Do You Know What's Going On?

Dear Friends and Family,

As you have probably all seen on the news lately, there have been too many abductions of children by pedafiles and others. There are also a big push to pass laws in congress for harsher punishment for sex offenders due to these unfortunate incidents. I pray that these laws pass. But there is one thing not being said, everyone is blaming the offenders and that they are the only ones who need to be held accountable. But I feel very strongly that one major point is being left out of the media coverage. The protection and changes must first be made in the home. We must be better aware of our surroundings, we must be home more with our children, we must take a stronger stand in the knowledge of our childrens where abouts. Come on these all sound like common since things but you would be surprised how few parents even know what their children are currently studying in school. I am not blaming parents for the abduction of their children but for us to protect our children we have to open our eyes (both Father and Mother) and know what's going on. They are trying to pass a thing about being able to send porn to picture phones. Well hello the majority of phones are in the hands of 9 year olds and older. We as parents have to take a stand and it has to start in our homes.

What's going on in your home, in your neighborhood, in your church, or even in you kids school? What kind of music do your kids enjoy, tv shows, or even food? Do you know the answer to these simple questions? Take time out for your kids and let them know you care. Because as I said before The Changes Must Start in the Home!

A Very Concerned Mom,

Bible Study

I went to one of the coolest bible studies today. It is CBS, Community Bible Study. This group meets all over the world. The group started in the 1975 as an answer to the heartfelt prayers of a group of women who asked the Lord to provide many effective Bible studies for people in the Washington, DC area. It has since grown abundantly. In 1992, there were 3 meetings in Florida and in 2000 there were 24. In 1992, there was about 100 throughout the United States and in 2000 there were about 500. In 1992, there were 3 nationally, and in 2000 there were over 1000. Isn't God amazing. Wow to have it grow so rapidly. God is just awesome.
Well about why I thought it was so great. My moms best friend Julie invited me to go with her because it was an answer to prayers for her. It is a place to truely open the bible and study the bible. We are currently studying the book of Colossians. One thing that strikes me as great is that the childrens program is not just babysitting they have there lessons too. They are learning as well.
I am at a place in my christian walk that I am yearning for more knowledge. I want to learn the bible and know what the Lord says in His book of truth. I have found that in this place and what a blessing it is. I would recommend this CBS to anyone. It is nondenominational, it is strickly based on the truths of the bible.

I cooked!

Can you believe this I cooked dinner last night? First I made dinner for a family in our church- Pork chops baked in cream of mushroom soup, potatoes chopped and seasoned with butter, Lowry’s season salt, and cheese, and green beans. The mom in the family had surgery last week so we got the privilege of helping out. Then we came home and I made the pork chops and potatoes for us. For those who don’t know what the big deal about this is I don’t cook very often. I don’t think I cook very well but I made the pork chops for Mom and Dad not too long ago and they really liked it. So evidently that’s one thing I can cook.
Don’t get me wrong I am not completely useless in the kitchen. I love to bake. I enjoy making cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, and so forth and so on. Desserts are my things. We don’t do desserts very often because it is not really great on the curves.
That’s why our kitchen is called RC’s kitchen. We just don’t do enough desserts so RC is our cook. He is a really awesome cook. He did say he liked my dinner last night and went back for seconds so maybe I will try something else and see how I do with that.

What's going on!

Hey Everyone!
Okay as you can tell I am not as good as Tasha at keeping my blog updated. We went camping this last weekend. It was a lot of fun. Our Sunday School classes go camping like twice a year. It will now be opened to the entire church and is an official ministry of the church. Life has been so busy. We celebrated AC's 3rd birthday last week. Then the camping trip. It is just crazy. We have WOW (for those who don't know that is Women of Worship) this Friday night where Mom and I will be doing a song in Sign Language. Then the following weekend we have some really great friends bachelor/bachelorette party. The weekend after that their wedding. I really will try to keep this updated more because trust me I get "When are you going to update your blog?" from Mom and Tasha all the time.
