I'm only whole because of Him. He's filled in the gaping holes in my broken humanness.<BR/><BR/>We can all see Him rescuing us repeatedly if we look closely enough.Amy Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980921368244489071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725969298370710261.post-55152687997305933732007-05-13T20:05:00.000-05:002007-05-13T20:05:00.000-05:00Scribe, that's interesting about your nearly not ...Scribe, that's interesting about your nearly not surviving infancy. I was in a similar situation. Born 6 weeks premature--not a big deal now, but in 1968, scary. I was a lovely azure to royal blue color at birth and requires a series of blood transfusions. Doctors were afraid I might not grow the way a normal child develops, that I might be smallish. So much for that, eh?<BR/><BR/>God clearly had a plan for you, Scribe. I for one am glad He pulled you through.WayneThomasBatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837713579691260482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725969298370710261.post-5524688680563714042007-05-11T20:38:00.000-05:002007-05-11T20:38:00.000-05:00That's amazing!

I latch on to whatever grabs her interest and brush aside for later the things that she isn't at least a little into. I also try to find new and creative ways of presenting the information. I'm a hands-on mom to begin with. I just hope it'll translate over to teacher. <BR/><BR/>It's so cool to get the other side of the homeschooling gig.

I remember going to the local art museum here and not wanting to leave the ARMS & ARMOR exhibit (remember # 6?) So, Mom switched the study for that day and we stayed the entire time down in the lovely basement of the museum pouring over the exhibit. And then, the next week we came back with several co-op families and sketched the armor for (history and art) We designed our own coat of arms (social science and history), we checked out "CASTLE" by David Macaulay (reading and history), we made some medieval treats( history and home ec), we learned about the black plague (history and science). And it was then that I really fell in love with learning. I couldn't get enough and from then on I have absolutely loved learning---when I can do it on my terms. ;)everlastingscribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390789953931295135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725969298370710261.post-62349925942291617572007-05-10T12:01:00.000-05:002007-05-10T12:01:00.000-05:00I'm hoping to homeschool all the way through highs...I'm hoping to homeschool all the way through highschool. My daughter loves it and so do I. Colleges are getting easier for homeschooled kids to get into nowadays.<BR/><BR/>A student of life is exactly what I'm hoping to show her. I personally hope to never stop learning.Amy Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980921368244489071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725969298370710261.post-24455578555665874852007-05-09T23:29:00.000-05:002007-05-09T23:29:00.000-05:00Homeschooling!

I really do think that homeschooling has made me a 'lifetime student' and I can't imagine anything better than that. <BR/><BR/>Yup, though the reading skill also comes in handy when you want to know what the teacher is writing on your paper. ;)everlastingscribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390789953931295135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725969298370710261.post-57825080931502391432007-05-09T23:04:00.000-05:002007-05-09T23:04:00.000-05:00Me too for #3.

Which did you prefer?<BR/><BR/>Reading all different directions must make it easy to peek over at someone's magazine in the dentist's office when all the good ones are taken. :)Amy Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980921368244489071noreply@blogger.com
