So, we will be using the long trusted Alpha Omega Lifepacs. We used these for many years with Heather and they worked just fine, and we need to use something familiar. For this season in our life, this is a good choice for us.

This is a $259 program (and believe me it’s worth every penny!)
This is a computer based curriculum and Rosetta Stone will also include a headset with microphone, and a supplementary “Audio Companion” CD so you can practice lessons in the car, on the go, or where-ever! Students participate in life-like conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone incorporates listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing along with speaking and pronunciation lessons. For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program to allow parents to easily enroll up to ten students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, grade completed work (the program grades the work automatically as the students progress- I love that!), and you can view and print reports for transcripts. Homeschooling a lot of kids at your house? This program is designed to enroll and track up to ten students (five users on two computers) and will work for nearly all ages — from beginning readers up to college students.

• and ’stuff’ …. to last you a lifetime?

Have you ever been there? Longer than just a day? To the point you thought if you uttered one word to anyone about it, that you’d explode into a tirade of rambling tearful outpouring you weren’t sure you could stop it (much less do so and maintain even an ounce of grace and dignity); and worse, you had no one to really and truly share such thoughts with?

Where you woke up one day, looked around at your life and realized you had acquaintances and no true friends. That you are the square peg in the round hole you always heard tell about.  The thought of trying to fit in where you knew you couldn’t seems almost too much to overcome.

I have talked with a lot of women like this. The majority of women I talk to say that a friend is one thing they really wish they had.  A true friend. That best girl friend that you can call and share things with, do things with. Someone who will stick by you – no matter what. Who will be by your side in good times and bad. Who shares in your joys and your sorrows.  Someone who regularly takes time out for you; and you for her.

Even though we are grown women, with husbands and families – we still need at least one true girl friend.

I say my husband is my best friend, because he is. I tell him anything – whether he wants to hear it or not. But truth be told, he hears it, in part, because I don’t have a true girlfriend. I have many friends – some closer than others, but no one I would call my best friend.

Today – that grieves me.

Yes, I have Jesus – and He comforts me. My husband listens to me – patient man that he is. But there are some things that only a girl friend can know and truly appreciate. If you’re a woman, you know what I mean.

Today I am profoundly missing my best friend. I don’t know who she is, or where she is. I just miss her.

Do you have a best friend? Have you been best friends since childhood? Or when and where did you meet your best friend? Today, I need to hear your best friend stories.
