Just When You Thought the Voting Was Over!

While everyone has been so focused on the 2008 Presidential Elections for the past few months, we at the HSBA Post have been working overtime preparing all of the nominations and checking to make sure the blogs qualify and setting up poll… well, Heather, Dawn, Dianne and Lisa have done much of it, but it has been a lot of worked that has paid off!
You can now go over to the Homeschool Blog Awards and check out all the Nominees!
Voting ends at midnight on November 21.

    Thanks for mentioning Life Nurturing Education. I really appreciate it.

    Still have so many decision to make. Thankfully, the fate of a nation doesn’t depend on these votes. It makes it a lot easier. ;)

    :BG: No kidding! I am glad we planned this right after the Election, just to let the pressures off and have some fun!!

    I think these decisions are even harder, because so many of them ARE GOOD!! No lesser of two(or more) evils here!

    :)
    Thanks for coming by Renae!

Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!
and you are to love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding, and with all your strength.' 6 These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; 7 and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
{Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Mark 12:28-30}

Welcome

Welcome to my online home, Walking Therein. I am a 40-something wife and Momma, trying to walk therein, squeezing in moments of Scripture reading, praise and worship and just quiet between the breastfeeding, child training, cooking, cleaning, child training, laundry, home school, child training, online ministries, and spending individual moments with hubby, adult children, Middles, Littles, and the infant.
Tis the life the Father gave me, and I am blessed to walk in it.
Did I mention the child training?

"Who am I? Nobody special; just a flawed wife and mom, daughter, sister, and friend chosen by YHVH to follow and tell about him."

I am a Believer in the one true God and the Messiah, his Son, whose name is Yehoshua. We keep his commandments because that is what his people do.
"...God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise Yehoshua's faithfulness."
Revelation 12, 14, 22

Jacque Mrs. Jacque Dixon and her husband, Matt are busy preparing and training their nine children up in YHVH's narrow way. We are currently living and home schooling in Costa Rica, sharing our love of Torah online. Walking Therein is where Jacque writes encouraging articles of faith, home schooling and the daily adventures of the Dixon family, with a mix of news and reviews also thrown in from time to time.
