Jackson Women’s Health Organization, scheduled for hearing on December 1, 2021. Mississippi, a sovereign state, has made a law to keep babies in the womb alive after 15 weeks gestation.

What Supreme Court Case?

Cobb v Jackson Women’s Health Organization

Mississippi, a sovereign state, has made a law to keep babies in the womb alive after 15 weeks gestation. The issue before the Court is whether this prohibition on abortion and whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortion are unconstitutional.

Focus of Case

Background including Mississippi law

How this got to the Supreme Court?

What will the Court decide?

Law

Existing law on abortion in the US

Changes

How could this case impact or change abortion law?

State law and potential of changes to Roe v Wade.

Schedule

Scheduled for hearing on December 1, 2021

Expected Decision

Christian Response

Why should I as a Christian care?

What Can I do?

How can I pray?

Intercessors for America – they have an action resource and a prayer guide folks can have emailed to them if they give their email address. The prayer guide includes daily calls with each state and the justices they are praying for specifically. They also give a guide to praying for the clerks and the attorneys.

https://ifapray.org/about/

The ACLJ also has numerous videos, and articles about this case including the European stand on abortion (protecting life for the most part and NOT recognizing a right to abortion; and also discussing the Biden administration’s continued support of the abortion industry and support of Planned Parenthood. A great resource on the legal side of things

https://aclj.org/pro-life/

I read this and it’s done by a Christian ministry but I’d never heard of it before. Their page on the development of the fetus is really good. Can only recommend lightly but it’s useful as a resource to understand where a baby is in development.

The Dark Side in the World of Academia

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

October 18, 2021 by Laura Leave a Comment

The Dark Side in the World of Academia

In “The Dark Side in the World of Academia,” Episode, #146, Meredith Curtis reveals the challenges that await our child when they go away to college, especially if that university is secular. She talks about worldview, rejection of Christinaity, cancel culture, temptation, lowering of academic standards, and the money factor. If God has called you or your teens to go to college, there are ways to prepare so that you do not fall prey to the darkness, but instead shine your light brightly.

Powerline Productions, Inc.

Bringing Homeschool Joy to Families Everywhere!

Show Notes

There are several challenges of college life that we don’t hear much about.

Academia’s Worldview

Combination of Marxism and Post-Modernism.

Neither philosophy can co-exist with biblical Christianity so there is a strong attempt to stomp out religious faith.

Worldview Resources

Understanding the Times by David Noebel

I had my teens read it before college and even created a study guide to go with it: Worldview 101: Understand the Times.

Apologetics to Face the Darkness

Study apologetics if you are sending your kids to college.

Have them study apologetics, too.

Apologetic Resources

Here are my favorite apologetics resources

More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell
Cold Case Christianity by J. Warner Wallace
Evidence That Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell
Demolishing Strongholds Dvd series from Answers in Genesis

Cancel Culture

While the world of academia, Hollywood, and technology define “justice” and “progress,” anyone who disagrees can be “cancelled.” That could mean fired, unfriended, beaten up, cyber bullying, or suspended. Healthy debate is out; adhering to status quo is in.

Christians can stand firm within a counter-culture if they keep their eyes on Jesus through prayer and Bible study while standing with others who are firm in the faith. If you are going away to college, find a nearby local church and plug in. Find fellow Christians on campus and pray for one another. Stay in the Word of God.

Temptation

Students Face:

Sexual Immorality
Drunkedness
Drugs
Smoking
Filty Language
Depression

Stand firm in your identity in Christ.

Scripture Memorization

Identity in Christ Resources

It is so important to understand who you are in Christ and the basics of Christianity to be confidence in an ever-increasing hostile world. Here are some resources for high school teens that cause them to go deeper in their faith.

The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee

God’s Girls 101: Grow in Christ by Meredith Curtis (1-credit high school course)

Real Men 101: Godly Manhood by Meredith Curtis (1-credit high school course)

Lowering of Academic Standards

As college focuses on imparting a philosophy rather than educating, the level of education suffers.

Critical Race Theory

Handling of Literature

Rejecting Constitution

Rewriting History

The Money Factor

Debt.

Doesn’t necessarily prepare you to earn a good living—it depends on your major.

Homeschool Socialization

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

September 20, 2021 by Laura Leave a Comment

Homeschool Socialization

In “Homeschool Socialization,” Episode, #144, Meredith Curtis shares how homeschooling in her home has included other families. From involvement in homeschool support groups, lessons, sports, and co-ops to History Days and ministry, there have always been other homeschooling families involved in our lives. Meredith gives practical tips and fun ways to spend time with other families and learn at the same time.

Powerline Productions, Inc.

Bringing Homeschool Joy to Families Everywhere!

Show Notes

People often ask me the famous question: “What about socialization?”

I always laugh! My family has way too much socialization! Just kidding.

Younger Years

Homeschooling at home building memories

Co-ops/support groups we were part of

Ballet, tennis, soccer, basketball

Church

Mixing with all ages

Making friends with peers

Opportunities to learn

Opportunities to serve

Middle School Help with Science

When the children hit middle/high school, we join “Friday classes” for the older kids.

We went as a family. I helped teach classes and later taught on my own

Kids took watercolor, fitness, choir, drama, and sciences

History Days

Friday classes was so big, I wanted something more intimate.

“History Days” was born.

Reading aloud, Listening to Diana Waring audios

Crafts, Sewing, Art Appreciation, Drama, Creating Radio Shows, Models

Timelines, Maps, Cooking & Baking

What we studied over the years: American History, British History, Geography, World History

NO homework—we did history together for the day!

A Co-op Is Born

We added friends

The homeschool friend whose mom started working and wanted some time with other people
The homeschool friend whose mom couldn’t teach physics
The mom who was struggling

Adding more families

What didn’t work anymore: Listening to Audios, laid back schedule
What continued: reading aloud, hands-on fun, timelines, maps
Memories

Which was better?

Not really sure; both were perfect for us in the season we were in.

So Many Options

Umbrella Schools records only
Umbrella Schools 2-3 days per week (great when both parents work)
Online schools
Online classes
Support groups
Co-ops
Enrichment Classes
Core Classes

Lessons Learned

If you are not careful, other people can be the primary influence in your children. Not everyone agrees with my definition of “wholesome” or “Christian”

Don’t Forget: You can’t HOMEschool is you are never home.

We want to give our children “the best of the best” but what they need most is peaceful days with us.
