Still Living Free!

At least as far as home education is concerned!

Today we joined hundreds at the statehouse for a rally asking legislators to vote ITL (inexpedient to legislate) a bill that would destroy the home education freedoms in our state. *If* this bill would have passed, our state would have had one of the most stringent home education laws in our nation. *If* this bill would have passed, it would set yet another precedent for taking away the rights of parents and citizens to choose what is best for their homes and families. *If* this bill would have passed, it would have been without any evidence that home education is failing students in any way. In fact, all the data concerning our state's home educated students shows quite the contrary! I am so grateful we serve a God who overpowers every *IF* in our path!

Hooray for all of the families that attended the many rallies, meetings and sessions that were made to try to sneak this bill through. Hooray for the hardworking individuals who daily watched and carefully followed this unneccessary bill so that we, as a people, could be informed and take action. Hooray that our prayers, words, actions and presence still make a difference in our state and nation. Thank you, Lord, for allowing us these freedoms yet!
