Hello from Sheboygan, Wisconsin!
by heidi st. john

Jay & HeidiThe past several days have been a whirlwind of ministry activity... a marriage conference in Michigan and a few more homeschool workshops.  We have so much to share - but before we do, I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful young man and a recent homeschool graduate - Trevor Uptain! 

Trevor has been part of FCHM since it's beginning nearly ten years ago in Mount Vernon, Washington.  In fact, he was a student in Jay's very first FCHM web design class and now, he is designing websites for others!    We think a lot of Trevor and as you will see in a moment, he has quite a gift for writing and he loves the Lord deeply.

We had the privilege of hosting Trevor for about three weeks this summer on our trip.  I asked him if he would write for our blog and give us his perspective.  Both Jay and I were impressed and encouraged by what he wrote.  I know you will be, too.  (Trevors blog entry is below.)

Thanks for traveling with us, Trevor!  It was encouraging to see God at work in your life ... and we look forward to what He is going to do in and through you in the future as you follow Him! 

Because of Him,
siggy

fchm logoWriting about your experiences on a historic tour of the United States is much like trying to explain a new color to someone who's never seen it. Where do you start? What do you compare it to?

I've written hundreds of thousands of words over the past few years, but very few of those words have eluded me as much as those trying to describe the feeling you get when you walk through a Revolutionary War battlefield or touch a gravestone from the 17th century. The more you see and experience the rich history of America, the more deeply you come to appreciate the men and women who sacrificed so much of their lives for our freedom - and to appreciate the God they allowed to mold their own lives and the destiny of our nation.
