The House decided to send it to the Committee on Appropriations. We're not sure if it will go to a sub-committee or when it will be heard in Appropriations. Right now, we're watching to see where it will be assigned before we make calls or send e-mails. We'll let you know as soon as possible. Ben Pam,

Do we need to make phone calls before this Friday morning (FEB 1)? There are many homeschoolers in TOOL that would benefit greatly from this bill. Please let me know how we can support and who we can call and we can put the word out across our homeschool loop to lend support via email and phone calls. Thank-you! Pam Ben,

We also appreciate your help in identifying the author! Several of us looked online and didn't find her name -- leave it to a great bunch of homeschool moms to ferret out the information! We have now changed the post to reflect Nicole Johnson's authorship. Thank you, Nicole, for encouraging all of us moms who sometimes feel invisible.

Since we've made calls to the subcommittee on HB 375 and we believe we will have the votes to get the sports access bill out of committee, it won't be necessary to call all the committee members.

I am also convinced that the writer, having a new understanding of her role as a mother, wishes to remain an invisible blessing to others through this piece. If the author is reading this, thank you, your words have touched my life.

Some online research turned up the author as Nicole Johnson. It is an excerpt from a book. I loved this piece. Some online research turned up the author as Nicole Johnson.

I've loved this little story for years. However, I believe that authorship should be credited where it is due. It is my understanding that this was written by Nicole Johnson, the dramatists for Women of Faith. I saw her perform it at a Women of Faith conference in Charlotte, NC about five or six years ago. It was awesome. I'm not sure how this story keeps getting separated from her name, but I thought you should know! Thanks, Dana Hello! I’ve loved this little story for years.
