I read this from Homeschool Weekly E-Newsletter.
The Familyman

Election time is where the homeschool rubber meets the road. Do we really believe God sets up kings and presidents and that "He's got the whole world in His hands". . .or do we show our children by our gloom and doom predictions that all we've taught them about God is a bunch of hooey (to use the Greek word)? To hear some Christians talk, you'd think that God steps down from His throne on November 4th.
We can teach them all we want about God through reading the Scriptures and memorizing Bible verses. . .BUT they LEARN the most from the way we live when "school" is not in session.
We don't watch TV, but on November 4th, we plan to plug in the TV and watch the presidential coverage. I'm sure we'll cheer on our favorite. . .but afterwards, no matter who walks away as winner, we will pray for our new president and thank God for setting him in place. Then no complaining.
Oh, here's one more thing to leave you with. . .the absolute truth is that what takes place in YOUR house is way more important than what happens in the White House.
Be Real. . .and trust God,
Be Real. . .and trust God,

Hi Dottie!
I saw you visited my site from here and clicked back to find this blog. :-)
Your lapbooks make me wish that we were still homeschooling full time! Though it is probably more a 'girl' thing. My boys made some cool notebooks but I was always more enthusiastic about it than they were. :-)
