Instead of the usual blog about my homeschool life experiences, I've felt the need for a support site for other single homescooling moms. I hope you will find encouragement here and pass it on too! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:49:00 -0600 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:49:00 -0600 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat             1 Jan Brett's Birthday 2 National Fritters Day 3 International Day of Disabled Persons 4 National Cookie Day   /  Wear Brown Shoes Day 5 Walt Disney's Birthday 6 St Nicholas Day 7 Pearl Harbor Day 8 National Brownie Day Eli Whitney's Birthday, 1765   9 Ball-bearing Roller Skates Pantented, 1884 10 Emily Dickinson's Birthday 11 National Noodle-Ring Day 12 Poinsettia Day 13 Dick Van Dyke's Birthday 14 South Pole Discovered, 1911 15 Bill of Rights Day National Lemon Cupcake Day   16 National Chocolate Covered Anything Day Boston Tea Party Beethoven's Birthday   17 National Maple Syrup Day Wright Brothers Day   18 Bake Cookies Day 19 National Oatmeal Muffin Day 20 Louisiana Purchase Edison 1st Publicly Demonstrated Light Bulb 21 Pilgrims Landed, 1620 22 1st Christmas Lights for Sale, 1882   James Edward Oglethorpe's Birthday 23 Transistor Invented 24 'Twas the Night Before Jesus Came 25 Merry Christmas 26 National Candy Cane Day 27 Visit the Zoo Day 28 Pledge of Allegiance Recognized 29 Texas Admission Day 30 Rudyard Kipling's Birthday   31 Happy New Year             http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/434310/ Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:49:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/434310/ From Turning Points... We have centers for everything; ministry centers, childcare centers, convention centers, medical centers, and shopping centers.  There's the Lincoln Center in New York, the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, the National Hurricane Center in Miami, and the Kennedy Center in Washington. The word center comes from a Greek term meaning a prick or sharp point, specifically the exact point marking the middle of a geometric circle. If something is the center, everything else revolves around it.  Just as the planets orbit around the sun, our habits, hearts, affections, and thoughts must revolve around the Lord Jesus, who is the ultimate center of all.  (Colosians 1:17) The French writer Fenelon advised us to become so commited to God's glory that all other motives pale in comparison, saying, "It is then that God becomes...the center of the soul to which all its affections tend..." When we're self-centered, we're self-deceived.  When He is central, we can have confidence that He is in control and that our worlds are aligned correctly. Romans 11:36  For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be the glory forever, Amen. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/434307/ Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:41:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/434307/ Colossians Ch. 1 v. 9-14.“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. ……... For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/433658/ Mon, 26 Nov 2007 08:06:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/433658/ My prayer for this site is that it will grow to be a place of support and encouragement to all moms, but especially single moms.  We need a place to share ideas, be encouraged, and give others support too.  I haven't found such a place so decided it was time to create one!  I'd love to host a place where mom's can swap things too.  Help me fan this flame and see where God takes us! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/433644/ Mon, 26 Nov 2007 07:28:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sms/433644/
