Hello Tishri! And other names I recognize...IITB, vis, and a couple of others. Been a loooong time since I posted here! I guess, a quick update. Wow, how long has it been? I've got 4 kiddos now, we're still homeschooling, we moved to another town in the same state to be closer to family, and...

LOL--I plum forgot about Ahavah the snail! How funny! I've had to swear off those virtual games, as I was putting waaaayyy too much time into my virtual life (like Farmville on FB--dangerous!!), and not nearly enough time into my real life. :blush: We're totally loving hs'ing! We used Sonlight...

Wow, I haven't been here in a long time! Maybe...5 years since I posted here regularly? Goodness, how time flies... All is well here. Still observing the biblical holidays as best we can within our own family. DH is much more open to them than he was, and I've made some compromises, too, in...

We would be a bit of a drive for you...northeast GA...but sounds like you would fit well in our little group. We're located in Habersham County, GA. We meet on Sunday evenings--unless somebody's kids are sick and we don't want to spread germs. :) We have 3 couples and my mom, plus 6 kids...

I feel your pain... :) I think you did a good job following through on the threatened punishment. Our almost-6-yo has also been awfully complainy lately, and I'm wondering where this attitude has come from all of a sudden??!! But you're a good mama--you set a limit and you stuck with it. The...

Very cute! And Wags, your other "kids" have grown so much! I love that pic of Bekah holding the new arrival.

Congrats, Jan--what a blessing! I pray that Abel gets the hang of it soon. I had a lot of trouble nursing my first baby...I know how frustrating and emotionally draining it can be. I pray that you're encouraged and see progress with each successive day. :hugs:

Hi All! I used to hang out here a lot, then got busy with life. (Imagine that.) In case anyone possibly remembers me, I've had my baby--a boy name Daniel. He was born on the first day of Sukkot last fall. He is such a joy, and even with the sleep deprivation, my mommy-heart just melts every...

We're in much the same position...DH tries, but he's not really INto it. The kids think it's fun for a few minutes, since it's something different, but quickly get bored. This year, we didn't do a seder at all. :blush: I'm just tired of pushing it. We did the bare minimum of what's commanded...

With 3 little ones, we're so bad about eating at a regular time anyway...we just eat whenever we can manage to get dinner ready, regardless of the day of the week. Also, we don't really do a regular candle-lighting for Shabbat. I'm usually the driving force behind our observances, and since the...

Thanks, everyone, for all the feedback. This is basically consistent with what we had already found online--it just seemed so bizarre! For some reason, I find it easier to believe in God speaking from a burning bush and angels appearing face-to-face, than in some parchment that would light up...

Hi Folks, One of my sisters came across a passage the other day that mentions the Urim and Thummim (Deut 33, I think?), and she got curious. She went online and found all kinds of incredible interpretations for what these are, including sites that said they were something like a Jewish ouija...

Congrats, Bananna, on your daughter's big event! I haven't been around for a while, but glad to see everyone's getting along fine. I still recognize so many names here, and glad to see you all! I have an announcement of my own...we're expecting baby #3! DH and I started talking about the...

I can completely relate to your comments. Kids were part of my "plan", but I had no idea how all-consuming kids would be. And in the last couple of years, I've been longing for other goals in addition to the kiddies, including a business. Now I'm pg with #3, and we're not sure what will happen...

Thanks, Jane. I kept doing google searches for these kinds of directories...I was really having a hard time finding a good one! Then it's also hard to know what "flavor" of Messianic a group is, until you talk with them. Thank you! Jill
