The AHE-List (an e-mail list on Yahoo Groups) is a group of over over 300 SDA women. We have lively discussions on all aspects of SDA homeschooling including: curriculum, child discipline, how do I...?, where do I find...?, what do you use?, and much more. It's a very active list so be prepared to get lots of e-mail. Also on Yahoo Groups is our database of family profiles, photos of members families, the 8000+ past messages, and more. Go to Yahoo Groups, create an account and join us. ~Judy

The AHE-Living email list - "Please join Adventist Home Educating friends in sharing encouraging words as we work together to create grace-filled, loving homes and pure hearts for the Kingdom. This is a place to visit about child rearing, home decorating, healthy cooking, health and wellness, family relationships, spiritual growth and family worships, sewing and crafts, gardening and flowers, and other topics near and dear to our hearts. As God's children, we understand that He has placed us exactly where He wants us to be at this moment in time, and goes with us daily as we walk with Him and develop a relationship that draws us even closer to Jesus."

This is a supplemental group for Adventist Home Educators; a place where we can discuss all aspects of Christian living. Messages shared here are original comments by posters rather than forwards from others. This is a moderated group. ~Judy

Comments about our Yahoo Groups Lists:

It has been invaluable to me to have such wonderful wise and kind ladies to talk to, share with and encourage. Tamara

I have enjoyed reading the different topics. It is nice to know I am not the only one out there dealing with some of the same issues I have seen discussed. Barbara

This list was my church family and I will never forget all that you all meant to me during those lonely months, that stretched into years. You were my friends, church family, sisters, mentors, you all mean a lot to me. No one understands the inner me like another Adventist. Like you all. In so many places and ways in my life i don't fit in, the most important parts of me are not like most other people, but you all understand. Adventists, homeschooling wives and mothers, all the really important parts of me.
God bless, Sherri

This list is SO amazing. You all encourage and educate me. You inspire me. You make me laugh. You provide information and motivation for me to use at home and share with other home-schoolers who can't get at our list directly. And besides that, many of you have taken the time to actively participate in one of my children's hands-on learning experiences. What a blessing! ht

This list has given me companionship. Like Sherri Rimmer did, I live in a very...well, "interesting" place. I am very alone here. For instance, my children are the only SDA kids in LaPine. I doubt if there is another vegetarian anywhere near. You cannot buy a whole grain anything without driving at least 30 miles. If you don't hunt, fish, smoke, chew, drink beer or at least Mountain Dew, you just don't fit in around here (Jeff Foxworthy would love this place!). I have no idea what we are doing here. But I have my list sisters!! They support the way we live and are always sympathetic and ready with prayers when needed. Not only do I get ideas and support from you all, it gives me an opportunity to share what I've learned through 12 years of hs-ing my boys. Helping others has blessed me. I feel a bond with all of you, and can't wait to give you all a big hug in Heaven!!

This list has provided so much support for me this last year. This has been a hard year. Partly because of my own depression and reaction to circumstances. But I was so blessed to have been here on this list during that time. The MANY times that I cried out to you someone ALWAYS wrote a caring and compassionate answer to my cries; sometimes on list, sometimes off. You always led me back to He who cares the most and longs for the time when He can wipe out all our tears and sadness. When I was the most depressed two of you even called me on the phone to chat and check on me. WOW! Through allowing yourselves to be used by God you brought such joy to my tortured mind. When I didn't know where to turn for answers to situations someone was always ready to lend an ear an offer up Godly wisdom. It was through the love of people on this list that God was able to bring me healing. I am now attempting to learn to bloom where I am planted (or transplanted). Thanks to you ALL, Pam Z. (who would still love to be blooming somewhere else)

I have appreciated the AHE list very much. Though I am a "retired" home school mom I enjoy learning more and new ways to homeschool successfully so I may share with others. I feel a kindred spirit with the other homeschooler parents as they share their struggles and needs plus the bright times when things go in a positive way. Val M.

You know I needed to read your testimony right at this very moment. I live in the city, near the General Conference in fact and over 50 SDA churches in my neck of the woods, however, with all this companionship I still feel very alone.
It seems no one believes as I do, not even my husband (he believes all these things are good, but he doesn't ACTIVELY "do"), when it comes to a good vegan veggie diet, or little to no TV, or no jewelry, or anything SDA! I attended a Family Life Seminar at one of the many local churches yesterday. I could not even believe I was in a SDA church!
The reason I am so fretful is because, I need encouragement, mentorship. I've just became vegetarian, and stop wearing jewelry and movie going myself. Would you believe I grew up SDA . . . in fact many generations. Even the few SDA homeschoolers that I've met don't really bond. Everyone just sticks to themselves. So, I'm really thankful for AHE!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Our sisters in Christ here have been such a blessing and inspiration to me. Judy T.
