I'm so embarrassed to confess that I got so far behind my SDS, I felt too overwhelmed to catch up. But confession is good for the soul. Now to move on...

I appreciate all that Bren is doing and I hope to return to the notes and personal study when I can make the time.  Thank you, Bren. God bless your efforts and encouragment.

Meanwhile, I've decided to study GACE (A Guide to American Christian Education) with the rest of the BPA moms instead. Thank you Anna-Marie and Lisa H. for starting this yahoo study group.

Why have I made this switch? Firstly, I just am ONE lesson behind and secondly, I'm more familiar with GACE on the whole, having gone through it (albeit perfunctorily) several months ago. I find it also more 'friendly' for a newbie like myself.

This summer is getting to be so cluttered, I hope I can at least keep up with this. Having examined so many curricula the past five years, the Principle Approach remains the one I feel very strongly drawn to.

Now to catch up on Lesson One and then proceed to Lesson Two as well. Please say a prayer for me that I'll persever. Thank you!
