last night was the members only meeting, and you will be glad to know that Josh gave a stern reproof to parents who look down on families that choose to educate their kids differently than what they have chosen. He strongly said there is no one right way to educate a child. Homeschooling isn't more godly than CLS and CLS is not more godly than public school. He said that the pastors totally support the families who send their kids to public school. It was a much needed reproof. And I thought you would be pleased.

Why did I stay in an abusive marriage so long? For some of the same reasons--and like many, I am "lazy and busy and prone to inertia." It takes what it takes to get out of there. One good friend from work said that CLC is like a beautiful bowl of ice cream that has a spoonful of poop (rigid hierarchy/patriarchy and cultish tendencies) thrown in it. I had to recognize it as such.
