ed his opinion in the case and ruled in our favor!!! The ruling means that we have won the right to have a preliminary injunction. We have not won the case as a whole. A preliminary injunction is just that: a temporary order saying that, while the case continues, we can put up the posters to advertise National Day of Prayer, and we can use the words “God”, “Pray” and theme Bible verses!!!
Although the case is not over, this is a significant victory because, in order to grant a preliminary injunction, the judge must believe that we will likely (not certainly, but likely) win the whole case. The judge is basically offering a prediction on whether he thinks we will win, and he has said yes.
How in the world can I thank you for praying with us and standing with us? When I heard this news, I was shopping at Hobby Lobby, and could hardly wait to get home and fall on my face in grateful thanksgiving to the Lord!
A few weeks ago, I memorized and claimed ahead in faith the truth in Psalm 59:9. But tonight, I saw this truth “fleshed out”. “Oh my Strength, I will watch and give heed to you and sing praises; for God is my Defense (my Protector and High Tower).”
Thanks for being our friends and for walking beside us in this battle. It’s not over, so please don’t stop praying! But, a little victory was won, and I wanted you to know about it and to glorify the Lord with us!
Here is the link to the ADF press release that went out tonight. At the bottom of the story, there is a link to the Judges’ decision (all 39 pages) if you’re so inclined to read them. 🙂

PRAISE THE LORD !!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A WAY TO END THE WEEK…..WE CONTINUE TO PRAY!!!!!!!!!! WE WILL GAIN THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!
O Lord, how Mighty are Your Works … in Wisdom You have ordained them for the Glory of Your Name!!!!
Thank You, thank You, thank You… Now Lord, we ask You to set all the remaining things in order, meet any additional obstacles with the Voice of Truth, tear down enemy strongholds, triumphing over them by the Blood of Your Cross.
Another full heart here praising Him and rejoicing with you dears and everyone who cherishes teaching Truth to our children,
Let the winsomeness of Christ rest upon us so that those who are inclined to be critical would turn toward You instead.
Lord, preserve us, strengthen and grow our numbers for the sake of Your Love and Life-filled Name, the only Name that saves.
Thank You, Jesus!!! Amen.

Jen,
Just read your blog this morning over my coffee!! Yeah! Just in time
for national day of prayer! Isn’t God so good? Always in perfect time!
Do you have any idea how long it will be until the official verdict will
be given? I hope it will be soon! Love you and am so happy. Thanks for

for Jesus and our rights. Have a great weekend.
