I guess we can't forward things to this list. That's okay.

Here's what I received. I really don't know why.



Hello SandraDodd@...,

You've been invited to join the Pentecostal-homeschool group
hosted by Yahoo! Groups, a free, easy-to-use community service.
By joining Pentecostal-homeschool, you will be able to exchange
messages with other group members, store photos and files,
coordinate events and more.

This invitation will expire in 7 days.

Here's an introductory message from the group moderator:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Fellow Homeschooler,

We wish to extend an invitation to join our homeschooling community.

Pentecostal Homeschool is a community of Apostolic-minded parents who have a
passion for creating a powerful Christ-centered learning environment for
their children within their homes. WOW what a responsibility!

This community is for those who currently homeschool their children, or are
considering doing so in the future. Discussions are centered around
homeschooling and can include lesson plans, activities, links to homeschool
related articles and subject matter. Post homeschool-related links, pass on
an idea, share a Bible lesson, outline a family night, offer a lesson plan
that teaches English, social studies, art, math or any subject vital to
creating a strong homeschooling environment.

We do wish you would come and add value to our community.

Made me want to sing!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Dodd.
She is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
She has loosed the fateful lightening of Her terrible swift sword
Her truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Her truth is marching on.


I have seen Her in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Her an altar in the evening dews and damps
l can read Her righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
Her day is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Her truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with her heel
Since Dodd is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Her truth is marching on.

She has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
She is sifting out the hearts of men before Her judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Her! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our Dodd is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Her truth is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Sandra was born across the sea,
With a glory in Her bosom that transfigures you and me:
As She died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While Dodd is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Her truth is marching on.

For some reason people keep trying to *save me*. I get signed up
to Christian elists all the time and I sometimes get prayer groups
outside. Oh, and free bibles.
I dunno what it is. Its not like I'm an athiest. I'm openly pagan.

It would be nice if they had cookie bakes or something instead....

WHAT!??
I didn't even know I had contemners. That verse makes no senses

And you do know this Doddly humor is risking some kind of martyr's death for
me?
Lightning bolts? Eternal damnation with contemners or something?

Wouldn't it though!? I'll eat cookies to honor their Christian God
with them, no problem. I believe all aspects are part of the One
anyhow, honoring the head should not stifle or offend the heart, or
honoring the knee offend the foot. I am with you Shyrley, but I
didn't know you were pagan too girl! I guess we all have a healthy
doses of free thinking in all our facets, whether they be faith,
education, parenting, whatever...

People don't usually try to save me though. You must be more gentle
than me or something. The general reaction I get is the hissing,
spitting "GET THEE BACK!" kind. People are all friendly right off,
but then when they get to know me, they start denouncing me and
spreading gossip all over the place. Good thing I care not one whit
what stupid and bigotted people think of me huh? You would think I
was flamboyant or something, but I think I am rather boring. Maybe
it's that my plain demeanor and looks are deceptive, and when they
scratch the surface they get something wholly unexpected.

The hymn, although meant in fun, is perilously close to what Sandra
says. Christian Hymns and prayers are as much spells as any pagan
verse. We create our own reality by what we believe. Naming a thing
may make it so, if belief is strong enough. Even the staunchest
skeptic knows that the human mind is capable of defying "known"
reality, even of cheating death, where the will is strong. I would
have a care for how you build an ediface of words around Sandra that
even she cannot force her own reality through. Don't cheat her of
her desired destiny by imposing another on her.

Here Sandra, this is a blessing I wrote for you, from my faith, to
yours;

Sandra be like the earth,
Strong in mind and body,
Green and full of life.

Sandra be like the wind,
Carry your message where you will,
Remaining ever free and light of heart.

Sandra be like the fire,
Your will the flame fed by love,
Warming those around you.

Sandra be like the water,
Your tide swirling in power,
Is also the gentle wash of life.

Sandra be of your Spirit,
More than the sum of your parts,
Defined by no measure but your own.

Gentle!!!!!!!! Har har har.
You know me....'Have opinion, will rant!' is my motto.
I think I make people nervous sometimes cos I am pretty blunt.
That and my spiky hair, weird clothes and funny accent.
I also dunt take no crap from no-one and I have a sense of humour
that offends a lot of people <EG>

Perhaps I'm so wonderful they just want me in heaven with them?

Well you sound just like me! (minus the physical stuff) I am blunt,
sometimes too blunt, I offend people with my sense of humor, and make
people nervous. I make no secret of my opinions and suffer no fools
lightly. I don't take crap from people either. I think it is the
purely physical aspects. I have nothing to alert them, and they
think me an innocuous homemaker and mom, most likely Christian.
Plain brown med length straight hair, jeans most often, with sewaters
or t-shirts, etc, brown eyes, and this "Doe in the headlights"
innocent irish look that is genetic, no piercings, no tatoos, no
dyes, no makeup. I'm just a country gal at heart.

We had friends who for two years thought we were fundamental
Christians because we homeschool. How they laughed at themselves
when they found out we were pagan!

That was very strengthening and inspiring. Thank you very much.

I cleaned the fireplace!! I have cleaned the fireplace before, but not with
one leg in a cast. I'm very happy to have done something actually useful
today.

And tomorrow I'm taking an elaborate spongebath in front of the clean
fireplace, with a fire. It's not a good time of year to be nekkid and wet
here.

Trick or treating is just about to commence. Our house was the meeting place
for Marty's friends, and they're taking Holly and her friend Jasmine to cover
for them. "I'm going with my little sister!" they can say, when it takes
seven costumed teenagers to accompany two younger girls.

Keith my husband is out in the driveway, dressed kind of as Pan. I think
there was a photo of him in this costume in some of the photos I took to pass
around in South Carolina. There's a helm with deer horns, and fur trim in a
pattern on it, a set of pan pipes hanging around his neck, big furry legs,
and little hooves. The hooves I'm particularly proud of. It's a pair of
clogs with the heels cut off, and the tops painted to look more hoof-like.
So he goes clomping around on his toes looking taller (and crazier) than
usual.

We've talked about stationing me at the door to distribute. Me in a
wheelchair on a landing about twice as big as a wheelchair.

We're giving away candy (small chocolate bars, Kit Kat and Almond Joy and
suchlike), jokes with illustrations (something I made years ago, and Holly
found the stash of them, rolled up in little scrolls) and Halloween pencils I
got at a thrift store once. LOTS.

The jokes I will put in another e-mail.

Apparently I do!
Lying in a hospital (people, I say a BAPTIST hospital) for days while others
talk about unschooling JUST so that the hotel will refund the organizer the
price of my airfare, if that ain't martyrism, what would be?

Next conference I attend, I shall endeavor to pointedly NOT spill gasoline on
myself and walk outside where the smokers are assembled to ask if they know
what would take that gasoline out of my fancy new HOMESCHOOLING t-shirt.

Anyone who wants to hear about Jesus can visit www.unschooling.com this week!

(And that's WITHOUT the worship of satin or any other fancy fabric on this

Don't be sorry! Oh no! I was having fun. I didn't mean to embarrass or

I've had a worse broken leg than this and lived to have children and drive
