I am often tempted to go back to school simply to get a diploma to hang on my wall. I am learning so much more than in a classroom right now. I needed that. Thanks. A great reminder for me.

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:01:11 +0000 http://207.126.54.137/wordpress/?p=17#comment-4236 Thank you for this insightful post. Quite frankly, if this had been a political post, I would have skipped it or just glossed over it. I don't read homeschool blogs for that. I will pray for Obama because God instructs us to, and if we start obeying God as a nation, we will see good things in my opinion. Thank you for this insightful post.

Robin-I didn't know about your incident (I don't know a lick about twitter) SO-I will be praying for your quick recovery as well. I'm also glad that you posted this about Wisdom-I had purchased your Wisdom study a year ago and due to procrastination I haven't done it yet. This post prompted me to get going on with the study! I have intentions of doing it along with my oldest son. Thanks so much for all your posts, in fact I recently had to look up your past posts of 'The Shack' since I just recently finished reading it I wanted to tie in the Bible verses you related with it. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!! XO Stacy well said SisterLisa and Sharon! my point exactly.

A lot of brethren I know did NOT discuss about the president or whatsoever. They left it to God and pray for him even before president's day itself. This brings to mind the story of Mary and Martha, from what I see, Robin chose to sit at the Lord Jesus's feet!

A diploma on a wall or the ability to spout facts is not wisdom. The ability to speak several languages or read philosophical literature is not wisdom." How very very true! Thanks for the thought provoking post! This is an excellent post Robin and I’m sorry the comments on the content of the post got a little hijacked there! :-)

Aside from my obvious Australian (non-US) bias, I really appreciate any time you have to devote to encouraging fellow home educators. Robin, we simply don't pay you enough! **SMILE** I read your twitter update about the ribs but do you think I can figure out how to respond to it? Nope! But I am so sorry to hear of your recent fall- I shall pray for your ribs to begin healing immediately. I've had broken ribs and they sure can be painful. In His Grace, Susan Hi Robin,

His father was 1/2 AA and his mother was Caucasian. Having an AA leader doesn't mean racism will stop. Even the poem read aloud on that day was racist from a different perspective. The girl promoted 'those who made the bricks and picked the cotton fields' yet she forgets who FOUGHT off the English when they tried to invade us. And let's not forget the white families that LOVED their slaves and took VERY good care of them and their children. Not all white people are racist. And what about the Indians who took terrific care of this land before all of us came? They had wisdom in caring for the land and all the wildlife. It's because of the Indians that we even survived once we got here. Above all that, it is GOD who even gave us the opportunity to live here in the first place. God could end racism all on his own. He doesn't need a man to do that. According to the Bible our world will not know peace until Christ himself comes back. Racism exists between several races not just white and AA. There is racial tension between many Americans, regardless of their skin color or what country they originally were from. If Robin decides not to get involved in saying anything about the inauguration that is her right. I know she is praying for him and his family, she does mention it in other arenas. The main goal of every Christian is to help others come to the saving knowledge of Christ our Lord. I have no doubt she is praying for that for the First Family. One last thing, just because God 'allowed' him to become President doesn't mean he was God's first choice. There are times when God allows a country to have the leader THEY want. We do need to pray for Obama. I pray for their safety and salvation, and for wisdom to lead this nation. Not all Americans will be pleased with his decisions.We do pray for him, but although we pray for him we will NOT stand down when he leads our nation back to killing MILLIONS more babies just because those women chose to have physical intimacy before marriage. We will obey the laws of the lands, but we do not have to support ungodly decisions.

I'm wearing a sling and it hard to type. I haven't posted anything here but archives because of this and I've been very busy homeschooling. I did Twitter several prayers for our president and his family Sorry you took that as a negative. I really didn't think about it. I can promise I would not have posted about McCain or anything else this week as I had little time.
