I'm trying to get a school application filled out and dropped off by tomorrow. Name? Address? Other bits of personal info? No problem. It's the second, third, and fourth pages that are bogging me down.
In my daily life, I just don't spend time thinking about academic philosophy. If I am able to spend some time reading scripture or praying, that's a great day spiritually speaking -- pondering theology is beyond the reach of my day-to-day brain power. I know the value of stepping back to take a more objective look at how Grace and Miles are doing and what we might need to be working on with them, but glory be if I actually do it more than once every month or two. So yeah, answering questions about the value of homework, the importance of reading, the role of parents in education, Calvinism vs Armenianism, the sovereignty of God, church involvement, Grace's academic and character strengths and weaknesses, and why we want her to attend their school? Too much thinking for me right now.
Thankfully, I'm married to a good thinker. Vic and I will attack the application tonight and hopefully it will represent us as a family, and Grace as a student, well.
