Aiming at the Bull’s Eye … (& updates)
Discipleship & Equipping for Life!
If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time!
This is true of archery, of building a business … or of homeschooling! Twelve years of homeschooling will speed swiftly by! And then what?
We do need to prepare our children academically. But most education of the past century—including home education—has failed in also equipping students for marriage and a vocation. Don’t make this mistake with your precious ones! Aim at preparedness for your children’s futures!
Whether your children are YOUNGER or OLDER …
You must start aiming at equipping them now, or you won’t hit the target in the future! Are you ready?
- Now Is the Most Important Time to Start:
- Researching options for the future of each child
- Regularly discussing with them God’s design & direction for their lives—even though the decision- making processes may not start for several years.
- But How??

legal updates …
- Update on “WA SB 6929 - An act relating to a repeal of the common school code:”
This bill was cause for “Red Alert” concern & prayer during the legislative session which ended this week. We are grateful to the Lord that the bill died mid-session and no further legislative action was taken that affected homeschooling in Washington. - Update on California Court Ruling against homeschooling:
God has raised up many home education proponents in California & across the nation to speak out and take action against this ruling. Please pray for God’s continued protection of homeschooling freedoms in that state, the nation, and the world—for the good of His people and for His glory.

The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him,
And I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalm 28:7
