Education

I've done a lot of reading and thinking and praying...well, not as much praying as I should....since the election and I have become convinced of one thing for sure.

Government-run education has finally come full circle with the tremendous number of young people voting for Obama.

I know there are times that public and private school are the options that God chooses for our children.  But sometimes it's just because we want more "stuff" and both parents have to work for the "stuff" - vacations, nicer clothes, a nicer house.

We're often leaving these impressionable children in not just a "God-free" education system, but a "God-hostile" system.  Jesus said, "whoever is not with me is against me," and that is certainly the truth in education.  We think we can abdicate character-building, history, sex ed, etc. to others.  Even our children's religious education is dumped on Sunday School teachers who teach our children about an hour a week.

How do we expect young people to look into the future, to a bankrupt United States, to a debt-ridden society, when we refuse to look into the future and see what we're reaping when we abdicate our responsibility to teach our own children truth?

I hear from parents, "well, our children should be salt and light".  Really?  Is there any word about Jesus being salt and light when he was young?  No.  There's ONE glimpse into his life and he was 12 and at church.  If Jesus didn't being HIS ministry until he was about 30, I think our kids can get a pass.  This is key training time.

Deuteronomy says to talk about God's commands all the time.  How do we do that when they're at school eight hours a day, extra-curricular activities two hours a day, and sleeping nine hours a day?  That leaves us five hours a day.

There's a famous quote that says, "give me a child until they're seven, and I will give you the man."  Government is pushing for school at younger and younger ages.  Why?  Because they care about you?  Your kids?  No.  It's all about control.

Who's having the most influence on our kids' lives?  Who do we want to have the most influence?  What are we doing to be sure that is happening?

What's the point?

That's what I've been asking myself for a little over a week.  Why bother?  Christ will return.  I am going to heaven.  These people that voted for Obama don't give a flying flip about infanticide, sodomy, legalized stealing, or the rule of law.  Why should I?  Why should I insist that my kids learn about the Constitution and their forefathers?  Why should I draw a line in the sand and say, "here is truth and I will not break"?

Because I have to.  Because I'm here.  God sets the times and seasons for us to live....and here I am.

Killing a baby isn't less revolting because it's still in the womb.  It may be more understandable if the mother is going to die if she carries it to term, but let's be honest - most women get an abortion because that baby would be inconvenient.  It's murder.

Men sleeping with men and women sleeping with women isn't just a lifestyle choice.  It's a sin.  It's not how our bodies work and it's not okay.  And it surely is not marriage.

Ignoring the Constitution when you have taken an oath to defend it is not noble because you "feel" it's wrong.  It's treason.

I feel like I am under assault day in and day out against the forces of this world, and make no mistake; there are forces out there and they are evil.  I wage war with them internally, as they fight against my marriage, my family, my children, my country.  I refuse to back down.  I know what's right and I know who is Truth.  It is sure as hell not our current president, and it's not even the man who ran against him.

Jesus Christ wins.  I stand on that rock.  And I refuse to stand idly by while whiny brats asking for handouts tell me I'm wrong.

Un&@*#$% believable

I stayed up last night to watch the election results.  I went to bed after FOX News called Ohio for Obama, since that was the end.  It took me a good 40 minutes to fall asleep...and I was awoken by my hubby at 5 am, who was just as crushed at the results as I was.

Then, the President had the AUDACITY to call for working together.  You know what that means?  Republicans and conservatives, you need to cave.  No, you say?

Abortion - it's murder at all times.  I don't care if it's from rape or incest or if mom's going to die.  It is murder.  The right is supposed to allow exceptions for those times.  Fine.  What does the left give?  Do they say partial birth abortion isn't okay?  No, birthing a baby all the way except for the head, then stabbing it with drugs and killing it is okay.  What about blocking sex-selection abortions?  Nope....go ahead and kill your baby girl or boy if it doesn't fit into your life.

Taxes - all the money from taxes are TAKEN from working people.  The right is supposed to say, okay, those who don't make much don't have to contribute at all, even though they use the lions' share of government handouts.  Those who make the most, should get to keep the least of their OWN money.  Where does the left compromise?  Nowhere.

Sequestration - half of it is coming from the defense budget.  The other half - oh, don't touch any "entitlements".  Speaking of entitlements....why hasn't anyone figured that out?  You're "entitled" to your benefits?  No, you're graciously given them from the people who actually PAY taxes.  How about a thank you?  Or proving you're looking for a job?  Or sweeping the street where you live?

Immigration.  The right has to allow everyone who's already here to stay.  Left?  They don't give an inch, then they call the right "racist" if they disagree.  It's not racist to expect people to follow the law of the land.  Or do you on the left just think that those poor minorities just can't follow the rules??  The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Whatever.  It obviously doesn't freakin' matter.  Too many people are lazy and refuse to work, just wanting government to take care of them.  Hello, Sandy, anyone?

Anybody want to buy an island with me??
