As I type this on my iPhone, everyone else

in the RV is asleep. Yesterday was a long day. We left Des Moines, IA, drove 400 miles home where we stopped for three hours to reload, and then started the thousand mile trip to Orlando for the big FPEA convention. We’re super pumped because Dean Butler of Almanzo Wilder fame is going to be there. In fact, The Old Schoolhouse® is hosting a meet ‘n greet on Friday night of the conference, and if you’re in the neighborhood, you’re invited. Diana Waring and I will be there as well.

Now onto the topic of what to do after high school. Not to sound super spiritual here, but you should ask God. I know when we first started homeschooling, I was sort of anti-college. I had earned a Master’s degree and my wife had her Bachelor’s. In fact, everyone we knew had a college degree, but I knew there were better ways to be trained, that colleges were pricing themselves out of business, and that everything I learned in college wasn’t worth learning.

So I was against it. Then one day my spiritual wife said, “What if God wants our child to go to college? Why don’t we ask what He wants for each of our children?” That changed everything. Since then, the question for us hasn’t been college or no college, but what does God want for THIS child after high school.

You might want to ask HIM the same question and then be open to the answer. It might not be the same as your plan.

Be real,

Todd

P.S. First person to come to my table at the FPEA convention gets a cool You ‘da Dad cup.
