At every level of government, our rights as citizens and parents are ignored and usurped by power-hungry politicians. Our news media, universities, and entertainers actively wage war against God’s Word and those who live by it. And our children are confronted daily by the lies of evolution and the horrific realities of its “survival of the fittest” ideology.
In an effort to provide encouragement, hope, and practical instruction to Christian families, Vision Forum is pleased to release five new DVDs. These timely presentations will equip your family to understand our culture’s most critical battles and biblically fight for the rights granted to us by God, rights recognized and preserved for us by our Founding Fathers.
*Note: (If I don’t have winner’s name and address by early the 15th, this offer becomes null and void.)

Bosch Plus with Blender
$30 Instant Rebate
Want to get mom what she really wants - and get a price break for dad? O.K. maybe she really wants a trip to Hawaii or something, but there aren’t too many moms that wouldn’t really like a nice all-in-one Kitchen Center, and Bosch is the best.
Heavy duty - mix up to 6 loaves of bread, make quadruple batches of cookies, or whip an egg white, or blend a smoothie. Reliable - you don’t hear about these needing repairs. I’ve got customers who have had theirs 2 or 3 decades and never a problem. They’re a great workhorse, handling the heavy jobs year after year.
This is Read an E-Book Week. How did I ever almost miss such an important event? Well, we certainly can’t let it pass us by without doing something, can we? So… here are some ideas to help you celebrate “Read an E-Book Week!”
But, before I give you some options, why eBooks? Here’s 5 good reasons.
- Time. No waiting around to get your books in the mail - or taking the time and money to go to the bookstore - to get started. Download today - and at many places, including all the free ones, immediately. Your book is only a click away.
- Space. Those books take up a lot less space on the computer than on the bookshelf.
- Security. Even when you print the book to read it, you still have a back-up copy on the computer, in case something happens to your hard copy.
- Availability. Many great old, out of print books aren’t available (are very hard to find, cost prohibitive prices, etc.) in hard copy. E-Books may be your only chance to get them.
- Cost. Many of these books are FREE, and others are cheaper than the hard copy would be.
Does this mean I think eBooks are the way to go all out? No. eBooks have their place and they have some great reasons to utilize them. But they also have their limitations and drawbacks. I don’t ever want hard copy books to be replaced by eBooks. But I’ll save that for another day, or you can read what I’ve written about it in the past, on my Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ blog. For today, we are focusing on the positive benefits, and some great ways to use them. Read on.
Me and My House provides many options for you. Currently we are offering a Sampler of Freedom & Simplicity™ in HisStory, FREE for subscribing to our FREE monthly e-newsletter. We also have a great sale going this entire month on the 3 L.E.D. HisStory e-resources. You have many other e-resource options from Me and My House also, for home education, home management, and Good for You-Naturally!™ nutrition. You don’t even need a holiday to enjoy these resources.
If you are into holidays there is one coming up in a week, and you can get FREE e-book resources to help you celebrate - and study them. Click on over to CurrClick and get Hands of a Child’s St. Patrick’s Day Lapbook for FREE this week. And scroll down the page while you’re there to get Living Books Curriculum’s St. Patrick’s Holiday Helper, also FREE.
But it doesn’t stop there. Anytime, any week, click over to our eBook site links page for a great list of websites where you can get great ebooks - FREE.

Little things can be such blessings. This one is both little and free, but I am blessed none-the-less.
I just found out that SermonAudio has an interface for my iPod Touch (and the iPhone). Whoo-hoo! I can listen (and also save my favorites) anytime without downloading to my computer first and syncing.
I love SermonAudio for great teaching of God’s Word, and I love my iPod Touch for being SO handy and useful to me. Put the 2 together and WOW! I’m blessed!

It’s time! I decorate wholly with Nativities this time of year. I LOVE the Incarnation of Emmanuel (even though I don’t particularly care for it being celebrated at a time we know he wasn’t born.) But I’ll take any opportunity that I can get to preach Christ!
I’ve added at least 1 Nativity each year that we’ve been married. We have over 35 nativities!
One problem you can run into in doing this is small children. We have plenty - and have had all but the first of those 31 years - and now have grands too. So I’ve looked for and added plenty of “child proof” nativities that they can handle for those places that are “in-reach” of the little ones. I put my glass “pretties” up higher.
We have wooden nativities, plastic nativities, resin nativities, fabric nativites in addition to the more fragile glass, ceramic, and pine cone nativities.
I highly recommend having a child-proof nativity that your children can play with and reenact the story of Jesus birth. This will help them to interact in the meaning of Christmas for themselves, rather than seeing that the “Jesus” part is something for grown-ups that “we can’t touch”. And leaving them to only the “gift-getting” part.
Here’s a whole section of Children’s Nativities. Yes, our children have the twaddly plastic “Veggie Tales” one, in addition to others. Order one today - for your decorating, and as a gift to your children that shows the true meaning of the HolyDay and that they can play with.
AND if you order through ANY of our CBD links (which the Nativities below are) you can get FREE shipping with a $25 or more order, until Dec. 8th. Just choose Standard Shipping for your order, and enter the Promo Code:
You can also use our CBD Search Boxes or any of the links on our Recommended Resources catalog pages, to order Christian books, music, videos, gifts, and homeschool resources.
Here’s a couple I like and below are pictures of my Nativities (from a few years ago.)
| Wooden Nativity Playset By The Learning JourneyInvite young children to experience first-hand the birth of Jesus! With highly durable, quality wood construction, this 19-piece nativity set will provide hours of fun. It includes a three-dimensional stable and figures. Recommended for ages 3 and up. |

Nativity Puppet Glove Set By Roman, Inc.Children can reenact the Nativity story with cute and fuzzy puppet gloves, each finger featuring a felt character from the story. Child size gloves are suitable for Sunday School, for children to play with in church, and for making the Christmas story come to life for little learners. |
Our Nativities
Last year I posted notice that the government had once again overstepped their bounds and in cohorts with the CA Almond Board made a ruling that almonds must be pasteurized. This does not need to be noted on the label AND the label can still state "raw" almonds.
- "The new rules do not require the disclosure that in fact these almonds have been pasteurized by either high heat, a nerve gas-like agent, or radiation." - http://organicpastures.com/
- "a requirement that raw almonds be treated with propylene oxide (a toxic fumigant recognized as a carcinogen by the EPA) or steam-heated before they can be sold to American consumers." - http://www.cornucopia.org/
This of course did not make people happy - growers/ small handlers nor those that know the importance of raw food sources for health, conscientious consumers.
At the time I learned of this ridiculous, controlling law I passed on to you some sources for obtaining truly raw almonds, unpastuerized, direct from the grower. Now I’m hearing that even the grower cannot not ship directly to the consumer, who has knowingly and intelligently chosen to buy unpastuerized almonds, but that they only way they can sell them is directly on location.
I’m checking into this, to see if we can still purchase unpastuerized almonds. http://organicpastures.com & http://www.realrawfood.com/wholesale-raw-nuts.htm#almonds still have them on their site - which appears to be good news. dansranch.com still offers them if you can pick them up at the ranch.
