I also appreciate your defense of my life work. I’ve heard many admiration-filled narratives of first-wave missionaries who persevere their entire lives for the sake of one convert, if even that. Sadly, home educators get judged for doing essentially the same thing.

Incidentally, my adult home-educated kids are far more publicly vocal about their faith in Jesus than I was prepared to be after surviving the public school chipper.

I hope God is using your comments to change your friend’s mind.
