Being a new dad has done something in my everyday thinking and everyday living!  During the week I am constantly thinking of ways I could improve myself so that I could be a great father!

My friends and I were talking late at a coffee shop called Starbucks, have you hard of it?  (It's a joke) We were talking about the differences of home school and public school. 
I have come accross people who are anti public school who feel that it's very wrong to send your child there.  I have also met the other side who argues that home school is better because of it's one one one training.  But all that aside there is one thing that I believe is the bottom line; and that is good, Godly parenting. 

Rachel and I have some time to decide on where Isaac is going to attend school, but I do know this; that we will be part of his life through his ministry at school.  Did you get that?  His ministry while he is at that age will be his school.  Like each one of us where ever we're at in life, that is our ministry. We need solid young people to step into our public schools and be an awesome witness of who Jesus is.  In my area there is a group of people picketing our schools saying Homosexuality is wrong and a sin.  My quesion to that is why are you telling a group of people that it's wrong when they don't live on the same moral basis as we? We need our young people to be a witness that will be Jeus to all groups of people!  I am willing that will go further than creating a sign that states the obvious.

Let me rant:

Too many people condemn our schools on what they believe or what they teach (example: Evolution), yet these same parents are not spending time with them in the evening.  When the student is coming home there is no dialoge of what took place.  

I want to be able to sit and talk with Isaac about the in and outs of his day, what was said, what took place, and answer any questions he may have.  I know it sound I want to be a over bearing  parent, but it comes with a Father's heart.  That get's me sometimes, late at night when Rachel is in bed and I'm sitting in my brown chair in my office I will start to just think about a Fathers heart.  I really want him to understand who he is in the Lord. 

I have an idea: Let's take back our schools by sending our students there.
