Thanks for sharing and for serving.

Preach on, sister friend! :) I found myself having this same discussion with the cable guy the other day. When he found out my dh is in the Air Force, he felt free to spout his opinion about the "sandbox" and I, in turn, felt the need to set him straight. Gently and kindly, of course. :)

as the opposition grows stronger, I am much less apologetic about voicing my opinion too. I'm sure you did a great job though, probably nicer than I would be! :)

I have been saying the same thing. My dh is leaving in a few months for his first tour in Iraq. It has only been a God thing that he hasn't gone over already. (and trust me I have felt guilty for getting to keep him here this long, but with having 2 preemie babies and almost dieing in childbirth in 2003 I needed him here). Anyway he is finally going over, and we have had several people that have said that they are praying the troups come home so he doesn't have to go. We have been trying to politly tell them to please not pray that way. We would rather they pray that God's will be done and that God's headge of protection be around him. I am glad to meet another military homeschooling mom. I have so much to talk about and so many questions to ask. I just signed up for my blog yesterday. I will add you to my friends list.
