Musings, made my day today! It took place in Colorado,

Please
read this
post by Christine Miller with an update concerning the
Afghani man who is in jail due to his conversion from Islam to
Christianity. She links to a post by Michelle Malkin who in turn
links to a post by LaShawn Barber which is worth reading. I found
a petition on Barber's blog to sign. Most of all, we need to be
praying for this man!

You
can read the article HERE.
I hope that homeschool highschoolers who want to will write an essay
anyway and turn it in to demonstrate the quality of writing that
homeschooled kids can produce. It is ridiculous that when the
omission of homeschoolers was pointed out to a rep. of the show, that
the rep decided to continue to exclude this group of American
highschoolers. I guess the show thinks it is okay to pick and
choose who to discriminate against. Sad.
Update:
Other bloggers are saying that the Oprah show has a right to make the
rules however they choose and that homeschoolers should not
complain. After all, some contests are open only to
homeschoolers. I guess the reason why I think that Oprah should
include ALL students is that it is a nationally-publicized show and the
show is claiming that the contest is open to all American high school
students, when in reality it is not. While I don't make it a
habit to watch the show and don't agree with her philosophy of life, I
still think that the contest and forum of expression should be open to
all students as is claimed.

Recently
our family drove by a community park and noticed a makeshift memorial
cross erected in memory of "Joey McBrun" with the dates 1999-2006 and a
plea to slow down. A mangled bike as well as flowers and stuffed
animals lay around the cross.
We expressed our sorrow to each
other that a young boy was apparently killed. James went on the
internet and did a search with the boy's name to find out what had
happened, yet he did not find any information. Later that week,
in a local newspaper, we read that the police were completely baffled
by the memorial and were asking for help in identifying the boy.
They had contacted the coroner who had no person by that name on
record. None of the local schools had any student enrolled by
that name either. I heard on a television news report as well,
that there is no resident of our state with that last name.
We
are suspicious that someone fabricated that memorial with the
implication that a child was killed in order to manipulate drivers to
slow down. It is reasonable to want others to drive responsibly,
but the method of achieving that appears to be dishonest. The
only other possibility that seems plausible is that the child was
actually killed in another state, but once had connections in this
community and therefore a memorial was put up here.
Mysterious...and weird.
