As I write this second blog I can’t believe two weeks have gone by and I have started my third week already. Last week was more relaxing since I did not travel or do any work outside like I did at my parents house. Instead, I started my Bible study, continued reading my devotional book, and learned a lot about homeschooling.
First about my Bible study that I am doing. We had purchased this years ago for my wife to go in a group Bible study from our church back when we lived in Keller, TX. I stayed at home watching our kids so my wife could attend and now I have the opportunity to go through it. My wife Lindsey and I are doing this study together and we are doing two sessions a day which is two chapters a day. With no interruptions, we are averaging 1.5-2.0 hours to complete 2 sessions per day. I will have to admit that I am really appreciative of religious scholars and leaders who have taken time to put together study guides to give you the meaning of what you read. If you’re like me, I need all the help I can get!
Sorry for the sideways picture but I tried and tried to rotate it and the system won’t have it!
As for my continuation of “The book of Mysteries” I like the most so far the mission of the day that he gives. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the content his teacher gives the author and I think about that as well. But, for some reason I really like the mission that is at the end of each page.
As for home school, man, my wife keeps my three kids jammed packed everyday. A typical day goes like this: Breakfast, a few hours of school work, take kids to a place called Studio One (more on this later), come home eat lunch, more school work, back to Studio One, back home and finish remaining school work. I helped out where I could last week and I will do the same for week three when I am not working at Loaves and Fishes for my service project.
Studio One on 7th Street is place that is mainly for homeschoolers, but all is welcome. She does different activities for all different age groups throughout the day and week. Besides the basics, my daughter takes babysitting class, and photography. My son takes Wild Kratts class and chess club.
