Leading Your Homeschool Family
Marlin Detweiler
Opening the World
Up to Your Family
When I was younger and expected to learn geog- raphy, I found the task ratherlaborious. It wasn’t
that the work was hard; it’s just that it
had little context. I grew up in Lancast-
er, Pennsylvania, and my family’s travel
was fairly limited. I enjoyed the annual
trips west on the Pennsylvania Turnpike
through Ohio and Indiana, finally land-
ing in a little town outside Iowa City to
visit my mother’s parents. Staying on the
farm, using an outhouse in the middle
of the night, and sneaking a taste from
the cows’ salt lick are fond memories that
will remain with me. To be sure, there
were other trips, too, yet my childhood
provided a fairly limited exposure to the
world God has created.
1. The Bible is relevant to all
people, in all places, at all times.
Wherever we find ourselves and with
whomever we are in communication,
we can always know that God’s Word is
faithful and true. It is a common ground
that we share with other believers everywhere. The Lordship of Jesus Christ
