So, Cutest Girl in the Whole Wide World (age 13) is applying for her first-ever summer job. I think she has a pretty good chance as who in their right mind could resist an application like hers?

Dear Christian Homeschoolers, Please don’t get our homeschool conferences confused with the other organization that recently disinvited Ken Ham to an event after he publicly called into question the faith of another Christian vendor.
