Family Description: Diane and I have been married for 22 years and have been through a lot of good and bad times. We both got married as Christians and are committed to our marriage. We have home schooled since 1986. We started Jonathan in Kindergarten in 1987 and haven't looked back. Homeschooling has been wonderful and challenging, all at the same time. However, our support group CHEO/CHESCA has helped us tremendously over the years. The CHESCA culture has given us so many lifetime friendships that we cannot begin to tell just what it means to us. I was out of work and the support group found out and delivered food to us. It's been things, such as that, that have cultivated many great memories over the years. As our family continues to get nurtured by the homeschool community, we try to give back by being leaders. Our challenge is to prepare our own children and aim them as arrows for the Lord to send out as He wills. We currently serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Christian Home Educators Stark County Association. |
