My Adaptation of a Christmas Classic

(sing this to the tune of "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!")

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
And the heat is so delightful!
I can't imagine having no home...
When it's cold, oh, so cold, yes, it's cold!

It doesn't show signs of warming;
The snow is so disarming.
But for those out there with no home,
It's so cold, way too cold, oh, it's cold!

    When we finally hear God's voice
    Asking us to step outside of ourselves,
    We are being given quite a choice:
    Ignore Him or help His children!

The fire inside is growing,
And it's Jesus' love that's showing.
And all the people out in the cold...
Feel God's love, His precious love, His real love.

Nashville: visit Labor of Love on Facebook to help the tent cities' homeless men and women.  I know real people involved in this, so help in confidence.  Also, my church, Grace Chapel, helps the hungry and the homeless and are in need of donations since the number of people in need keeps growing.  In Spring Hill, The Well Food Pantry is running low and is in need of donations to continue serving families in need.

Everyone else: find some local church, shelter, food pantry and help out.  Imagine if everyone with a job gave a dollar ($1) to a local crisis center/food pantry/homeless shelter/church charity... how affordable is that?  And how WELL would we help those in need with that little bit multiplied like that??  I believe that would be WELL-fare.

How Has Homeschooling Affected My Life?

Well, homeschooling IS my life, so suffice it to say, there's no stone unturned!  Massive takeover, at times, a bit hostile!! For example, my second child was getting ready to embark on Mother's Day Out and my first child was conveniently ensconced in a Government-run "educational" facility, and I had a glimmer of real freedom... for about a day.  Then I found out I was preggo with Baby #3.  Commence Meltdown. I have since gotten over that traumatic , er, beautiful time, and we have embraced homeschooling.  The freedom never came, the oldest got pulled from Uncle Sam's Brainwashing Academy, and the second offspring never entered a public school.  The third will not go away to preschool. They go with me to the doctor.  This, they do not love.  Neither do I. ( Mommy, why is she putting that there?? ) Alas, it is our lot in life... at least until the eldest is of babysitting age. They go with me to the grocery store.  This, they love occasion...

Health Care in the USA

Well, it is time for another political rant, so depending on your standing, you may want to mosey along.... Health care in the United States is apparently in need of an overhaul.  There are few who disagree.  However, the method of that overhaul is in question.  Many would like to use their power in government to take over health care.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are calling it a reform , but it is really just a takeover . So, okay, let's evaluate. Your company, which you have worked for your entire life, is losing money.  It is still afloat, but it isn't doing as well as it could.  You have a couple of choices as a member of the voting board of directors : you could vote in favor of a reevaluation of what is working and what isn't, what rules are already in place that aren't being followed that would benefit your bottom line, and what people in your company are beneficial and what people are detrimental, then you could weed out things and people who aren...

How Do I Know What To Teach?

One question we all seem to ask (or at least wonder about) when we are thinking about homeschooling or we meet someone who does for the first time: how do you know what to teach?   For me, it was " How will i know what to teach? " I believe this to be a valid question because it stems from genuine curiosity and it is mixed with a touch of doubt, generally self-doubt, so it is a fair concern. Traditional Answer: buy a reputable curriculum and follow it to the letter.  As you get the "swing" of things, you will be able to supplement or skip pieces.  This is a valid answer, but it didn't fit our style around here, so.... Less Common Response: learn about whatever the kids are interested in!  What could be more fun than learning everything from the world around you rather than textbooks!?!  Also a valid answer, but it was a bit too loose for me - i am still struggling with my self-doubt too much to lean too heavily on unschooling (as this method is often called)...
