Dave and I think this is a prime example of homeschoolers pursuing their passion -and- the difference you can make in the world is not limited by your gender, profession or AGE. CHILDREN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
If you forward on to family and friends, PLEASE do not reference her first name for privacy and security reasons.
The lyrics she wrote are below:
On that day, when the angel came to Mary
Heaven rejoiced,
“You’re to have a child,
You’re to help Him through trials
And God will put His life right in your hands.”
On that day when Jesus was born into a stable
God shared His light,
He made birth a gift,
This baby brought life
Through Christ He turned the darkness into light…
(Refrain)
You were there, You were there
You were watching over them
As You sat on Your throne,
You sent Christ so we’re not alone.
On that day, when my mama’s mom tried to abort her,
God was there,
Through His grace she was spared,
She found those who would care,
His gift of love is why I am alive.
You were there, You were there,
You were watching over us.
By Your grace we were born,
And my daddy’s not alone.
On that day, when abortion became legal,
All heaven cried
‘Cause a baby’s a gift,
And killing’s not right
And though they die they have eternal life.
You are there, You are there
The uncared for are cared for now,
As You sit on Your throne,
You will hold the child alone.
(Bridge)
When life’s hopeless and we can’t bear,
We know that you’re always there,
Watching over us.
Through abortion they cannot share
The gift of life, the gift of love
That comes from God alone.
It’s just unthinkable, incomprehensible,
That such a mistake would be made,
As to take the life of an unborn child,
A gift of God’s own grace.
You are there, You are there
You are watching over us.
Lord we pray, give us strength,
Help us know we’re not alone…
You are there, always there
Help us feel Your presence, Lord.
Give us faith, to choose life,
Help us know we’re not alone…
…You are there

Educational Choice & National Standards
Thank you Mark Souder!!
I was thrilled to read this article in which Mr. Souder was the voice of reason in defending my rights to educate my children in the manner in which God has called us. He has been so reasonable to look to ALL of his constiuency and preserving what is in their best interest. What we have in Indiana is true freedom of educational choice and I'd like it to stay that way! Thank you Mark Souder!!

Happy B-day, Ds#3!
A man of simple pleasures. Have a party with one other family. Order pizza and have icecream cups. 
Ride bikes at their house (down the block from us) and watch 'Night at the Museum' (that they own. One family of 5 kids (us) + one family of 6 kids (them) makes for a full family room --- and we hardly heard a sound. Honest.

A "just because" present
My dear friend *Patrice* bought me a present. A just-because-I-love-you and I-knew-you'd-like-this present. A book. I book I already own. Normally, I wouldn't be so excited about getting a book I already own. She went to the Cinci Homeschool Conference and brought me a 
signed copy of Susan Wise Bauer's The Well Trained Mind 3rd Edition. It's not even available on Amazon, yet!
signed copy of Susan Wise Bauer's The Well Trained Mind 3rd Edition. It's not even available on Amazon, yet! I would NEVER swing the bucks for a book I already own, but I'm SOOOO EXCITED to get the updated version!!
I was so excited that I kept walking around the house cleaning so I can get my work done and hurry up and read it.
I was so excited I kept telling each of my children, "I'm soooo excited!!" Dears that they are, Dd#2 got tired of hearing about my excitement and suggested I just blog about it and get the out the excitement out that was bubbling over. GREAT IDEA!!
I'm soo excited. Do you think the girls at book club will feel unloved if I stay home to read a non-book club book?
