websites you will like (to help you)

Below is a list of websites I trust will bless you or someone in your family, in some way.
I cannot say I fully endorse all that is on these websites. (That's true of any website I share a link to.) But some of these have really blessed me!
And I know the young man who "owns" the business on one of these sites.
One endorsement: I highly recommend Salem Ridge Press!

Some of these websites have been shared with me by another home-educating mom, or on another website I was on. What a blessing when folks "network" and share about websites of others they learn about!
Others have been found as a result of someone speaking at a special event, like a homeschool bookfair.

Hope some site in this list will be "new" to you, so you can find another helpful resource you did not know about, before. To me, that's a special blessing.

This link takes you to only one page on a good website. I like this page, among others here, because it has planning pages on it, ... showing the entire month at one glance. ;o)

http://specialneedshomeschooling.com/?page_id=161
This is a website for homeschoolers who have children with special needs.

http://www.freechristianaudiobooks.com/
This has Christian audio recordings of such men as Andrew Murray and Charles Spurgeon, among others. What a blessing this site is!

http://www.homeschool.com/articles/top100-2009/default.asp
This is a link to only one page on a great website! This page shares the top 100 websites for 2009.

http://www.salemridgepress.com/index.html
This site offers some great books that you, or your children, can read and enjoy!

http://www.backtothebible.org/index.php/Table/Gateway-to-Joy/
Elisabeth Elliot (Gren)'s "old" radio program -- transcripts only, I think -- called Gateway to Joy. This is a real gem! Am thankful this ministry has saved these archives from Mrs. Elliot Gren's former radio program. Our family was so blessed, when we used to get to hear her share lessons God had taught her, as well as special stories around holiday times like December (birth of Yeshua / Jesus) and March-April (Crucifixion / Resurrection).

http://creation.com/
Look for "the Homeschool Corner" on the main page of this website
This website is filled with wonderful, educational material! Please check this out!

http://www.jonesgeniuses.com/
We know the man whose site this is. He has figured out some wonderful things to help parents help their children learn much in a short time!

http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/
This site shares recipes & their ideas about putting together a mix to make bread dough, and then putting it into the refrigerator, and taking some of it, each day, to bake some bread that's tasty and healthy, too.

regarding how to protect your family's health & yours

We all live very busy lives. We do want to make good, wise decisions.
Regarding vaccinations, and "the swine flu scare," we all need to know the facts.
Below are a few more website links, and several videos, which should help you in decisions you will need to make.
These websites were shared by folks who are very well informed about this area of information and knowledge. This has to do with American vaccines. If you are in another country, I do not know what is being done in your country. These may help you, but these should be of interest to people in America (the United States, for as long as we may continue to call it that).

Not sure who else is very much aware already of the various medical personnel who are strongly against vaccinating, but ... thought you may want to know about the first link (below) to a webpage with several videos on it.
Some of you may already be aware of this. For those who had not yet become aware of this information, am sharing it in hopes it will help someone make a wise, informed decision.

http://www.alfalaq.webs.com/vaccinemedicaldangers.htm

Below is another link with a video which is quite informative.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTgyakGAddM

(yes, I do realize the subtitles are in Spanish. But the speakers on the video do speak in English.)

Below are links for two pages on the website of an organization (Natural Solutions Foundation) that has been sharing very helpful, accurate medical information, keeping many informed about the swine flu "scare."

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3901

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=219

Please read what you can benefit from on these, for your better health and for the protection of your children.

Some of these sites contain information I would not endorse. Please overlook what you disagree with (with regard to requests for money you don't have, or are not able to send; they are only trying to defend each person's legal right, under our U. S. Constitution, to choose whether or not to be vaccinated. It is not legally necessary for anyone to receive any vaccination, even those which are supposedly "the law" in many, or most, U. S. states. This is true.
For the most part, what is shared (medically and regarding informed consent, and making one's own medical decisions oneself) on these websites has been proven by other evidence, from others, to be accurate and truthful.

Just wanting to help you and your family.

There are many other informative websites & youtube videos on this topic. These were recent ones.
Those who disagree (on this "issue"), please take it to The Lord on your knees. He alone has all the wisdom any of us needs, to do the right thing.

May God bless you in all you do for His glory!

Knowing the truth will only help you to make a decision you will not regret.
Thinking you have no "other" options, when someone tells you you "need" to be vaccinated, is not the truth.
Please do all you can, by using all available resources you trust, to do what you believe is right, about you and your family's health decisions.

http://www.knowledgequestmaps.com/
Knowledge Quest Maps is Terri Johnson's amazing
geographical treasure chest, to me! She has materials
I wish I had had in the 1990s, when I was teaching our
first 3 children! oh my! Now, I can use what Terri has
designed with our next 3 students! Praise the Lord!
Her blank maps ... are great fun for all 3 of my children
to write on. With copies we make, we can use them over
and over, even including different land features, or other
information, for other studies, such as our family travels,
in some cases! And the maps with the names for cities or
rivers, or other geographical information filled in, ... bring
a big smile to a teacher's face! They are so easy to use,
along with most any curriculum or history book! I have
not found such helpful maps elsewhere in this format!
Please visit her site, and also visit her blog, for more ideas!
http://knowledgequestmaps.blogspot.com/
Terri is a generous lady, offering great deals on her thorough,
helpful materials, that help in teaching both world and U.S.
history !
Thank you, Terri, for doing such a good job at what you do!

I very much appreciate the work Dennis and his family have
done to produce and offer so many wonderful, high-quality
books to parents who educate their children at home, and
anyone else who appreciates God-honoring books.
(we know Dennis personally)
Thank you, Dennis !

Heart of Dakota Publishing

a very well-done, and do-able (for busy mommas)
curriculum, using literature studies to enhance
your "teaching time" ( I call it )
For example, in her "Hearts For Him Through Time:
Creation to Christ," you will find the following:
She includes daily lesson "plans" written "for you"
with readings from living history "spines" (she says),
and she includes "poetry, math, science and
all areas of language arts" "scheduled for you"
allowing you "to do the subjects in any order."
This will save you much time! She has done
the work of planning it out "for" you!
Check out this curriculum!

*free* blogging sites

Though I do not endorse all that is on any of the websites below, these have been shared by others, with me, so I can pass them on to you.
If you are wanting to "begin blogging," you may find one of these websites to enable you to do that, for no cost to you, at this point in time, ... and ... some are "simpler" to use, than others.
You decide which one fits your need. ;o) (big grin)

www.multiply.com

www.vox.com

(the rest on this list also begin with "www." but I have omitted that, trusting that the links will still work for you. If they do not, leave me a comment, and I will "fix" them.)

plurk.com

livejournal.com

tumblr.com

myblogsite.com

edublogs.org

blogger.com

blogs.com

blog.com

blogr.com

blogster.com

bravenet.com

bloki.com

etribes.com
(European?)

clearblogs.com

shoutpost.com

weebly.com

(Windows Live Spaces) is
known as "spaces.live.com"

zoomshare.com

youfem.com

freewebs.com
(now, it may be called webs.com
. You can still type in "freewebs" in a "good search" you
are doing, or in a search you're doing on "google," and
the result will still be that you get to the same place ...
with a new name)

There are also some 'ning' social networks which
also serve as simple ways to blog. You may choose
which 'ning' network fits your priorities and beliefs.
For example, one for those who home educate is
called The Homeschool Lounge. The link is:
http://www.thehomeschoollounge.com/

Another 'ning' network is called: Swap Savers.
It is for dads and moms who like to save money
or who use coupons, when making purchases
in retail stores, or online. The link is:
http://www.swapsavers.com/

Another 'ning' network is called: A Virtuous
Woman. (though I do not agree with the religious
beliefs of its founder, I do agree with the general
idea of encouraging other ladies to pursue
developing the heart of a virtuous woman, as
described and shared about in various places in
God's Word, including one description of a
virtuous woman, who is far above rubies, in
Solomon's Proverb 31, verses 10-31.
http://avirtuouswoman.ning.com/

There are others. I've thought of setting one
up, but have found that my time is already
pushed to its limit, just keeping up with "the
evil generation" that tries to "manipulate the
masses" to "achieve their wicked goals" for
this world and its corrupt governing system.

Enjoy it as you begin your blogging journey,
or as you see The Lord "extend" or "expand"
your area of influence, by sharing your
thoughts, and those of others you agree with,
on your blog!

God is behind all those who wish to reach the
lives of others for His Son's Kingdom, because
the souls you let God win to His Loving Heart
through you are the treasures (the fruit) you
get to see in Heaven! On earth, as a true believer
in The Lord Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ),
you may be the seed sower. Or you may be the
one who waters that seed. Or you may be the
one who adds to that seed's growth. Or you may
be the one who gets to see that seed come to
fruition, in the life of one who accepts The Lord's
free gift of salvation (redemption, through Yeshua's /
Jesus' Blood He shed, in our place, on the Roman
execution stake, about 2,000 years ago. He paid it all!),
and who surrenders his or her life to Yeshua (Jesus)
as Lord and Saviour / Redeemer. He is God's only-
begotten Son, The true Lamb of God, Who takes
away the sins of the world!

May God richly bless your day, filling it with His
Shalom Peace (in you), and with His mighty,
enabling Grace, to help you along the pathway!
_________________________________

* Note: I will try to check the links, to see if they all
work. (in the next 48 hours, or less)
Please be patient with me. I do have a "real life"
other than blogging! (hee hee!) ;o) (big grin) You do,
too! ;o) (smile for the camera, please!)
