Good News for Home Schools!

Pacific Justice Institute has just received word that the court ruling which declared most forms of homeschooling unlawful in California has been vacated. This means the Rachel L. decision, which has sparked a nationwide uproar, will not go into effect as it is currently written. The Second District Court of Appeal has instead decided to re-hear the case, with a new round of briefings due in late April. It would likely take the court several additional months to schedule oral argument and issue another decision.

Today’s announcement by the court that it will re-hear the case reinforces PJI’s position that homeschooling families should continue their current programs without fear of governmental interference. PJI will be actively involved in the upcoming briefs and will continue to post updates and special bulletins on this vital issue.

Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, commented, “We are pleased that the Court of Appeal has decided to re-hear the Rachel L. case, and we are hopeful that the fundamental rights of these parents, our clients Sunland Christian School, and the tens of thousands of homeschooling families in California will be honored. Homeschooling parents should be treated as heroes—not hunted down or harassed by their own government.”

It amazes me that even after knowing the true statistics of home schooled children succeeding in life and making something of themselves, how someone would try to sabotage the homeschooling option.

Sunday, March 9, 2008, is Daylight Saving Time.

So for California, set your clocks FORWARD one hour before you go to bed tonight. More sunshine for everyone. My brother in AZ is sure lucky to not have to remember to do this. His clock never adjusts.

How about in your state?
Do you adjust your clocks for daylight saving time?
Leave a comment and let me know.

Don’t be late to church tomorrow!

Are you like me and dread the chore of preparing taxes? It’s not too bad if you’re single or don’t own a business. I don’t mind helping my children or family members prepare their taxes…that’s a breeze. Actually, I got my Dad hooked on TurboTax since he prepares his own taxes and he loves it. There’s no other way to do them now for him.

I have to agree. TurboTax has been the best tax software I’ve used so far. I love the question prompts and the choice to be guided with them or not. There are some areas that I know what to enter and yet I’m always curious if there’s a new tax break that President Bush pushed through for us that I may have missed. I sure am dreading the change of Presidential candidates, mostly if a Democrat is unfortunately elected.

Well, it’s that time of the year again for the SXSW interactive, music & film conference and festival. March 7-16, 2008, in Austin Texas. Russ and sometimes myself usually try to attend at the least the Interactive panels. Russ really enjoys participating in the sessions and having the opportunity to personally speak with Panel participants and picking their brains on ideas, thoughts, opportunities, etc. They provide a full-brain overload of information that’s for sure. Russ is like a sponge and absorbs it all. What a gift he has.

It’s crucial to register early on to avoid the last minute rush, especially when coming in from out-of-state. Hotels book up fast. The best hotel rates are usually the ones offered from the Coordinators of the Conference, so plan early to come its worth the effort.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”- Joshua 1:9

I love this verse. It’s a great verse to have in your memory, especially during times that feel like there is no hope, are no choices, or is defeating or disappointing, etc. “The Lord is with US wherever we go!!!” That comforts me, hopefully you too.

Psalm 73:25-26

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Just my own ponder about this verse:

Isn’t this verse so true! The only one true God, our creator, is who we have to rely on. Through Jesus, our creator, He became flesh and lived as a man like us. He did this to bring us salvation and teach us how to live for Him and know what’s right from wrong. There is nothing that this earth has to offer worth anything that could even compare to what the Lord already gives us. The reality is…this body may not function properly, but God is in control and is our strength and will make a way for us to live according to His purpose, forever.

Feel free to share your thoughts about this verse with a comment.
