What would you do?? Persecution??

I lived in Sheboygan for only a couple short years but I have some faith roots there... do you know what I mean?? :) We attended a great church that was in that town and I met many awesome people there. One of the friends I met there has 2 sons and the story I am about to tell you will make you applaud this mommy!

This mom made the extra effort to teach her children to always share their faith so for this Valentines she and the 2 boys made valentines for their peers and they included John 3:16 on the Valentine! GREAT right? :) As parents we need to instill a boldness in sharing our faith and what an easy way to do it. They picked a verse about LOVE which is fitting for Valentines day. Easy right??

Well, this is where the story gets ugly. The students brought there Valentines to class but the teacher catches the verse on it and makes the student throw the Valentines in the garbage. :( HOW SAD!!! Now we know we live in a democratic nation right?? We do know that teachers are not allowed to share their faith unless the topic is brought up by a student. There is no law that restricts a child or student from sharing their faith.

There is a Christian Law Association that can help you if you have any similar stories happen! http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/1999/08/02/associations-right-in-schools

So this mom was a bit angry but frustrated and sad at the same time. Her actions are pretty awesome daring. In her words "God continue to be my strength and fire in my belly." She wrote a press release to the local paper and the paper is now sending a reporter to her house and running the story on Friday! She contacted the lawyer and principle and in the morning she went to the principle but he refused to talk with any lawyers. Now she is moving on to meet with the superintendent.

We will wait and see if the school will make an apology and make this right. I pray that GOD will be glorified through this!!!

Have you had to protect your children's first amendment rights? Have you faced persecution and stayed strong for HIM??

Would love to hear thoughts and would love if you shared this story with others!

JOHN 3:16- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

If I find the article in the paper I will try to share it on my blog as well, but it will not be out till Friday.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review. :) All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review. About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
