Kill me now

From Friendly Atheist’s, “This is why we can’t have nice things, America,” my first response was the same as commenter Steve’s:

So now we have to justify why evolution is taught? WTF?

Vote for the scariest homeschooling video

Lynn — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:08:46 +0000

Did you know that HSLDA is having a video ad contest? I don’t know what they plan to do with the videos or where they hope to air them (Christian TV networks I presume), but you can vote for your favorite video at HSLDA – and/or in my poll below. :D

☠
1. Old Time

☠
2. Same Day

☠
3. HSLDA Case: 8521

☠
4. Hope on the Horizon

☠
5. Homeschoolers Who Lived in a Shoe

☠
6. HSLDA Scent

☠
7. Are You Protected?

☠

☠
Of course, while I was over at HSLDA, I accidentally clicked on – and cast a vote for! – entry #1 which features the “mom” who leaves her toddler unattended on the stairs while she’s preoccupied with the social worker. Oy.

Blogging tweets about The Awakening: “Civil Rights”

Lynn — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 19:48:50 +0000

Liberty Council is live-tweeting The Awakening Conference: Equipping and Empowering a New Revolution (#Awakening2011, #Awakening) and, for the heck of it, I thought I’d pull some of their tweets on various topics. In reverse chronological order, here’s a snapshot from this morning as they pander to African-Americans:

Martin Luther led movement & Christians led abolition of slavery in civil rights movement in America
All human rights issues & movements led by Christians William Wilberforce led UK in abolition of slavery
Greeks & Romans embraced slavery … Enlightenment period repackaged slavery
Americans cherish freedom from slavery … result of Judeo-Christian society
People are uniting around shared values because of increasing threats to faith & freedom!
Something new happening! Spirit of revolution awakening people & uniting communities across racial ethnic & generations
Lila Rose NOW! Live Action UCLA student on Planned Parenthood’s repeated aiding & abetting pimps of underage sex slaves!
Awakening Starts Now!

Today’s schedule is here, where it’s also being streamed live.

Weather Excitement R Us

Lynn — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 18:41:16 +0000

We’re so easily excited about changes in the weather in Southern California. Even simple rain causes most of us to stop what we’re doing to walk to the window, look out with wide eyes and say, “wow.” So, imagine our excitement lately. About a week ago, we were enjoying beach weather (in the 90′s °F); last night we were treated to a mini-hailstorm accompanied by thunder (aka “fundar” around our house after Girl, still working on her “th’s,” coined the term years ago). Anyway, look at my mother’s patio. Look at it and say, “wow.” <:O

As an excitement chaser, I should have found a church service this morning to hear how our strange weather is a sign that we’re living in the Last Days.

The 2011 Homeschool Christian Contests

Lynn — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 06:01:03 +0000

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. Granted, the names of the two organizations sound similar (theirs is Great Homeschool Conventions; ours is Great American Homeschool Conferences), but, unlike GH events, ours are “Christ-centered and stand for the literal truth of all Scripture.” (We also see nothing wrong with publicly calling into question the faith of other Christians, as evidenced by this email.)

Thank you. And have a blessed day.
