An Ambitious Millennial

There are an awful lot of news stories out there about the arrested development of today’s young people. This one about the top 20 stressful events in the lives of millennials was particularly bleak. (Spoiler: Most of the list had to do with their phones or social media.)

Then you read about an enterprising young man who heard that Seattle was struggling after being hit with a foot of snow, drove there with his truck and plow, and worked almost around the clock for four days, earning $35,000 in the process. He’ll be tithing 20% of his earnings, and plans to spend the rest on his business and a future house of his own.

So there is hope for at least some of this generation.

A Funny Site

Some are calling it the Christian “Onion,” because The Babylon Bee specializes in Christian satire, something I’ve never heard of before. But it’s humor is clean and makes me smile, which qualifies it to join the list of websites that I visit each day.

Good humor always involves truth, even if it’s exaggerated. For instance, I suspect some of my fellow homeschoolers will chuckle at this post, as I did.

So if you’re looking for a laugh without stumbling onto anything NSFW, check out The Babylon Bee. But be warned, those of you addicted to social media or to your cat may not be as amused as I have been by some of the posts. 😉

Life Prep (Third Edition) Now Available as EBook

My first book, the homeschool curriculum Life Prep for Homeschooled Teenagers, still sells after 15 years and three editions, but it’s always been a print book. Now I’m excited to announce that the expanded third edition of Life Prep just became available in EBook form.

This new eBook version is a “print replica,” which means it looks exactly the same inside as the recently expanded print version does. So it includes every single feature that the print version has. Of course, you can still buy the print version if that’s what you prefer. (If I were still homeschooling, that’s what I would prefer.) But many people like the convenience (and lack of clutter) that you get when you buy eBooks instead of print books.

The print version costs $24.95, and the eBook version costs $9.99, so there’s some significant savings if you choose the eBook version.

In either case, preparing your homeschooled teen for life on their own is an essential task, and one that Life Prep for Homeschooled Teenagers will do, over the course of 1-4 semesters, depending on just how much preparation you want to offer to your teen.
