Chinese Recalls: How Can You Even Avoid Their Products?Posted by Lorren on August 16, 2007
I saw that there were even more recalls of Chinese products. This time it’s Barbie toys or something like that. It’s getting to the point where you really can’t trust anything. Some people on a homeschool forum I go to was asking whether or not you let your babies suck on their [...]
In A Stop Snitchin’ Culture, Those Who Talk Are BravePosted by Lorren on August 15, 2007
In certain segments of society, there is a “Stop Snitchin’” code. That is, if you see a crime happening, you shouldn’t talk to the police, or “snitch.” This leads to a very low percentage of crimes, even murders, being solved. Even murders where there might be 25, 50 witnesses.
I can see why [...]
Are Modern Psychology and Witchcraft Related?Posted by Lorren on August 13, 2007
This sermon on Harry Potter has a lot of good information in it. It’s two hours long, but I really enjoyed it and learned some things.
Anyway, one of the things that Dr. Scott Johnson, the preacher who gave this sermon, went over was some quotes about why kids loved Harry Potter. Much of [...]
Homeschooling: I Guess It’s Final NowPosted by Lorren on August 10, 2007
Yesterday, me, dh, dd, and baby ds went swimming over at my mil’s house. At around 3:30, I heard the school bus dropping off kids. Wow, did school start already?
So today, just for fun, I decided to find out what would my dd be doing if she weren’t being homeschooled. To see [...]
Living With RegretPosted by Lorren on
I have a friend who lives with regret. I’ll call him John (not his real name). Years ago, he was married to the love of his life and he didn’t realize it. He was a little lazy, took things for granted, and she left him.
Fast forward nearly 10 years in time. [...]
This Makes My Blood BoilPosted by Lorren on August 8, 2007
Have you heard the story about the firefighters suing the city of San Diego?
Evidently, they were ordered to march in a gay pride parade, against their will. They were ordered to go to the parade, and were made to believe that if they did not comply, they would be fired or suspended.
While at the [...]
All Day KindergartenPosted by Lorren on August 7, 2007
The Arizona Republic reported that nearly every school in Arizona is offering free all-day kindergarten. For the most part, the article seemed quite positive. However, I tend to be against all day kindergarten. I think that it is a bad thing for our state.
For most of the article, the AZ Republic went [...]
Sin Is Like…Posted by Lorren on August 6, 2007
A person who sins is like a baby in a dirty diaper. We all do it, but God still loves us anyway, even though sin makes us stink to God. When we cry out to Him for help, He changes us, and removes the filth from our lives. Then we do not [...]
I Stopped Playing World of WarcraftPosted by Lorren on August 5, 2007
Today I said goodbye to my World of Warcraft characters. Probably forever.
It makes me quite sad. I started playing Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) in 1998, when my husband introduced me to Ultima Online. That was a fun game… I still remember the music, exploring the world, my cute little [...]
Talking To Kids About TragedyPosted by Lorren on August 4, 2007
Today Way Of The Master Radio was talking a little bit about responses to the bridge collapse. I guess some psychologists were talking on the radio, saying that you need to shield your kids from this sort of thing so that they don’t get scared.
I’ve never really had that mentality with my daughter. [...]
