"Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they treated the prophets before you."
I'm working through Jesus' ' Sermon on the Plain' for this Sunday's message in Luke 6. I've been camping out on this verse in Luke 6:22,23. No other passage seems to mystify my brain quite like this conundrum. Yet as I ponder and pray, some things make sense--although it's a massive perspective shift. I'll explain on Sunday, but for now, what do you think?

Defending Homeschool Freedom in California
CA Case Petition
On February 28, 2008, the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District in Los Angeles handed down a very bad decision regarding a case involving a homeschool family.
The opinion holds that homeschooling is not a legal option in California. HSLDA strongly disputes this interpretation of California law. We believe that the court made a mistake when it relied on a decision from 1953 in order to show that homeschooling is not a legal option.
If the opinion is followed then California will have the most regressive law in the nation and homeschooling will be effectively banned because the only legal way to homeschool will be for the parent to hold a teaching certificate. Parents should not have to attend a four year college education program just to teach their own children.
California is now on the path to being the only state to deny the vast majority of homeschooling parents their fundamental right to teach their own children at home.
Wow - those multitudes of homeschooling families (of which we were part of from 1990-96)are definitely feeling the (back)stab of rejection right now. I fear this type of persecution will only get worse in our present anti-Christian atmosphere. It is imperative to stay in prayer.
