Woo-hoo! My friend and co-author Elizabeth Foss is going to be a guest blogger at Faith & Family Live this week!

Come say hello.

We see others struggle, separated from the crowd and weak from their isolation. A mistake, for sure. They are attacked by the fierce predator who seeks their very soul. They cry out for help.

But unlike the buffalo, we don’t always run to their defense, charge the enemy, circle around and defend. Mend the wounds, help the fallen stand again. Restore the fallen. Be Christ.

Often, we’re more like lions. We turn predator when we see the weak. We attack each other, judge harshly, let jealousy reign. We turn on our own. We become mean people.

Read the whole thing at We Are That Family.

I am really looking forward to meeting up with a fabulous bunch of Texan homeschoolers in Houston at the ARCH Conference this coming weekend. I will be speaking there on Saturday, April 17:

What Happy Homeschoolers Know: 8 Ways to Thrive in Home Education

Hope I’ll see you there!
