It’s not impossible
Together in a room,
working (and laughing for that matter) on a project.
I give you:
- a non-religious, big-bang and evolution believer
- a young-earth Christian fundamentalist.
And even though a secular Yahoo group I was once on claimed it wasn’t possible,
we’re friends.
Homeschooling is more than your views on religion,
it’s your views on raising your children.

Yes! It is possible. What I have found more impossible, though, is for a pro-Harry Potter Christian homeschooler and an anti-Harry Potter Christian homeschooler to get along together. And not because the pro-HP one (me) hasn’t tried. I am so glad that my best friend moved over here a couple years ago - she homeschools, loves Harry and even (gasp) Pokemon, and we get along famously, in spite of our political differences. Why do people have to dig in over such stupid things?
And, bravo on posting the head’s up about the HB Awards. I’ve been trying to ignore most of the hype, because I, too noticed that the organizers were eligible to win, and found it ludicrous that no one thought this might be a teensy weensy conflict of interest.
You and I may have different beliefs that we stand on, but I love your blog, and would love to see it win just so the organizers can see how hateful their stand on issues can be.

No…altogether possible. Believe me, I get tired of the flame wars from both sides.
