Support your Community (Lesson from a Reformed Mobster)

I recently received an email from Michael Frenzese, of the Colombo crime family. He is asking me to join his “crew”.

Apparently, this is a terminology which mobsters use.

When Michael walked away from his life of crime, it became difficult for him to work alone. He realized the importance of having a supportive community. He has since chosen to glean this positive element and use it to teach and motivate other businessmen and women, big corporations and even kids and church groups.

As he puts it, “There is always someone or something to turn to. That ‘something else’ that was as equally valuable to me in the mob, as it is today. Knowing you’ve got a group of people who have your back and want the best for you in any situation you find yourself in.”

Homeschool parents would most likely choose to be as far away from crime families as possible. But sometimes we forget the human element that exists across communities. Having supportive friends and families is extremely important!

There are so many resources today which were not available when I homeschooled in the 80’s and 90’s. I recommend using them.

“Ask and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)

Find the homeschoolers in your area. Learn where they gather. If you can find a homeschool curriculum share, that can be amazing. Or a homeschool yard sale. Maybe a church picnic. Parents and teachers can discuss their experiences, their likes and dislikes. They can even learn about other homeschool groups and activities from others who know.

So why not?

Find a homeschool crew and join in!
