Homeschool, Public School and Private School

 

We've been primarily a homeschool family for the past 13 years - but we've also had kids in private and public schools.  We are not militant homeschoolers, and we believe that each of the education options has its pros and cons.  The poll results below caught my eye so I thought I would share it.  It's not as frightening as the adults who try to answer the basic questions Jay Leno asks them, but it's still a pretty bleak assessment.  Keep in mind that these were high school students ....

A Little Gathering for 4,000 of Our Closest Friends and Family

 

My buddy Mike Williams and I had a little get-together on Saturday and 4,000 people showed up.  Mike started a group called Feed Your Faith almost four years ago and for the past three and a half years I've been working with him to bring the best and brightest Christian speakers, authors and musicians to East Tennessee while raising money for those in need.  This weekend's event, the Feed Your Faith Marriage Conference featuring Kirk Cameron and Warren Barfield, was pretty amazing.  After six months of nonstop, frantic work organizing and promoting this event, the best part was finally kicking back and enjoying the evening performance with my Wife2Me.
 
There's a great news report from CBS about our conference at this link (it takes you to a written version of the story, but it has a link to the video near the top of the page).
 
Below are some photos from the Feed Your Faith Marriage Conference at Sevier Heights Baptist Church in Knoxville.  Photos are by Lynn Freeny (thanks Lynn) and Michelle Swaney (thanks Michelle).

To all 4,000 of our friends who turned out Saturday, we appreciate it.  If you had a good time, watch the Feed Your Faith web site for more upcoming events.

Finally ... Crop Circles Explained

 

From the Associated Press:

 

SYDNEY, Australia - Wallabies snacking in Tasmania's legally grown opium poppy fields are getting "high as a kite" and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops, a state official said.

 

Tasmania Attorney-General Lara Giddings told a budget hearing Wednesday that she had recently read about the kangaroo-like marsupials' antics in a brief on the state's large poppy industry. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

 

"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," The Mercury newspaper quoted Giddings as telling the hearing. "Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."

 

Now we can all rest a little easier knowing where crop circles come from.
