Homeschool Blog Awards 2005
I think this is a go. I work out all the details and post on Monday. I have someone working on buttons. The winners will also be in my column for the Spring issue of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. This will be a great way to give these great bloggers the extra boost they deserve.
Time to Blog
Every once in a while someone asks how I have time to blog. Here's my answers.
I have a sister who loves to quilt. She spends hours piecing together carefully selected fabric into a beautiful design. She hopes that these quilts will become heirlooms to the next generation. I don't quilt I blog. However, I view my activity the same way she does hers. It is a labor of love for my children. Spunkyhomeschool is a patchwork of posts pieced together to pass down to the next generation. Psalm 78 says,

So the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.What I write each day, I write for them. I don't want to forget the things God has taught me. I want them to know them too. I want them to know what I believe and why I believe it. Some posts they will understand now. Some won't be useful until they are parents themselves. Some will be just little bits of history so they will understand the times in which we live. But I blog for them.

There is just so much to share with our children about what God has done and is doing. The blog is just another way to share it with them and your children will just be extra blessed since their mother is the Queen of Blogs.

to put it, I love the idea of blogging being like quilting.
Lovely.

You write because you are a writer ... not the other way 'round. It's who you are, and a talent the Master Author has given you. We're blessed to be able to read your expressions. Just as we are blessed to enjoy a beautiful painting, a perfect loaf of bread, or your sister's quilts.
You're dead on about writing for future generations and posterity. It's really interesting to look back at the things we have written in younger years. What a glimpse into more than just the past, but into our very souls. When I read things my grandmother wrote before I was even born, we are connected in a way that simply talking could never do.
How blessed your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will be to really know you through your writing!
