Here
is just a brief introduction of our guest speaker:
Carol Anne said she’d never homeschool as
soon as she found out she was pregnant in 1990. God has a sense of humor. She
has homeschooled two unique learners for almost 17 years. She loves mentoring
homeschool moms in the trenches. She formerly moderated a moms support group
for Family Touch and more recently worked with her friend, Anne Campbell,
running a Literature and Composition class for 8-12th graders.
Look for her regular byline in the print
version Home Educating Family Magazine as well as a monthly byline in the
'special needs' pages of their website. She works with Teach Them Diligently as
a conference blogger and has guest posts on sites such as, Homeschool Survival
and Edvacation. She is most excited about two works in progress: Letters
to My Sisters - 31 Days of Encouragement for Special Needs Moms as
well as Dear Aspie Mom: Answers to Questions We All Ask. She can’t
wait to launch these ebooks in 2015.
The topic for this meeting
is: Promises You Can Take to the Bank for Our Special Needs Kids, with
a focus of weaving God's word into the fabric of our days, as a way to
combat all our ‘what if’ fears of the future.
HSLDA's high school and struggling
needs consultants will present a one-day symposium for parents
teaching high school at home on Saturday, November 8, 2014. Choose from
multiple seminars and breakout sessions that include time for questions and
answers. Parents with children in 6th-8th grades will also benefit. Register
online and check out the agenda at www.hslda.org

Two presentations in ONE night
Thursday, October 16th, 6:00 PM ET
Creation: Why it Matters - A Flood of Evidence
A powerful and attention-grabbing presentation on the
vital importance of the Bible's history in Genesis: how it is foundational to
the Gospel and relevant to our world and society. The authority of the Bible is paramount. Items of scientific evidence are woven into
the presentation in a way that is easily understood by the layperson, as is the
Gospel message.
Dinosaurs-Their Real Place in History
The Scriptures clearly teach a global catastrophic flood
event. In the Biblical flood account
(Genesis 6-9), the details of the ark are given, leaving no doubt that the ark
had adequate room for every animal 'kind', including dinosaurs, and the food
and water needed to sustain them. This
historical account is not only upheld by the hundreds of flood traditions from
all over the world, but also trillions of fossilized plants and animals buried
in sedimentary rock layers all over the earth.
