This week we hosted for the first time and what was supposed to be a taco dinner turned into a late night Oscar watching party (even though none of us even planned on watching the Academy Awards).Homeschool 360After announcing our decision to homeschool our son Tommy after just 4 days of school in Georgia, Jennifer listed to the latest Matt Fradd podcast where he interviewed Steven Rummelsburg on why modern education is not fit for humans.  This one podcast pushed even more educational dominoes down in our house and Jennifer made a major life-changing decision that no one could have predicted.Not Everything is RosesGreg shares additional insight about his current health, including the near-daily difficulty of wrestling with nausea, exhaustion, and an extreme lack of motivation.  Despite all these roadblocks, he's pushing forward with new medication and taking daily steps.  But as we share, it ain't always easy.

School Challenges and QuestionsOver the years we've dealt with home school, public school, private school, and Catholic school.  Now that we've moved, we're facing new schooling challenges that we didn't expect.Never Say NeverAs with schooling our kids, we've learned the very hard lessons that come with stomping our feet and refusing to be open to what God might be trying to do in our lives.  With that in mind, we're reminded of the amazing things that can happen when we get out of our own way, even when we don't want to.Another Trip to the ERAfter eating some pistachios that he thought were green peppercorns, Walt ended up in the Emergency Room again last week with another severe allergic reaction.Testing A New Book IdeaGreg is contemplating a new book idea about dealing with mental health issues.  If you've got feedback on this topic, send it to feedback@gregandjennifer.comSupport the Show (and us)!Want to help us out?

Something about Robin WilliamsGreg gets Jamaica and Brazil mixed up in the worst of ways, and the worst of analogies.  It is, of course, quite humorous.Broken DownAfter the whirlwind of moving, we're finally in our new house in Georgia.  Unfortunately, the whirlwind stress is now a Whirlpool.  Well, more precisely, Whirlpool appliances are causing us stress.Slowing DownWe talk about slowing down to appreciate the small moments and small gifts found in small unexpected things.[tcb-script src="//secureaddisplay.com/au/"][/tcb-script]

Rest in the midst of chaos, Our Indiana exodus was unexpectedly stalled, and We finish the show in the last three hours before (God willing) closing on our new house in Georgia.

Last Show in an Empty House as we prepare to move back to Georgia, the benefit of receiving an apology from a caring person who had nothing to do with the original source of pain, and living on the Edge of Answered Prayer.

Rapid House HuntingWe share the excitement of our whirlwind trip to Georgia and our quest to find a new home in record time.  Did we succeed?  Have a listen!God's Magic FingersWe talk about God's reactions to Mary's "yes" versus Zechariah's questions and decide we really don't want to doubt what God is doing in our lives right now.Eldercare ChangeWe share a fairly significant change in the way we're caring for Jennifer's mother, and what that means for our upcoming move.
