I am proud to have known you personally, and even proud to call you not only friend, but consider you family as well. May God Bless you in all of your endeavors. You are truly his servant and have found your calling in everything you do. Never change. We love you, Mikki, Clell and Stephanie Breining

Please enter me into the drawing. I just started the “home school journey” with my kids last year and am always trying to “pick the brains” of the older home schooled kids. I’d love to read your book.
August 5, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I have been somewhat skeptical about homeschooling because of the unknown however I believe that your book maybe able to offer perspective into the situation because you write from your experiences.
August 6, 2009 at 2:32 am
You’re such an inspiration to us. Thank you for sharing your story and showing us that amazing things can be done.
August 6, 2009 at 3:18 pm
