The 184th Carnival of Homeschooling is up this week over at Henry Cate's Why Homeschool? Wendy and I have entries in it this week. Please feel free to poke around and read about various homeschooling viewpoints and experiences.
Prose, Politics and Piety is a running commentary on topics related to homeschooling, responsible government, personal finances and great reading...all viewed from an unapologetic Christian perspective.
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
Alan is a homeschooling father of three. He shares his vision with Wendy, his wife of twenty years. They want their children to know God and the truth found in His creation.
During the day, Alan is a Director for a large Fortune 50 business.
He is also president of Banyan Concepts — dedicated to meaningful, Christ-centered education, responsibility in personal finance, and seeking to learn and teach God’s truth. All opinions expressed are his own.

Some Quotes To Ponder...
"Patriotism is the wholesome, constructive love of one's land and people. Nationalism is the unhealthy love of one's government, accompanied by the aggressive desire to put down others - which becomes in deracinated modern men a substitute for religious faith. Patriotism is an appropriate, indeed necessary, sentiment for people who wish to preserve their freedom; nationalism is not."-- Clyde Wilson, The Yankee Problem in American History ...a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government...-- Thomas Jefferson
