I was browsing some blogs (again) and I thought this post was so true and yet so applicable to my life, and no doubt, the life of many other homeschoolers…although it isn’t specifically about homeschooling at all.

Go check it out! And The Rock Was Christ posting ‘Things that matter’

It seems to me that there are lots of things that matter in life. But, sometimes one is faced – or confronted, with the brevity of life. Like when someone you know is suddenly taken from this life. Death, can come so quickly. It catches us, it takes by surprise. It leaves its deep shock in our spirit.

So then, what matters? Just having fun? Doing lots of good things? Having lots of friends? Laughter? Joy? Or, as the cynics, might say… nothing.
