My personal opinion is less scriptural and more interpretive. The story of Jesus is really compelling. Here's a guy who stated his beliefs, presented religion as an issue of conscience, and refused to back down to the point of death. I think it's an amazing story that is unfortunately diluted...

I was also under the impression that the song was being played and promoted. That's a train wreck of a lesson, but at least they're not actually teaching oral sex to 9-year-olds. I know they're trying to integrate subjects with Common Core, but what is the point of this lesson other than...

I love shopping 2nd hand, but I don't do it at Goodwill. One man's junk is another man's treasure, but Goodwill is way too proud of other people's junk. We have a private 2nd hand store in our community. Their prices are really reasonable. In fact, they could probably double some of their...

I needed a chuckle this morning. Thanks. :)

So you want to fight tyranny with...tyranny?

Yes, it is interesting that the feds have taken that position. Did you read the link back a few posts from the military training? Here's an article on the subject: http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/pentagon-labels-founding-fathers-conservatives-as-extremists.html But reading...

Well, look what just came in the mail. My child recently visited an allergist. I just received this: Parent laughed out loud at the suggestion, actually. But there were a series of questions that included school performance. I've raised kids for the past 29 years. This is the first I've...

I do that now. It's just nice to have the resources and social interaction provided through the homeschool assistance program. But Iowa recently changed the law. Beginning this year, all I am required to do is report that we homeschool. And I could move across the line to Missouri where I...

Maybe. I really love our home school assistance program. The teacher is my cousin. I like the way she thinks. ;) But I'm considering going it alone because of common core. I have a couple other family members who are recently retired teachers, and they're pretty shocked at the program...

Common Core is past the pale as is teaching cocksucking to 9-year-olds. There's a line, and people instinctively understand where it is drawn. The goal of common core is to do exactly what has been done on this thread, to redefine moral authority. The new morality is to intimidate and demean...

I'm still imagining and hoping that person is okay.

That was not the John Lennon song I was hoping to find. Wow.

Gotcha. Yeah, I keep flunking my retraining. Washington is a really interesting historical figure. You should read up. One of my ancestors was with him, in the rank and file, of course, as he fled the Battle of Brooklyn. My ancestor's whole family had to move from Long Island to...

I'm just curious. Killed the cat, I know. But, why Jefferson? Why not George Washington or Daniel Boone? Do you think we like Jefferson the best, or is there some other reason you've chosen him? http://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2161-docs.pdf

Awesome! There's a lot of Amish here, but so far, the only camels I've seen this year have been at the zoo and the county fair. Maybe we'll get some here, too. :)
