We want to take this time to wish you a very Merry Christmas.  Many people like to think about all the gifts and celebrations that happen on this holiday. It is very easy to let yourself get lost in all of the festivities. It is very easy to forget what this time is really all about.  Some of us give each other gifts because we have been told in the past “Tis is the season to be giving.” Christmas, however, does not have to do with the gifts that you did or did not get.  No matter how big or how small, those gifts cannot compare to God’s gift to humanity.  The gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest gift of all.  “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?” Mark 8:36 As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we encourage you to take a few minutes to contemplate what this means for us.  The Creator of the Universe desires a relationship with each and every one of us.  He proved his love for us despite our sinful condition by sending Jesus Christ to be the perfect sacrifice for sin in our…

Wisconsin Joint Select Committee on Common Core Standards *** PUBLIC HEARING *** THIS Thursday, 10/3, Noon – 8 PM Wisconsin State Capitol Room 411 South In an interview with Wisconsin Reporter last week, Governor Scott Walker took a public stand on Common Core State Standards (CCSS), calling on the Wisconsin State Legislature to hold hearings that the public has demanded for months in order to investigate these controversial standards. The governor stated,  “I’d like us to be in the position where we can identify our own unique standards that I think in many ways will be higher and more aggressive than the ones they’re talking about.” The legislature responded almost immediately after Walker’s public statement, quickly announcing an Assembly Select Committee, to be headed by Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt (R-Fond du Lac), a former educator of 22 years, and a Senate Select Committee, to be headed by Sen. Paul Farrow (R-Pewaukee). The two committees will jointly hold their first hearing on Common Core State Standards this Thursday, October 3rd, from noon until 8:00pm in Madison at the State Capitol, with additional hearings to be announced. In speaking with the committee chairs’ offices, we’re told they pushed the hearing time back from what was…
