2008 AFHE home School Convention

Only went and heard the keynote speaker today. Unfortunately he had way to much to share. The first half was standard explanation and encouragement about how those with no professional training can out do the professionals when it comes to the education of our children. This is because God said I want the parents to do it.

His second half was on world view and how instilling a biblical world view is the ultimate goal God had in mind when it comes to education. Period. He had to skip over maybe half or more of his presentation on this portion of his message. Too bad, it was going good.

This theme God is bringing to the fore front all over the place. He wants us to get it. He also knows that we "think" this is what we have been doing. But we haven’t. It is starting to sink in though.

They also showcased the new DVD Trojan Horse, which it too, had Worldview comeponants and addresses a lack of understanding when we take $$$ from the govt for home schooling purposes. We watched it tonight and Voddie B is especially impactful in his choice of scripture and words to show we must be careful. It reinforced what the keynote was about.

Other wise we spent the day carefully canvassing the armory. Some shop. We are fitting out. More ammo. You can always carry one more grenade. Put it in the stroller under Nathan. Okay,okay my wife shops and its the vendor hall. But I gear up, gimme another claymore and a 200 round battle pack of 308 rounds please. No, I dont need it gift wrapped. My daughters seem to keep being attracted to the guns and swords?!?

We kept running into those Heritage people all over.

Found out the Latter Day Saints have their own support groups.
