Speak Up Saturday! Suspended for Praying, Homeschool Comebacks Contest

It's Saturday!  Speak up!!  On today's Speak Up Saturday, I want to tell you about some things I have found this week that might interest you.  First is a news story out of Vancouver, Washington. 

Twelve Students Receive 10-Day Suspension for Praying Before School

You can read the full story, but it can be summed up this way.  The Vice Principal wouldn't allow a Prayer Group to meet in a private room on campus so they began praying before school in the cafeteria.  One student, who was a Satanist, complained and the prayer group was told to go outside the school grounds to pray.  Due to cold weather, they continued to pray in the cafeteria and they were suspended. 

How do you like them apples?  What say you?

Homeschooler's Notebook is looking for Homeschool Comebacks!

This is a weekly ezine for homeschoolers put out by Family Classroom.net.  They are asking for your whitty or fun (but respectful) comebacks to The Dumbest Thing YOU Ever Heard Part 1 written by Mike Farris of HSLDA. 

Got any?  Post them here!

Happy Homeschooling...

Mar. 3, 2007 - Keep Defending the Faith!

Posted by KarlaKAkins
The dumbest thing I heard this week is James Cameron's assertion that he found the bones of Jesus our risen Lord! I also had a chance to discuss the Word with someone who has been affected by the teaching of the Da Vinci Code. If we don't share the TRUTH with people -- how are they going to KNOW what is TRUE? We have to raise our voices to be heard above the cacphony of the media! You can read about my recent experiences here: http://homeschoolblogger.com/karlakakins

What a great time to know what we believe! There are many people believing what they hear because they have not been taught how to think. We've got to be ready to give an answer!

Mar. 3, 2007 - How sad....

that kids are being punished for praying in school. They will be rewarded for it someday, though.

Due to technical problems with my HSB blog, I've begun a new one. You'll find me at:

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DON'T MISS: Tuesday Tips, Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man, Friday Funnies, Defending the Faith SONdays ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
