Real Life Homeschooling by Steve Lambert
boost⋅er shot- noun. A dose of an immunizing substance given to maintain or renew the effect of a previous one.
Does
your homeschool vision need a booster shot? Has the hard work of
teaching and parenting, the financial pressure of a difficult economy
and the criticism of friends and family members slowly clouded your
vision for homeschooling?
Congratulations; you're normal. If
homeschooling was easy and instantly gratifying- everyone would do it.
But it's not. It's hard work and like anything worth doing, there are
days when you wonder if it's worth it.
Heidi St. John is a
master at administering booster shots to weary homeschool parents whose
vision has become partly cloudy with a chance of apathy. She will renew
faltering strength and refocus blurry vision, reminding us all why we do this challenging task of homeschooling.
With
humor, wisdom and passion, Heidi will make you laugh and cry, but most
of all she'll make you thank God for the privilege of teaching,
nurturing and discipling your own children. If you need a booster shot
before school starts again, this is your chance. Renew the effect of
your original call to homeschooling by setting aside a few hours to get
the booster shot every homeschool parent needs from time to time.
Real
Life Homeschooling is a life preserver to anyone struggling to stay
afloat in a sea of bad parenting gone mad with selfishness and apathy.
Please don't miss it.
Because of Him,
Steve Lambert,
beloved speaker and author of the Five in a Row series, lives with his wife
Jane in Lees Summit, MO. The Lamberts are favorite speakers at homeschool
conferences and events across the country. We are privileged to glean
from their insight and experience, as they serve on the FCHM Executive Board of
Directors. Visit the FIAR

Blog Entry - July 10, 2009
The Family
 Hello!
This is Heidi ~ and I'd like to introduce you to a very special member of
our extended family. It seems fitting that Caylin would write to you
about all the "other" family members we have met as we have traveled
this amazing country we live in. She knows all about being adopted into
God's family! :D And just like being adopted by God amazes me, meeting
His people around the USA is heart-warming and encouraging too.
Caylin is 18 years old, and is a recent homeschool graduate. She is
the best friend of our daughter Savannah and has recently joined our
trip, flying into Louisville, KY. She will be with us for the remainder
of the trip. Thanks for keeping us all in your prayers!
And now ~ Caylin's first entry into the St. John FAMILY blog:
There
really is something about meeting people who are in the family of God.
Just a week ago I was on a plane to Louisville, Kentucky, when I sat
next to a humble lady named Jackie. As we conversed I could feel a
connection between us. This woman was filled with faith. We talked
about God for most of the course of the flight and I can remember
feeling the Spirit right there. It is an inexpressible warmth.
