We Band of Homeschoolers...
"We few, we (not so) happy few....."
Are you wondering what we weren't happy about? Let me start by saying that "few" is an understatement. Tuesday morning, at least 4,000 homeschoolers gathered at the state Capitol Tuesday morning to make it known that we were not happy with a bill they were trying to pass called SB 136. Below, Jess and I stop for a picture together! I realize we look happy, but it's just an illusion.

What do you know? Other people do this too!!!They wouldn't allow any more families to come in due to the fire safety regulations (even though there were empty seats available)!
The best part of the whole event was the singing. That's right, I said singing! We started out singing the National Anthem, then our church group started Amazing Grace....with a group this big and so many knowing the parts, it sounded INCREDIBLE!!
The parents stood around messing with their phones, checking on the updates coming from the hearing room in which the whole thing was taking place!
The bill has been tabled. Praise God! But we still need to pray that it doesn't resurrect with a new face! Praise to God who heard our petition and defended our homeschooling rights!
Until next time, Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? {insert smile}
Simply inspiring. Wish I could have heard your father testify. Thank you for posting these!
