Welcome

I don't want to make this an overly long post. I expect to be blogging for months and, perhaps, years to come on this subject. God willing, I will have plenty of time to develop themes and streams and rivers of concern that have plagued me for years. I imagine--indeed, I'm quite confident--that many of the issues I raise are of concern to others and, though not all, many of them will be of interest or concern to you.

I expect that some of my readers here will be very familiar with me. I am known in Evangelical Christian homeschooling circles because of my relationship to Sonlight Curriculum.

My wife and I founded the company 20-some years ago. I used to be the chief spokesperson for the company until I resigned from active, day-to-day participation. (That resignation occurred going on 3 years ago, now. (Wow!))

I still identify strongly with the larger homeschooling community, and I know that many Sonlighters "follow" me to one degree or another.

I also know that--or maybe I should say, I am confident that--a number of Sonlight detractors "follow" me as well, hoping to find something with which they may beat on Sonlight.

I don't know why others may be familiar with me. Twenty years ago I published a book called Dating With Integrity. It's still in print today. So you may have heard of me through that.

I was editor of Mission Frontiers magazine published by the US Center for World Mission for several years. I wrote a number of articles that gained fairly wide circulation.

But, overall--and I am writing this paragraph in anticipation of it being read two or three years in the future!--I expect the most likely reason someone will find this blog--the most likely reason you have found this blog!--is because they have (you have) Googled one of the topics we will have discussed within the blog itself.

I have decided to create this blog because it feels to me as if Christians are "not allowed" to ask the deepest questions.
