Just Among Friends Column

by Tim Friend

This is an archive of the Just Among Friends column that appears in the HSB Connections printed newsletter each month.

Tim & Deb Friend are a local West Michigan homeschooling family who have graduated their first son and are homeschooling their two other children. HSB proudly presents this column, which features the joy of family learning and adventure. Our prayer is that all of us will have that joy birthed anew as we enjoy the adventures of these "Friends". Feel free to visit their family web site at www.friend-family.net.
