Hello Beloved,
This will be short and sweet.
There are so many people out there that believe that if you homeschool your children, they won't get enough socializing.
I ask, just how much socializing does a child need?
If we go off of what Public School students receive, how much socializing have they received?
When the students graduate and go out into "the real world", what becomes of them?
It seems that unwanted pregnancies are on the rise.
Abortions are on the rise.
Divorces are on the rise.
Just living together is on the rise.
Not paying the bills is on the rise.
Credit card debt is on the rise.
Did these people not get enough socializing skills while in public school?
So just how much socializing is needed to prevent calamity in the lives of people?
Are these hardships brought on due to too much socializing or too little of it?
Do you suppose the type of socializing had anything to do with the social ills mentioned?
Will write more later.
Hope things are going well with you and yours.
How's your home life going?
God Bless,
Deanna

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

Dear Deanna,
Thank you for this... I had never heard the issue of socialization put forward in quite this way...
As you know, I homeschool and have often had to deal with this question from others.
Your words hold such grace. We are doing fine here. Though this homeschooling year has been a little tough, I am determined to push forward and continue to do the best I can. :o)
Blessings,
Katrina
Mom-
We watched a movie last night that I think you would really enjoy it. It was a very clean, Christian film. It is called, Though none go with me.
Hope you will check it out. We rented it from redbox.
Love you.
Hi Katrina,
We all get tired from time to time and need a refreshing break. Rest a bit, stretch and say Amen.
As a mom that homeschools, take a deep breath along with a tasty beverage. Not sure if you take time where the kids are having a specific quiet time for 20 minutes or so where you can sit and close your eyes for a few, but teaching moms need a breather as well. All mommas and wives do.
At the end of the school day, I always aimed at having let down time for the kids with a snack and playtime. Time to be a child.
You are doing a worthy and valuable thing for your whole family. If you listen real careful like...you can hear Deanna cheering you on all the way from Kansas!
God Bless you.
Deanna
Dear Stretch,
Howdy back to you.
I googled that movie. It looks like a good one.
Will watch it in the near future.
Without giving the movie away, what did you like about it?
Pray you are all well.
Child of God, being a Godly man that loves his wife and children while taking care of your estate is an outstanding ministry.
Love u.
As an only child who had to hear lots of this sort of stuff growing up, I say, "Right on!" I "socialized" with my parents, relatives, etc. I only WISH I could have had siblings, too. But, who did I stay friends with? Not the kids I hung out with everyday at school. I only have 2 friends from elementary school (1 was also a neighbor) 2 friends from high school, and 3 from college that I still keep in touch with. My husband, who is also an only child had a similar experience. His hometown had 2 public high schools. While he attended one, nearly everyone else in his youth group went to the other school. Though he had plenty of friends at school, who does he hang out with these days? The youth group kids! Quality over quantity goes for relationships, too.

Hello Bethany,
Good to hear from you.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Hope all is going well in your life as you are carrying a precious little one. You're glowing!
My School friends have come and gone. It sometimes happens as we grow older. One really neat thing is the new friends that we make along the way of life.
Also our beloved husbands and children can fill a void that needs attention. What a blessing this can be.
Always our friend is...the Lord Jesus with the Holy Ghost to comfort us. "Aint" that grand? Yes, it is.
May God richly Bless you,
Deanna
Deanna,
Thank you for sharing this.
As a homeschooling mom of 4 we've had to deal with the socialization question in the past. We would laugh and let it go, if they only knew. LOL
Hello Well Watered Woman,
So glad you stopped by!
I have often teased my daughter about the spelling mistakes she makes and told her if I had home schooled her, she'd know how to spell.
You must be incredibly busy with 4.
I admire homeschoolers and have often wished I had done this.
God richly bless you.
Deanna
