Billboard Progress!!!

The day has finally come when the billboard has been put up!!!
Most of you who were kind enough to so generously participate in my IANA billboard fundraiser, already know about it being up, but I never actually posted it on the blog like I should have!
So, if you have not already been informed, the billboard was put up almost more than a month ago, now. It is the full artwork, and everything and it turned out great!! Unfortunately, I was already gone for college by the time it was put up, but I still got to see some amazing photos of it and enjoy the thought that it is currently reaching thousands every week as they read it while on the way to and from work and school! The Lord is so good!
So, here are some pictures that I promised I would post....sorry that they are so overdue!

And remember if you want to drive by and see it, just head towards C.L. on rt. 14 and look on the right hand side of the road!
Thanks you all so much, once again, for your support and contribution. God is good.

Scripture of the Day

For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisors make victory sure.
Proverbs 11:14

This verse in the Bible can totally apply to our nation, today. Because, when a country or nation makes rash decisions without thinking...it can lead to big mistakes and sometimes a huge crisis.
This verse also, brings up another important issue. To have lack of guidance or have only one or a few people making decisions in a government, is not very wise. It can lead to anarchy, even socialism, and less of a voice among the people of that nation. But, when there are many advisors (and a voice within we the people) a nation or democracy can run smoothly and there will be less of a chance of mistakes being made within the government, effecting the entire country.

Under Construction!

Make Your Voice Heard!!

Hello Readers!
This is an urgent post regarding a bill on the registering of homeschoolers in Illinois.
The bill, SB-136, would compel all home school parents to register their children with the state. This could also lead to the state being able to control what parents teach their children.
This is a violation of our rights as homeschoolers and as U.S. citizens. It takes from Americans' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...among other things!
Please voice your opinion in this area.
Those of you who feel the same as I do, call and email our senators like crazy!!!!!!
And if you're really fired up....go to the hearing;
held in Springfield, IL.
Here is a link to a very helpful website, which will direct you to where exactly the hearing will be held and how you can get a hold of our senators, before hand.

HAPPY ELELECTION DAY!!

"Elections belong to the people.
It is their decision.
If they decide to to turn their backs
on the fire and burn their behinds,
then they will just have to sit on their blisters."
~Abraham Lincoln

Just as honest Abe said, if you choose not to vote than you are making a choice--and you will have to live with the results.
I hope that all of you who read this are voting, because it is such an honor, a responsibility, and right which "we the people" must uphold.
Don't think that your one vote doesn't matter, because every one counts.
