Merry Christmas!

Well, it has been a long time since I've posted on here. Maybe now that winter is here I will more often, hold the applause please. It has been very busy here and I don't often feel like sitting here typing at the computer. I was looking at some pictures on the computer this Christmas Eve and I found myself thinking about the time that has past us by. Thinking about the past is something everybody does sometimes. Some people have a past full of regrets while others have only a few. While I would like to say that I have no regrets, that simply wouldn't be true. The good news is that we can change all that right now. Jesus was born on this earth over 2000 years ago for the express purpose of setting us free from guilt and condemnation. Both here on the earth and in the afterlife. It is as simple as asking for forgiveness and accepting what He did for us on the day of redemption. This is what I did almost 17 years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday. All that weight of condemnation was lifted off of me and I felt like (and indeed was) a new man. It is the one decision that I can assure you that you will never regret.

Looking at pictures of the past also reminded me that we have such an important job as parents. The uncertainty that we face on this earth today will only be changed by parents doing their job. The state we are in right now is a direct result of parents NOT doing there job. Most parents let the world raise their children. The world shapes every part of them. The public school system has much more influence on their lives than the parents do. Most parents hardly even KNOW their kids or know what the schools are teaching them. The Bible tells us to train up a child in the way they should go and they will not depart from it. Why have todays and yesterdays children departed? Because they were never taught the way they should go. You don't have to teach a child to be disobedient, they are born knowing how. You have to TEACH a child to go the right way. Let us as parents endeavor to teach our children to CHANGE the world, not follow after the world. This will not be easy to do, nothing worth doing ever is, but this is what a parent does. If you not willing, than don't have children.

Well, I just now do my job as a parent and put some children to bed. Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

More fun cartoons again and some jokes

Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything...tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his math.

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello.
Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.

Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.

To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.

This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.

Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card.. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math.

She could no longer hold her curiosity.. She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'

Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'

Greta Van Susteren revealed last night that Rush Limbaugh will be one of the judges of the 2010 Miss America Pageant.

Pageant officials figured this was the only way to keep Barack Obama from winning that, too.
