Hi everyone. We are in our fifth year of homeschooling. I would love to say that they have been great and successful years; sadly I can't. I was really struggling with pulling together cirriculum and materials on my own. I could...

maildumpster I strongly recommend it. It is a self teaching curriculum so it makes things a bit easier. VERY heavy on reading though. The price is real good too!

As some of you already know, I have a steady stream of guests visiting as we host working holidaymakers, so I'm always on the look out for budget friendly big appetite meal ideas. Well I've got a new challenge approaching as I am...

maildumpster I use tvp in things where I won't notice it. My favorite is the chili. I have also tossed some in meatloaf (ok so that is not a vegan recipe) I do that to extend the meat AND to lower the fat content. I have tossed it into tomato sauce too for mock meat sauce....

maildumpster You'll have to forgive me. I hadn't read your replies to people. Then got distracted and forgot to post that I saw that.

I know Christians and Jews alike have songs of praise to God. I am assuming other religions do to in some fashion. My question is primarily to Christiams but open to all. I am sure you praise God for what he does in your life...

maildumpster I am so sorry things are going badly for you. I know it is hard to believe God is there with good intentions. He is though. It is ok to have those feelings and to express them. I don't know a a single person who believes in God that has not at some time done...

maildumpster There are many different ways of learning. Even within the school setting; the teacher/books provide the information, it is still up to the child to learn it. So self teaching is really a natural extension of a child's desire to learn. We all have it in us....

There are so many discussions regarding the 'truth' of the Bible. The righteousness of Christians. The loving nature of the Christian interpretation of God. This list just struck my funny bone. I am not trying to start a...

maildumpster Yes and this just goes to show how narrowminded some are toward Christians to believe this applies to us all.

I wonder how many people really mean it when they say "if there is anything I can do to help; let me know". I know that when I say it I mean it. If there is something I can not do for the person I tell them upfront. Say they...

maildumpster Sounds like you and I have had similar experiences. I spent a month in the hospital during my pregnancy. We had no money as my hubby had lost his job. I could not get the tv in my room cause of this. My sil knew this and yet kept saying if you need anything...

maildumpster I am sure that most people have said it at least once and not meant it. As you say out of courtesy. I fully understand about people abusing it. Just seems like all people have something they can do to help a person. Sometimes all they can do is listen and...

maildumpster Why would you make promises you don't intend to keep? Wouldn't it be better to just say you are not comfortable helping or even you don't want to help; than to be seen as someone who is not true to his word? I certainly understand about being used. It has...

maildumpster Honestly I am not too upset about people not helping me. Have grown used to it over the years. Just was curious. I am like you; I mean what I say. There is an expression I am trying to get my daughter to remember .... Say what you mean and mean what you...

maildumpster Thanks for the sympathy. It helps knowing people care. Turn on some worship music and let the spirit grab you! One that I really like (and really did not like when I first heard it) is "Mourning into Dancing".

maildumpster Amen! Prayer is our way of talking to our Lord. It is a wonderful thing! Sometimes though we just need to praise our way to joy! Thank God we can do just that!

maildumpster Isn't God awesome? I love how when we praise him it brings us healing. I listen to many types of music and even my favorites don't uplift me the way praise and worship music can!!

maildumpster Don' tthink I caught it but I have not been here in quite a while. OSAS? Kind of. I believe that the Grace of our Lord is sufficient for the forgiveness of sins. I do not believe that you can just accept Jesus be saved and then run around sinning like a bunch...
