I’m excited to see where this journey takes us. Maybe missionary work, maybe starting our own business, maybe we’ll all learn how to cook! Regardless, I hope I impart to them what are really the most important things about this temporary life.
Well, it’s 2 a.m.-my bedtime..
