What a fun few days we've had together. Praying the rosary, reading Little House on the Prairie, eating three meals together at the table (which will keep our kids off drugs). And, we kept up our lessons through Saturday, just to take advantage of these days indoors and to build up a surplus so we can go outside when it's nice. I can't wait for sunshine. Slick slack wrote a poem for ccc last week about me, and I'm still gushing over it. (Yes, I'm pregnant, but that's not why I'm crying over it. Really.)
As my fellow homeschoolers are wrapped up in the legalities and constitutional infringement in the latest CT legislature's proposals to require behavioral assessments for our children at ages 12, 14, and 17 (now adding public school children to the homeschool children), and others are heading to a romantic Valentine's Day in Hartford to March for Change, I'm resisting my former self's instinct to jump in and write a long brief about the fourth amendment, equal protection, the second amendment or anything legal at all. I'm quietly praying. We are called to continue to be faithful Catholics, remembering our purpose. Lead our families to heaven. And somehow, I feel called to do more. Yet, I know my current limits, don't I?
And in the meantime, I will teach my children to type, so they can write briefs and great articles like the latest George Weigel on the future of the Church and the New Evangelization:
Here is a really cool (free) typing program.
While the kids are learning to type, watch this awesome made for tv movie, The Battle of Athens, Restoring the Rule of Law, and keep praying.
Hope to see you all Wednesday.
Mrs. K
