The evil in our desires often lies not in what we want but in the fact that we want it too much. Natural affections (for any good thing) become inordinate, ruling cravings. We are meant to be ruled by godly passions and desires. Natural desires for good things are meant to exist subordinate to our desire to please the Giver of gifts. Grasping that the evil lies in the ruling status of the desire, not the object, is frequently a turning point in self-understanding, in seeing the need for Christ’s mercies, and in changing.

Dear friends,
 
In response to yesterday's Hope Chest article on excellence in home schooling (which has been expanded on my blog at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/VirginiaKnowles), Cheryl Denny sent in the link to a segment that PBS just did on home schooling.  You can read the transcript and watch the streaming video here:  http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week1020/cover.html
 
One of the home school dads interviewed for this program was Dr. Bruce Shortt.  You can read his article, "Homeschool Regulation: The Revenge of the Failures," at this link: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53622
 
And finally, if you are into reading the research, my second cousin Margaret Kane in NC sent me the following link for a "Bibliography of Scholarly Research on Home Schooling" compiled by Nels Tomlinson (please note the disclaimer on his page, and then scroll way down for the links): http://www.geocities.com/nelstomlinson/research.bibliography.html 
 
Thanks, Cheryl and Margaret!   Keep the great information rolling, everyone!
 
Yours for fantastic home education,
 
Virginia Knowles
