My daug...Thanks Mel, for your comment and concern. My daughter is very strong in the Lord, Blblical truth and apologetics. I would never send her to a secular college if I was unsure of her solid Christian faith and values. I think it really depends on the child, but I also have a strong conviction about taking out tens of thousands of college loans to fund Christian colleges that are 2-3 times more expensive. I went to a Christian University and loved it but there was plenty of "partying" going on there and many luke-warm Christians. My daughter feels that her school is a mission field for her as well and really had no desire to attend a Christian college after being homeschooled and then attending a Christian high school. My oldest son is a senior at a large secular university and while it has been a battle, he has in no way lost his Christian faith or religious upbringing. My second son attends a small Christian college. He really wanted to attend this school and will probably go to seminary after college so it was a good fit for him. Like I said before, I think it really depends on the child and how strong they are spiritually and what they plan on doing after college, not to mention whether the child will be going into debt to pay for the "Christian" education.

I plan on having 6+ kids after I complete dental school. This blog is wonderful in that I can see what may potentially happen with my future family.<br /><br />Melhttp://twitter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987615832856969551.post-16883794156432738622012-08-21T13:25:28.333-07:002012-08-21T13:25:28.333-07:00My daughter is 8, and we already have a special re...My daughter is 8, and we already have a special relationship.

She is now 21 and no longer dating the same young man. She is back to being my speccial girl. I am so happy again. I pray that she finds the man that allows her to be herself and doesn't try to change her. I hope you never have that kind of rough patch with your daughter(s). Your family is beautiful!Neenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169665137526513607noreply@blogger.com
