Homeschoolers Coming Together

Last week I posted about the current legal situation in California that could very well make homeschooling illegal here. If you missed that post, I encourage you to read it and if you feel led and haven't done so yet, please sign the petition.

So, far the situation is still up in the air and we await the results of several legal avenues being taken to keep homeschooling legal here. Please keep praying and consider some options for making known how you stand, listed here.

Crystal and her husband Jesse have taken up the banner in encouraging homeschoolers all across our country to stand for parent's rights and what they believe is their right and duty as Christians. Please join in doing what you can. I believe prayer is the strongest weapon we have...what can man do? May God work in this situation and cause the foolishness of the judges to be seen and cause the men and women working to keep our freedoms to have wisdom and right words! If you can do more and are willing, please do! Thank you to all those joining in this fight.

Blessings,

Homeschooling in California in Danger!

California has been known as one of the easiest states to homeschool in. But it is a tension filled freedom. And now we find ourselves very much on the verge of having that freedom taken away!

My husband, Dan, wrote a brief post regarding a recent ruling in a court case that has virtually made homeschooling illegal here in California. If you have time, you may want to take a look at this post and the link included in it, if you haven't already read about this.

So, now I am appealing to all of you my dear friends, if you feel led to do so, please sign the petition that HSLDA is sending around. If they are successful, they can get this ruling depublished and make it so that we can homeschool here in freedom. If nothing else, and this should be happening first off, please pray.

You can help stop this threat to homeschooling by signing an online petition to depublish the Court of Appeal opinion at http://hslda. org/elink. asp?ID=4831

Thank you to anyone that feels led to sign and pray!

Blessings,

It's A Girl...

Before I head to bed, I just wanted to let you all know that Crystal has had a baby girl! She sounds like she is doing well and so is Crystal. I hope you will check out her blog and get more info from her there. She has updated us all on how things have gone. I am praising the Lord right now for answered prayer.

Thank you to anyone that may have joined me in lifting her up in prayer the last couple of days. It has been heard!

Blessings,
Sommer

Baby Paine Has Arrived!!!

Yes, I know this isn't my baby...but I am so excited! Crystal has delivered her baby and now we are just awaiting updates on her and the baby's condition. I don't know the gender, but the Lord has been faithful throughout the day. Thank you for praying!

Crystal is requesting that we continue to pray for her recovery. Please, will you join me in this?

Blessings,
Sommer

Please join me in prayer...

My dear readers, I'm asking you to join me in lifting Crystal from Biblical Womanhood Online up in prayer throughout today(and perhaps the next few days). If you read her blog at all, you will have followed that she has been having some difficulties with her pregnancy recently. Because of this she is going in today to be induced. Please go to her blog for more details. I hope you will join me in this and I will try to keep you all updated as I hear what is going on.

Lord, please wrap Crystal in your arms of peace and bring wisdom to her midwife and doctors. May her body and child be kept strong and healthy. Amen!

Blessings,
