A school and a Life like no Other.

May 30th, 2006 at 06:26 pm

Today I stopped by the local credit union and opened my CD account with $1000-I hope to put money away each year and in the future purchase a used car that someday I will need. It felt great to do something on my own.

Still very hot here. I think it is about 90. My son is home from school today with heat exhaustion fatigue. He worked out in the yard alot and at his grandmothers' house too. So I think he is very drained with a headache.

I had to stop at my children's school and drop off a bathing suit my daughter forgot for a birthday party she is going to after school today.
I dropped off the old balls I had cleaned out of the garage...the playground lady was thrilled to get such a stash! It is so nice to be able to give things away we can't use anymore.
Alot of our school is donated....as far as supplies, landscaping, whatever. Our school does not recive any gov't money. Most folks think it is not humanly possible to run a K-12 school with around 250 students and a full staff-not having any federal or state gov't funding whatsoever---We pay for it all on our own. It is most amazing. We have a brick three story buildng and brand new gym. The parents volunteer where they can. This also includes many grandparents and alumini. Our school is wonderful in that all families work together for the common good. We are spokes in the wheel....so to speak.
When there is a need...the school lets us know and somehow it gets filled. We do things our way and when we want to do them. We have liberty without being tied to others telling us how and which way to educate. Unusual-by today's standards!! WE are making a school of our own choice!

It is a wonderful way to run a school and a wondeful way to run our lives. To think ahead....like opening a bank account and actually saving some money for future needs. Yet not getting too far ahead of ourselves. Living simply one day at a time. Meeting the needs of others when we can, giving away time and energy to school or church or in our town. Not worrying about next week if we can.....we are human and prone to stress and worry. Taking each day as it comes.
I always tell my daughter to enjoy her day and take it as a gift. Tommorrow.....God willing- she will get another gift of a brand new day-

Living simply is a challenge at times....but it seems so worth it. I have seen the fruit of it at my children's school. Not being a slave to the lender is a good feeling. Liberty and freedom is a precious gift. I am challenged by thinking ahead, to be frugal and live more in a simple style. I am enjoying life --one day at a time. Some how these simple days get strung into an amazing necklace of time. Time moves quickly. I have had my share of wasted time. I regret that now. I believe in being faith-filled and having hope. I hope you are challenged as well.

    That’s the problem with education all along the planet. The governments do not realize what they have to do by giving money to the schools. Or they do know, but they like to have stupid subjects.
