There's much more in the November Molly's Digest . . .

What to Celebrate in November? Thanksgiving, of course, but you probably didn't know that it is Peanut Butter Lover's Month or that the 3rd is Housewife's Day and the 15th is Clean Your Refrigerator Day. And the 17th has three different holidays to celebrate all at once. Liven up a few special days and make yours a very interesting November.

Smile More--Stress Less: Laugh along with Familyman Todd Wilson's cartoon in this month's Parenting That Pays. The holidays can be stressful times when we find ourselves getting impatient with the children and losing our focus of what's important. Most parents could probably use these tips on smiling when you just don't feel like it. Enjoy a thoughtful poem and a suggestion for taking that family holiday photo. (Molly always has such encouraging thoughts for parents.)

What to Do About Grandmother's Curtains: This was Aubrey's dilemma when two boxes full of old, mismatched curtains didn't quite meet her window needs. These lovely curtains turned into lovely _______. Well, you'll just have to read the article and see the results for yourself.

Goal-Getter Spotlight: It's a story full of hope and the labor of love an entire family of eight worked on to make their dream of owning a home come true. Buy a house with their $5,000 savings? Make it livable only two months later? Yes and yes! Renovating their new, 110-year-old home provided a lot of excitement for this family. Michelle tells the cheerful story of their fixer-upper "palace."

Readers Write In: Even more photography tips and a frugal craft idea are shared by Molly's readers.

Molly's Question of the Month: Have you ever made and kept a New Year's resolution? What was it, and how did you succeed? Molly would love to hear your story!

Words Worth Saving: Consider these relevant quotes and apply them to your daily living!

Directory of Links: For those of you who print and bind your Digests, you'll have easy access to over two dozen fantastic links worth saving in the back of this issue. It makes your Digest easier to use! Don't just say cheese--say ease and expertise when you purchase Molly's "Family Photography" issue!

Homeschool Field Day Trip to Veste Coburg


My oldest son and I went on a wonderful trip this month to the Coburg Castle or Veste Coburg in Coburg, Germany. WE have seen many castles here in Germany from many small to the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, but truthfully I really enjoyed Coburg most.

If you don't know much of the Coburg history, you might know a little of Martin Luther. He of course is most known for the Prostestent Reformation. After writing his The Nine-Five Theses, he was a wanted man by the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope of the time. He translated the Bible from Latin to the German language. To which he concluded that everyone and anyone is WORTH reading the Holy Bible and not a select few. TO which later was translated to English into the King James Bible, in which my family uses today.

Coburg is one of Martin Luthers 'hiding' places. Walking through the area to which he was known to be hidden at...you can imagine the small area of living, being held (almost as a prisoner) hidden from society for the greater good. I do believe he sacrificed a lot with being away from family, being bold against the Catholic church and it's ways, and having the Faith that God would see him through it. I am sure translating a Bible is NO small task!

Coburg Castle has many areas of interest for our children. It was a guided tour geared toward children. The children got to actually wear real armour to see how big and heavy it is, and view the area for weapon storage, and among many various other things...For a layout plan of the castle, please view here.


And to keep Oct. 31st in mind, since it is coming up...this is actually the same date that Martin Luther posted his famous The Ninety-Five Theses on the church door at Wittenberg. The day of birth for Reformation.

To view our pictures taken during this wonderful field trip you can visit here.


Until next time!! Have a wonderful REFORMATION DAY! ;0)

AMAZING Bible World History Timeline: A Review

In the mail, I received a visual aid with a vast amount of information that fits on very detailed poster the size of 38" x 46.” Of what you might ask? Something called, ‘The Amazing Bible World History Timeline.’ The time line is presented in a compact circular format. "It's 6000 years of Bible and World History together!"

Adam is at the top at 4000 B.C. to current times to 2000 A.D. and all that is in between! WOW! Upon first opening the triangular box (nicely packaged BTW—thank you), I was amazed by the complex and intricate detail of the map. I love maps because they remind me of my Grandfather Alvin. Of the little things we used to do together was watch the History Channel and view various maps (of the States).

At first sight of the wall poster I actually was a little intimated----not so much by the information but by design. We are used to seeing timelines spaced across a linear space rather than circular. After about 5 minutes or so from first opening the package, we began to understand the presenter’s idea of World History and the timeline of the Bible. The best place for us to view it is at eye level on the wall for best visual learning. We place it in my husband’s office beside our computer desk so that it's available at all times, when any of us have a question or studying a certain era or chapter of the Bible and History. This way, it’s easy to cross reference history and the bible and then make discussions…



What is great about this timeline/map is the detail of history. Also, with a couple of visual learners; it puts a lot of ideas and learning into perspective. How interesting about other religions and world eras, ideas that came into effect and being able to bend in. Empires were made and empires were torn down is the lesson for the day. The timeline is color coded so you can track families, nations and world events all happening at the same time easily.

My husband’s take of the map says that it would help a student immensely when that person goes to Bible College with a major in Theology and anyone pursing a degree in World History; sort of like a preliminary study. I mean for my children, now, who are 11, 8, 3, and 1 years old--it really is a bit much, but I can see growth for it. I do enjoy looking at it (when I have time) because history is my favorite subject of all. So, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning more of the Bible and World History; whether as a hobby or study. I enjoy it being in chronological order (of course) and it’s rare circular placement, but also as it’s relation to and main focus of the Bible and History around it.

I also think it does a fair job with showing all other religions. I am not so much a fan of it and I am not saying that all roads leads to Christ, but we must study, know, and understand other religions and their cultures so that we can teach our children why it’s unnecessary to do certain things. By studying the world history, it helps them when they grow to be fervent followers of Christ. The knowledge of other religions helps them in general so that they won’t be lead astray or hopefully help them become missionaries in the field (to a certain area) to lead others to Christ. The background knowledge and understanding of other beliefs is crucial — I believe.

Overall, I would say it is plain to see that the makers of the chart spent many, many hours finalizing the timeline and I am sure it’s a work in progress. It’s a wonderful gift to give for anyone who studies their Bible. The timeline can be used for better understanding of the world around us, past and present. But as we all know, only God knows the end time of this world and I pray that our family leads Godly lives and pray that we (as parents) are preparing our children of what is yet to come…

_______________________________________________
What the Stemmerding family has to say about Sarah's Wish...

Upon our first 'encounter' with Mr. Jim Baumgardner (through email), he comes across as very laid back and funny!! :) He let us know that he had sent our 'free' copy of Sarah's Wish. We have enjoyed reading his Sarah Web Newsletter through direct email. The newsletter contains a variety of tidbits that are related to Sarah Books. Include in the web newsletter are: interesting facts and other good stuff, questions of the month(about Sarah and her adventure), I got mail (responses made from fans), questions and answers (to author), and words of wisdom (in which is my favorite)--I love the quotes and sayings.

Sarah's Wish opens up with the reality of losing someone special. Wow, it made me cry and then I was hooked! The author is a wonderful storyteller and with reading Sarah's Wish, I would definitely recommend this book and this series to anyone from child to adulthood. I love that Sarah's story takes place in a trial time for America. Unfortunately, this is apart of American history. We need to remember though is that we should fight for what is right. A good deed in my book (having integrity) is most important and most importantly-in God's Book.

This era reminds me of the verse, "Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." in Acts 5:29. Sometimes we need or should realize that men have hearts of sin, and that some of their laws do in fact go against God's word. Sarah throughout the book wants to keep her promise to her mother and yet sometimes telling it to someone else for the benefit or even save the life of another friend takes priority. And during this era of slavery, sometimes laws are made to be broken...

Sarah has a most important wish that she prays to God diligently and now you'll have to read to find out if it has been fulfilled...

Oh, by the way this book series is not only for girls. I have four boys and my school-age boys enjoyed this book (I read it for together time) as much as I did. Not until this book, did my children wonder or know about the era of slavery (in detail)and how intense this time period was. I whole-heartedly recommend this series to anyone wanting a good read, with Christian value and quality.


Being such a great guy that he is (Jim) there is a special for my readers!! This special is not through his website but through my blog! Here are the details:

___________________

Overall, we enjoyed reading the e-books. We like printed books better, but we are getting used to reading our books in the form of e-books. Any book that comes our way we devour and look it over and re-read if we truly love it. My oldest boy loves the Earthquakes! e-book. He just went over earthquakes in his science textbook and this e-book is an excellent source of topic for Earthquakes. He loves the factoids included in Earthquakes and in No bones about it...e-book. My younger two boys enjoyed Maybe we are Flamingos and Rainbow Sheep. In Rainbow Sheep, honestly I can say is that I have never seen illustration like that before. It was very neat to look at the illustrations. I am not sure if we will try the wonderful activities located at the end of this e-book, but you never know...maybe it's a future art project. Andy and Spirit: Go to the Fair, is the second part of the series. My children are not so concerned with horses, but the story had a wonderful message to read about. The e-book got my children asking questions about people who had disabilities and so forth, so it was a great discussion for topics and concern.

We enjoyed our five wonderful e-books, and Guardian Angel Publishing's website is available for view for many other book choices that are available. Please visit their website here.
