We agree with your first point and not with your second! Lots packed into those last three sentences! We'll address it all next week. Thanks for commenting!

Really enjoyed this week’s podcast and sharing it with my kids who are reading America on Trial right now. You asked for possible questions for a Q and A episode and I have two—What are alternatives to the college path for young women are believe they are called to marriage and do not desire a career? What are your suggestions for helping single young adults find a spouse? Thanks!

I have two topics (was going to write “questions” but this is way more than two):

1) Old house living. Have you always wanted to live in an old house? Is it pretty common in the New England area? What are your favorite parts about it? Do you have any regrets? Can those of us who live in post-1950s homes ever dream of attaining a similar loveliness, or should we abandon that hope?

2) What was it like to home school before the more “mainstream” homeschooling boom of the 2010s (but especially in 2020 and after)?

Thank you! Perhaps you will not answer all of these, and I would not blame you! Too many questions! :)

Questions!

1) What gifts can adult grandchildren give to their grandparents, especially when long distance?

2) Do you Lawlers have favorite read aloud books for Advent and Christmas? Do they change with the age of the family (kids under six, kids under teens, majority teens, empty nest)?

3) How have your children met their spouses? What can parents do to help their children find good people to marry, remotely and proximately? (My kids are currently young, but I know they won't stay young forever!)

Would love to hear about how you complimented each other in raising your children, and thoughts on raising boys/raising girls. Also, as a follow-up to this podcast, what are your thoughts on revolution? The French revolution, Mexican revolution, and protestant revolution are frequently discussed as having done damage to the people, country, morals, and Church, but what about the American revolution?
