Levels of "Doneness"

As a husband, father, homeowner, homeschooler, gardener, homesteader, DIY'er, I can tell you (as if you don't already know), there's many levels of "Doneness". By that I mean the myriad of projects that crop up around the home...there's "Done" as in "this project is completely Done with-a-capital-"D" and I won't have to touch it ever again, or...at least until it needs repair again"...and then there's "done" (note the lowercase "d")..also called "done enough"...as in...there's still some stuff that needs to get wrapped up with this project, but it's taken twice as much time and has cost twice as much money as I thought and even though there's some loose ends to tie up, I'm happy enough to call this project "done" and focus on some other stuff for now...I'll get back to wrapping this up soon enough"...If you fall into 2 or more categories that I mentioned in my first sentence then....you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm gonna call our home schooling classroom (or "schoolroom" as my wife is training me to call it :^) as "done" with a lowercase "d". There's still some minor loose ends to tie up, but we're at a place where we are moving furniture and resources in. Please allow me, for my own pleasure, to offer a photographic "before and after":

I've reread through several of my past blogs and I've noticed a trend...right about the last paragraph or so I usually start it off with a sentence like "I'm so blessed that..." and today would be no exception:
I'm so blessed that The Lord has given us the vision and conviction to take the education and training of our children away from the secular public and put it back in our own hands. I'm grateful that He's awakened us and shown Chrissy and I the Biblical Models for parents being the chief educators of their children. I'm blessed to have the financial resources and frugal nature to be able to afford to have my wife at home with our children. I'm blessed to have a father who has the knowledge and willingness to work so hard to help me put this Schoolroom together for my children, and a mother who supports him (and us) so beautifully. I guess....if I can get cheesy or fundamental enough...that I'm just blessed to have children to train up.

Here's to the next generation.
