<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.maidenofhonor.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tai ~ Maiden of Honor</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve only know Tai for around two months, but I’ve visited her blog quite a bit. The reason I keep coming back is because she really does blog from her heart. Tai is a strong Christian and you can really tell it from her writing. Almost all of her entries are on a spiritual subject. Her site Maiden of Honor is a really great blog to visit. She is blogging with a purpose.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/misterbingley/" target="_blank"> Will ~ Pemberley : Living Richly</a></p>
<p>Will started blogging in May and his blog has really grown. I haven’t visited him much, but when I stopped by a few days ago, I found that he blogs about everyday moments, adding great Christian parallels.<br />
<!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/jillnovak" target="_blank">Jill ~ Through the Windowpane</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My Mother really does deserve this award. Not only because she is a great mom, but because she blogs with a purpose. Mom has always blogged about her faith and she pours herself into her entries. She is always helping new homeschoolers and working on new resources for homeschooling families.</p>
<p><a href="http://sbees.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Heather ~ Sprittibee</a></p>
<p>If you’ve explored the Homeschooling blog community at all, you’ve most likely come across Heather’s blog. Heather writes about everything from “blessing your feet” to “scary stories about standardized test scores.” She is a great encouragement to many mothers around the homeschool blog world.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mamaarcher.com/" target="_blank"> Kristine ~ Mama Archer</a></p>
<p>Kristine&#8217;s blog was also recommended to me. I checked out her writing and was surprised to find it both informational and inspirational. Each blog includes a picture which really adds a lot of interest to her entry.<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Rules:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Awarded parties must nominate five people who have not received the award.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. The blogs that receive the award must serve some purpose.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. In their post about the award they need to link back to this entry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Awarded parties must post the award banner on their site. The banner must remain linked to this site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font size="2" face="Arial"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Don’t you just love getting an award? It is pretty fun to receive any  kind of award, but it is even more fun to receive an award that means something.  Back in April I started an award called The Blogging with a Purpose Award. It  took it about three months to get back around to me. Yesterday a newer friend of  mine awarded me the Blogging with a Purpose Award, not even knowing that I  originated it! I talked with her about the award, wondering if I should post it  or not. She told me that I should because a lot of people don’t know that I  started the award. I have made an updated award banner and rewritten the rules.  I also will choose five new bloggers for the award.</font></font></p>

Her magazine and her blog have put homeschooling in a positive light  nationwide. It’s impossible to say her blog does not have a purpose. Gena’s  purpose is to show people that they can help their children grow in the Lord,  while learning at home. Her theme is “Home Where They Belong!”</font></font></p>

He started influencing people to a higher calling in 2005  when HSB came online. He has been blogging ever since. Tim truly does have a  purpose. He defends Christianity and homeschooling. He speaks out against  profanity, myspace, alcohol and many other highly controversial subjects. Tim’s  name means “honored by God,” and his purpose for blogging is to honor God.<span>     </span></font></font></font></p>

I checked her blog out, and I am pleased to say it  qualifies for the award. Quiet Cajun started blogging late in 2005. She has been  faithfully writing ever since then. The purpose of her blog is to bring faith  into every aspect of homeschooling by sharing what God is doing through her  everyday life experiences. <span> </span></font></font></font></p>
