Your Responsibility; Your Choice

Education of our children is an awesome responsibility. Men are often more concerned about funding the family and career matters over the education of children. I can't help but think that in our moment of accountability before the Lord we will regret that focus. Godly children and Godly education must be central to our focus as fathers. It's our responsibility, and our choice in how to do it.

To that end, I encourage you to register with www.letschooseschools.com Lets Choose Schools promotes School Choice Legislation for Texas. On Wednesday, February 25th, they are giving away $20,000 in funding for school choice. Lottery drawings of $1,000 for private school students, $500 for home-schools students, and $250 for public school enrichment classes will be made on the South Steps of the Capitol. The group will also sponsor lobbyists activities for that afternoon.
You need to visit www.letschooseschools.com are get registered today for your benefit and the benefit of School Choice in Texas.

I also call to your attention a report by Exodus Mandate. They have issued a report card on National Christian Ministries. The report grades ADF, AFA, Focus on the Family and others regarding their policies on Christian Education. You may disagree, but the report will stimulate a few thoughts. Exodus Mandate calls for Christians to leave the Public School system.

And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deut 6:6-7 (ESV)

Brent, thank you. You are so kind. Now that the "Let's Choose Schools" rally and lottery are over, no one can register for the lottery.

Instead, I would like for them to join Facebook and then join our Facebook group, "Let's Choose Schools in Texas!" That way we can all stay in touch.

God bless you for promoting school choice and my organization.
