Hmmm... as a busy mom who just started homeschooling I have truly been out of the loop in the blogging world. Somehow until my latest issue of TOS came in the mail I was missing the controversy. Today I had the opportunity to read through some stuff. I found myself reading a blog entry for one of the homeschool carnivals that talked about dealing with strong willed children. In it a reference (teeny tiny reference) was made about inflicting pain (spanking) on a child. Of course being curious (or nosey whatever!) I followed some links and came across some blogs that were just tearing HSB and TOS apart. It was ridiculous. Why is we are supposed to be "tolerant" and "accepting" of every one who does not agree with our views but our views are not accepted or tolerated? This to me is a sure sign of immaturity. If you cant take criticism then dont criticize. Simple. For thier part I have to say I have not seen HSB or TOS lash out at those involved in the immature boycott. If the shoe were on the other foot and HSB and TOS were calling for a boycott of people who dont spank or who have a different lifestyle you can bet your bippy there would be a HUGE flame was. YUCK.
Oh well, I will go back to enjoying my children...and I just want to let everyone know Im teaching my children a life of love and grace and mercy, but Im also teaching them to take a stand for the Biblical view of marriage, family, womanhood, manhood, the church, salvation. They are not being raised to be tolerant of ungodliness. Its possible to love the sinner and hate the sin and I want my kids to HATE sin!

PS I want to say before I start a huge controversy, if you dont spank I dont care. I dont judge you. You raise your children how you see fit and I will raise mine how I see fit! :)
