All I can say is WOW!!! I have been in a whirlwind for the last few days. Training Hearts and the team (which includes me and two others, but I can't name them yet) have been working night and day to get the Blogger Friend School off the ground! Excuse me while I shout YES!!!!!!!!! and jumping in the air raising my hands to the Heavens! This year in the BFS we've decided to do a Marketing Slogan year...you'll see all the details when you go to the link below. It's going to be soooo much fun!
What's impossible when God is in it....NOTHING!!!!
So, you want the scoop? We have a giveaway to announce FIRST thing. In honor of BFS's 3rd year anniversary and to announce the new website, new graphics (on the right sidebar) and new style of assignments we have a contest for all the participants. It's so easy to enter.
How to enter?
1. READ the Class Description page and ADD the Blogger Friend School Graphic of your choice in the sidebar of your blog!
2. Post an ENTRY on your blog and announce that you are enrolled in the 2008-2009 Blogger Friend School and are participating in the Back to School Giveaway!
3. Come back HERE and sign the Mr. Linky with the direct link to your post.
****This will get you 1 entry into the contest!****
Want to earn more chances??? September is our Back to School Month and you will have 5 Homework Assignments to post on your blog. For each assignment that you complete and Sign Mr. Linky, you will receive 1 more entry into the drawing! This makes it possible to earn 6 entries/per Homeschooling Mom!
Drawing will be randomly chosen on October 6, 2008 from all qualified participating Homeschool Moms across the globe! Teachers are not eligible for drawing but I'm sure will be promoting the fun!
And in our marketing slogan year.....Staples would say, "that was easy!" hmm....another famous marketing line, "many will enter only 1 will win!"
and you know I am looking forward to BFS again. I'm sorry I haven't been by much this summer, but I now have a work at home job and am still learning the ins and outs of that along with schooling. Hope you are doing well.
Blessings as always,
Ginny
Oh...I'm blonde all right. Just ask anyone who has known me long enough - not just because my hair is that color either. I like to blame it on my pregnancies, six pregnancies will kill plenty of brain cells - believe me, I've never recovered!
I made a little change with my Friends List. It's on the left side and to open it just click on the word "Friends" and it pops out! Neat, huh! To close it click on it again! Thank you

Seven Steps to Raising Godly Children
Principle - Impart God's word on your children and live in a way that you are their greatest example of what a Christ-abiding parent should be.
Pattern - Teach your children a pattern of prayer; when to pray, how to pray, and why prayer is important.
Persistence - Don't ever give up...teach your children to always have faith and not to give up when things get hard.
Participation - Our children crave our attention! The way our children see us is the way they'll see God in thier lives.
Praise - Encourage children, praise them when they do something right and help them when they have a hard time.
Prayer - Teach your children to pray and then to TRUST God for the outcome.
Priority - Make God the Head and Heart of your home and let them live with God's desire coming first in your lives.
