I feel like there is so much coming... big, big stuff, in less than a month or two. And its coming from so many places and so many angles. I don't know how much to prepare or if I'm missing something that I need to do yet. I'm not sending my high school daughter back to commie school, but homeschool is out of the question so I'm not sure what to do with her.. back to virtual? She hates high school anyway and has a new job doing CNA type stuff, which she loves. My other kids are young adults. I send them info and answer their questions when asked, but they are typical young adults who just want to live life and still look at us awkwardly like we're conspiracy theorists. They know not to get the jab.. but there's so much more, right? Even our church family is pretty much clueless.... or maybe they're not??? I don't know who knows what, or who to trust! I feel like we are a privileged group holding a secret that no one will understand if we tell them. I know God is in Control... but still am concerned about the incoming communication blackout, economic collapse, likely panic that will ensue, etc... I'm not a doomer and, by nature, not a big worrier, but I'm starting to get nervous on what's coming down the pike. I feel like we're in the part in the thriller movie where you know there is something terrifying about to scare the hell out of you and you just grab onto the person next to you, digging your nails into their arm and hanging on tight, but loving the movie all the same! Anybody else feeling this???? It's kind of surreal.

I feel you. One of the most calming things to me is gardening. It makes me feel I'm creating food for the future and is a great meditation and connection to the Creator. I'd like to reassure you about educating your children in an unorthodox way. I home-schooled when people thought you were a dangerous kook for doing so. I met fierce resistance. I didn't do it for religious reasons, I did it because I noticed terrible gaps in the curriculum and that the teachers were gearing their momentum based on the slowest kids in the class which leads to social problems among the brighter ones who are bored senseless. My kids turned out well and one has advanced degrees. Just focus on classical education from the past and encourage reading of fine literature, Latin, maths, actual history, and building skills for them depending on their interests. Mix it in with things that teach them patience, communication skills, and fairness, like a sport they enjoy or learning an instrument, or both. They won't suffer from not being in school.
