Don't Pass Go, Go Straight to Jail
The degree I’m working towards is a double major in theology and education. When people hear the education part, they assume I want to be a school teacher. I do, but not in the way they’re thinking. My hope is to get married, have children, and be able to home school them. My mom and I have often discussed the possibility of it one day being illegal to home school your children without credentials, thus the degree. I never thought that would become a reality so quickly. Many of you have probably heard by now that home schooling has been deemed illegal in California by a court in Los Angeles. People like HSLDA and Roy Hanson are now working on the situation, but I think it has shocked a lot of people, like me, into realizing how much we take our freedom for granted. Please be in prayer for the people fighting this and that God would be glorified in this case.
You can find more information about the court decision here and sign a HSLDA petition to have a depublishing of the case here.

Watching the News
Dad: what'd they say he'd do?
Me: What? Oh, I don't know. I was just looking at the picture and thinking it wasn't a proper profile picture.
Dad: *laughs* You're just a photographer.

Prayers for a Piano
It's amazing sometimes how God answers prayer. My family has been looking into buying a grand piano for some time now. My sister is majoring in music, and my mom and other sister play as well. We wanted at least a certain size, something built soundly with a good tone, and affordable. Well, the first two aren't hard to find, but the last one seemed to make it almost impossible. To keep the story short, my mom found a piano that seemed to fit our needs on ebay, but it ended up selling for more than what we wanted to pay. She just happened to checking ebay again and saw the same piano was up for sale again. The winner never ended up paying, and the owner needed to get rid of it, so here was a second chance for us. This time we won the bid for half the price it was sold for the first time! Our quick visit to see and pay for it was kind of unbelievable. Now a beautiful Steinway piano sits in our converted music/photography room. We say it's our miracle from God!

Life is Valuable
As Christians, we say this often. We may even protest at abortion clinics or work at a crisis pregnancy center. But how far should we carry this idea? I have been thinking about this for awhile without coming to any real conclusions. Please read the article below and share your thoughts with me!
To read the rest, go here.
There’s a new documentary out that asks the question “Is risk worth the reward.” It’s about base-jumping and other extreme sports, where people put their lives on the line for the excitement of the adrenaline rush. I’m taking a risk here in saying this, but I answer that question with “No. Absolutely not."

The Truth
For all you out there that think that distance learning people have it easy...think again.
I'm free! Until next month. It has been a hard journey, but God is good.
