I was surprised to see that it has been 5 years since I posted on the blog. So much has happened in 5 years. Much loss to death, joys, blessings, sadness and rejoicing.
This country truly scares me. Leadership that allows and approves of so much sin. Our leadership will not lead us to Christ. As a matter of fact, they desire to slowly introduce acceptance to sin, therefore leading us further and further away from Christ. What will this land be when my daughter and grandchildren are making spiritual decisions for their families? I do not profess to be the perfect example of a Christian but I do acknowledge that I sin, often and do need forgiveness. I don't believe in erasing our past because it offends someone. The confused state of our country offends me, but is anyone changing it? No, rather the leadership in the county believes that I need to see a therapist to accept what society now says is right and good. Accepting everything is leading to communism, and that, my friends is where this country is headed.
I have always believed that church and state are not to be combined, which also means that education and religion should also be seperate. It is MY responsibility as a parent or grandparent to instill the moral values that I believe are in aligning with God's plan for us. It is not the schools responsibilty to teach any religion, the political agenda or the gender confusion in todays world. The purpose of school is to teach math, reading, history (by not eliminating sections) and to prepare them for the world and in the workplace.
My husband spend 3 days sitting in class with my 10 year old daughter, Isi. Her behavior was not becoming and the teacher expressed concern. With all my children; my 33 yr old son, Zach, my 26 year old son, Brayden and my daughter, we did not accept disrespect in the classroom. The teachers job is hard enough with out diserspect and disruption. During the 3 days sitting in the classroom, my husband was astounnded by the chaos, disrespect and disruptions. He told the teacher he wanted to stand up in front of the class and admonish the behavior. The teacher said that she wish he had done that. Why are parents not more responsive and supportive of our teachers? They are NOT babysitters, although they get paid as a babysitter, they are educators. Every child that succeeds and changes the world was taught by a teacher. Teachers change the world, one child at a time. Parents, stay in comminication with your children's teachers and be supportive. If your child got in trouble, it is never the teachers fault. It is the childs fault and ulyimately yours as a parent for not teaching the desired behavior in the classroom. We don't have time to give consequences, especially if it affects our lives. We used cell phones, video games and TV as our babysitter and allow so much trash to enter our childrens brains and hearts.
In the time that I have not been blogging, I have lost a dear friend, Randy, who was the one who always encouraged me to blog, my precious mother who was taken by the actions of another and my sweet father in law, who was raveged by the illness of Parkinson's and dementia. Both of these men were great men, and are greatly missed for their wisdom, compassion and love. My mother was just the sweetest thing ever to grace earth and loved people, was compassionate and kind. Her patients and co-workers all loved her.
I do get on my soapbox often, but these are my opinions, not pushed on anyone else. We all have our own opinions, beliefs and morals. I don't except everyone to believe the way I do on everything.
Until next time...
