Calling all Homeschoolers....

In the Trumbull County, Ohio area. After researching online for two hours, I have come to the conclusion that there seems to be no co-op groups here in Trumbull County. Are there any other homeschool groups in Trumbull County?? I have found some in Youngstown, Akron/Kent, Geauga, Lake, Ashtabula Counties, but nothing right in Trumbull County. I know my DD would love to get together for field trips, study groups or just to hang out, and I'm sure other parents would appreciate it as well. I really don't know how to start a co-op, but I would like to have one in Trumbull County so there is minimal travel. (Unless we choose to for a field trip, of course.) I know this is an "out there" thought considering this day-and-age, but if you are interested in getting together, please contact me via email at: seeker4christ@gmail.com and we can get acquainted via email and possibly set up a homeschooling group of some sort right here in Trumbull County. I can verify who I am through my church affiliation if you are hesitant. Contact me for more info.

An Editorial Retraction of sorts

It has come to my attention that many of the things I was lead to believe about President Elect Obama are indeed false. Please check this link. Obama may not be as scary of a person as everyone thinks he is. Although I still do not agree on most of his answers to the national issues, I feel a little better. I know, it is Snopes, but come on, people. I have found legitimate answers to many other urban legends and followed them up further and found Snopes to be a very reliable website. I apologize if I've offended anyone. Not by my opinions, for by and large they stay the same, but if I have mislead anyone into thinking something untruthful about Mr. Obama. Thoughts anyone?

My thoughts on the President-Elect

Number 1: God is in control. God is still God, no matter what. He knew that Mr. Obama would become President, and although we may not see the big picture, God does see it.
2: I will continually and daily pray for the president-elect and this country. Our country needs prayer and salvation. Just because the person most christians wanted for President didn't get elected doesn't mean that we've lost - not by a long shot. Nothing's been "lost" there is still hope for our country. I will not mourn the decision of my neighbors and others I know. God is in control.
3: The time is now, people!! These are end times we are living in. I am feeling convicted even as I type this to get this out. This is not my normal personality. But I cannot keep quiet. If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and have a relationship with Him, if you haven't asked Christ to forgive you of your sins and be Lord of your life, you need to do this NOW. More so now than ever. I implore you, dear family and friends of mine who have not yet made that decision to seek God and what His plans are for your life. Simply going to church on Christmas and Easter is not enough. Church attendance is not enough. That's not what this is about. Its not even about one party winning and the other losing. Its about winning souls for Christ! The song "I Will Not Be Moved" by Natalie Grant sums up my current feelings:

I have been the wayward child
I have acted out
I have questioned Sovereignty
And had my share of doubt
And though sometimes my prayers feel like
They're bouncing off the sky
The hand I hold won't let me go
And is the reason why...

[Chorus:]I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved

Bitterness has plagued my heart
Many times before
My life has been like broken glass
And I have kept the score
Of all my shattered dreams and though it seemed
That I was far too gone
My brokenness helped me to see
It's grace I'm standing on

[Chorus]

And the chaos in my life
Has been a badge I've worn
Though I have been torn
I will not be moved

[Chorus]

I welcome your thoughts and comments on this matter. This is something I have wanted to share for a long time, but have always been afraid to. Not any more.
