Lessons Learned On the Farm

• Sep. 30, 2008 - There ARE some great things on TV!

Last night, I just caught bits and pieces of the new Duggar series 17 Kids and Counting on TLC. It was encouraging to watch and I'm looking forward to seeing all of the episodes. This season, we'll get to see their oldest get engaged, learn how courtship works for their family, and watch as they get together with another mega-family from TN and play paintball. I just love getting to watch this sweet family grow!

Then, this morning I finally got around to watching the Franklin Springs Family Hour show that I taped last Wednesday night. If you have satellite, it's on the NRB network, but I understand that they are also airing the episodes on Sky Angel as well so check your listings. Last week's episode was The Journey Home and concluded with an update from the Waller family. It was just such a huge blessing.

If you can't watch the episodes on TV, you can buy many of their videos in the Schoolhouse Store OR rent them on Netflix. But I'm extra excited because TOS will actually sponsoring 4 of the episodes on TV.

Just thought I'd pass along the news in case any of you were interested! With so much junk on TV, I was just really blessed by the Christian testimonies that are being shared by these programs. What a blessing!

Have you read about this?

The mission of Hopeful Farm is truly unique and much needed as it seeks to provide an all-access environment in which families impacted by special needs may find time to focus on each other, build relationships, and gain refreshment and renewal in an escape from the exhausting grind of everyday life.

This is the first time Hopeful Farm has held a benefit of this magnitude, and you will not believe the resources that are being donated as a thank you for your participation. If you have been wanting some of my writing or drawing products to enrich your home school curriculum, not to mention our resources for mothers and daughters, this is something you have to see! www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/benefit.htm

Not only that, but my publishing friends have donated some incredible resources as well, as a way to bless you for becoming involved in this very important work. Your family can have a direct impact on families with children with special needs - and in return, your own family will receive a blessing from all of the wonderful companies that have offered their products in support of Hopeful Farm.

If you would like to hear what Hopeful Farm is all about, you can access an online interview by Cindy Rushton with my daughter Claire and I at www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/interview.html

Yes, there is some good tv out there. You just have to look a little harder to find it, huh? We have the Duggar series set to record on Tivo (we love Tivo at the Carroll house) and I'll be sure to check out The Franklin Springs Family Hour. Thanks for passing info. about that one along.

Sorry for not logging in. It's late, and I'm exhausted and on my way to bed!
We watched one of the Dugger shows last week, and I've seen a few of their earlier ones. I didn't know it was a regular series, though, so I'll have to check it out to see when it comes on. It's fun to watch. I've never heard of the other one.
