Journey To Simplify-Part Five

I had heard about homeschooling on the radio a few years before when Dr. Raymond Moore was being interviewed by Dr. James Dobson on Focus on the Family. I knew that what he was saying was true. I inquired about it and was told that it wasn't possible(not true) and that I would go to jail (also not true, although there were people going to jail in other states). I then found a very small parochial school in the city that we eventually moved to, and enrolled my children. They went there for two years and, unfortunately, there wasn't much difference between it and the public schools. I met a woman who was homeschooling at the same time that I was trying to remember what our dreams had been, and God moved in a mighty way for us, and we began homeschooling. The vision that we had had for our family in the beginning was coming back.
At the same time, the electric power plant that Jack had worked at for over ten years announced that it was going to close. It would take a while to shut it down, but their hours would be shortened right away. We heard from a relative about someone that had a house in the country that we could fix up for rent-with-an- option-to-buy and we decided to go for it.
