More Journeys

Good Morning!

As I am writing about the journeys of life on this blog, I wanted to put up a link to a post I made on Dog Days. Click here for link

I just wrote about a current journey we are on. To me, this ties in. It is real life. It is in essense why I am homeschooling. It supercedes the 'knowledge' we find ourselves in search of, because it is about relationships and relating to each other and God.

Oh, I know there must a word for this.. English majors, help me out. My blog post is about a journey- a journey of discovering ourselves as a family, our faith.. and also a potential physical journey to another city. Wow! What is the word for that multiple meaning? Or maybe there isn't one.

But, this does put the Knowledge Party in perspective for me. Reading the condensed bio of C.S. Lewis in Dr. Markos' book, I see, too, his relationship with knowledge and his relationship with people. Lewis lacked a stable family. He in essense turned to cool, hard facts and atheism. His journey is facinating, seeing the intertwining of knowledge and relationships throughout his life. And, as Dr. Markos pointed out, Lewis was one of the first apologetics to feed the mind and heart of his readers. He knew the link and the need for both to be nourished.

My feet are really itching. You will have to check the link above to find out why. :) How's that for a teaser?

God Bless,
Cindy

About Us

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
