Preparation — Seeking Wisdom

This whole thing started last year when I said to John, my youngest son, “How would you like to study history where history happened ?” He said, “sure,” but later balked at taking an entire school year away from friends and family (friends mostly). Fast forward to a summertime decision to step down from company leadership, and voila, we have travel school planned for 77 days in 8 countries. All logistics are squared away except the last country (Greece). The curriculum outline is complete, I have read 3 of the 9 books and studied the pre algebra chapters. I desperately need to complete preparation for music theory and mathematics of navigation. OK- I admit it, those are two subjects I want us to study !! (download curriculum here)

The principal and the teachers are supportive, the family is sort of on board...and I think that planning this adventure saved me from the fate of boredom and restlessness between knowing that it is time for me to leave the company, yet not knowing what my next calling is. There are things that I want to teach John, there are things I want him to discover for himself and things I want us to learn together! Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding...Proverbs 4:7). And Don't Panic !
