I feel honored but I realize that this blog was much better in 2007. 2008 has not been the best blogging year for me due mainly to some technical difficulties. I have not been able to post pictures from my home computer since this past spring, and as a result I have not been posting much at all lately. It just hasn’t been as fun.
Many of you that are coming from other places will likely wonder why this blog was nominated. If you looked around here a bit you have probably been disappointed! Those of you that are not a registered user with Homestead Blogger will only see a few posts that I have made available to everyone. Some of my posts are even restricted to fewer eyes as they are only viewable to those on our friend list. Sadly, these would be the posts that might lead one to vote for me as a good homeschool dad. Only if you are on our friend list can you see pictures of my children and many of the activities we have done together as children and father.
I have been blessed with 5 wonderful children, and we have been blessed to be able to homeschool them on this up and coming farming homestead the Lord has given us. I do not feel comfortable, however, sharing our experiences with the entire world wide web.
If you are new to homestead blogger, I would encourage you to look around my blog and other great blogs here. You might even want to register and have your own homesteading blog!
If you are a registered user and especially if you are our "friend", I would encourage you to go to this link and vote for Pure Water Hollow Homestead!
Wouldn’t it be neat if one of our homesteading blogs wins a homeschool award! The odds are greatly against me, I know, but it’s fun anyway!
Thanks, and God Bless!

I voted for your blog! I think you have a wonderful blog! I love reading your blog and I have learned many new things by reading your blog, like how to sap trees.
My blog is in the 2008 Homeschool Blog Awards too. I am in the Best Homemaking or Recipe blog. As soon as I found out that I was in for voting, I went to my blog and found all of my post and my entire blog to have been deleted. I was very upset to find this, and I have no idea of how it might have happened. All of posts about sapping trees were deleted too. So, I have to repost all of my posts.
I think I am going to copy all of my posts and put it into a document on my computer. You might also want to do that, incase your blog was ever deleted you could simply copy all of your post and repost them. You have a wonderful blog and I would hate to see all of your posts deleted.
Good luck in the 'polls'! I hope you win!!!
Belle

How exciting to get a response so soon. I have read your past few blogs and you have indeed stimulated imaginations of your lifestlye. We use that word like we actually can choose a lifestyle, when I think we more point ourselves in the direction, then bounce off the bumpers of life like a pinball, but along the way we become skilled at holding our breath so each moment pauses and we can savour it.
But give credit to the deep peace God has generously given us… like see pigs scrambling in the pen, but instead of the mud we see the beaty of birth and the wonder of design… the miracle of the moment.
I appreciate the privacy factor you have implemented. This is a neat place, this site, safer than most, but even if the weirdos on the net did not exist, some privacy is important to the family.
I intend to both exercise sharing, and caution as you will see in my next entry. A trip to the property ( in words), but I will not actually share the location, though to friends, even here I develop and trust, I will share that information. I even intend to offer visits(cheap holiday) for the brave and trusted friends … for all that I have is not my own,,,but to be shared. So stay tuned just in case some day opportunity knocks and you have a chance to get away. And if is just too far, or too hard or too much… I invite you to journey in my blog. God speed and light your way …
