Mouring the loss of homeschool pioneer Debbie Strayer

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Debbie Strayer on Saturday night. She was the co-author of the popular Learning Language Arts through Literature (which I used when I homeschooled my daughters).

Debbie was speaking at a homeschool convention in Alabama and traveling with her husband.

I think I first met Debbie a few years ago when we served on a homeschool panel together at a homeschool convention. We were asked to offer advice to homeschool leaders.

Later, I’d stop by her booth at homeschool conventions and she always had something positive and encouraging to say. She was one of those women that oozed wisdom. It came from her heart and through her words.

I hope I can be more like her and not take any day the Lord gives us for granted.
