Chef Jerry

This morning, Jerry made the family breakfast all by himself. Frozen cinnamon waffles were on the menu. He toasted and buttered each waffle by himself, turning them half-way to make sure they were toasted evenly. He was such a big boy, he even had a cup of coffee. Well, actually, it was half a cup of hot chocolate with some coffee added. But he felt quite grown-up. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that we brought him home from the hospital. Time flies! 




Looking at these pictures, I'm reminded that somebody needs a haircut. Well, I'd better get busy.

Take the time to enjoy a child today and make him feel special.

Kids say the... Well, kids say whatever comes to mind!


This morning while I was making pancakes, an argument started in the other room. I waited until the voices escalated to a certain pitch before stepping in. This was a very serious discussion. 


Get ready for it....

Jerry and Jocelyn were trying to decide whether or not God had boogers. Yep, you read it right! Jerry was very adamant that God most certainly does NOT have boogers up in Heaven, besides, "Satan deserves all of the boogers in the whole world in his nose, doesn't he, Mom?" 

We finally settled by deciding that this was not the most appropriate thing to be arguing about. 

Kids!? Well, at least they're honest, except when it comes to missing candy bars, of course!

Have a good day.

Train up a child in the way he SHOULD go......



"I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of Hell unless they diligently labour in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt."
-- Martin Luther--

Today my heart is heavy because of the ignorance and irresponsibility of God's people. People who have been called by God to be parents. 

Right now, I know of mothers whose hearts are breaking, because they truly have no choice but to send their children to a pubic school to be educated. They plead with the Almighty to protect and strengthen their children. I listened yesterday to a young girl who has been forced into a secular school by her father and saw the pain and anger on her face because she did not have a choice. 

At the same time I know of parents who DO have a choice, but they have chosen to neglect God's Word and to send their little girl to the Enemy for her education. They are willing to sacrifice their little one because they're afraid. Whatever the reason, I am sickened and angered by it.  

WHY? Why would born-again believers CHOOSE to sacrifice their child to Satan's indoctrination? They are no different than the Israelites who sacrificed their children to Baalam. God help these innocent children. Will a child's behavior improve in an over-crowded under-staffed classroom where they are taught that wrong and right are relative? Do parents really believe that what they say will over-ride what they do?! 

If you are a truly born-again, child of God then you have the Holy Spirit within. Ask Him what He thinks of your choice? You know if you truly have no choice or if you simply have rejected the choice God has given you. I found this Bible study on education in the Bible. Bible And Education Read it in HONEST and HUMBLE prayer. God has already told you what He expects of you in His Word. If after reading this you still choose to sacrifice your child to Baalam, then read what He says in Matthew 18:6.

"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

"Be not deceived; GOD IS NOT MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh (or his child's flesh) shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we SHALL reap, IF WE FAINT NOT." Galatians 6:7-9

If you have selfishly made the choice to allow Satan to educate your child, then I plead with you to repent and obey God. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God's forgiveness is never a license to continue in sin, but rather, it is the way to remove the offense and to restore one's relationship with God. 

If it is fear that keeps you from obeying God's command to train up your child in the way he/she should go remember, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 Go to your pastor, godly parents, other mature servants of God and you will find a wealth of resources and encouragement. If not, then find a church that stands on the Word of God and you will have help. 

I realize that this is a little lengthy, but my heart is heavy because those I love have decided against God's Word and have broken the hearts of those who have been praying that they would heed the Bible; and because I watch others who pray that God would open doors so that their children could have a godly education and beg God to keep their children safe and pure in the ungodly world they have been forced into prematurely. 

I would have written this to the couple in question directly, but I am not sure if it is my business to interfere directly or whether they would read it anyhow. Also, I know that they are not the only Christian parents out there who have chosen against God's Word. Lord willing, they will read this and be honest with themselves. No one who prays honestly can say that God has directed them to send their children to a secular, ungodly school. How can I say this so dogmatically? Because God's Word teaches otherwise. 

Please, don't send your child to public school!! May God help you if you do.


Public Education - or - Russian Roulette?

I've got a bee in my bonnet, so I'm posting from our family site, It's A Loveless World. If you follow us there, I'm sorry to repeat myself, but this is very important. Maybe later, I can post a recipe or something a little on the lighter side. Thank you for your patience.

Today we were sent a very angry comment which I chose to reject due to the offensive manner in which it was written. The writer was upset and offended by the stand we take against public education. I would not be so arrogant to think that NO child can be educated in a state run school and still be a strong servant of God. That is simply not so. My husband attended public school for the majority of his education. Miss L stated that it was not the school's job to teach our kids the Bible.

It is not so much about what they don't teach in the public schools as much as what they do teach.

What we do believe is, that there is a REAL danger in the public education system. We also believe that the education of children is a responsibility given to parents by God. God gives each family specific children for a reason. You are the parents of those children because God chose you. You have the experiences, the knowledge, and the temperament, best suited to raise that child to the glory of God.

Is your teaching being compromised? Your children spend more time under the influence of an education system that is nothing more than propaganda, promoting the agenda of Satan Himself, than the influence of you and your church. What was it that Hitler said? Something about... if you say it loud enough and long enough the people will believe it? I've found it to be true that children learn by repetition and example. In school they are sat down and taught that you are a liar, that God is a fairy tale designed by poor uneducated ignoramuses.  They are told that sexual orientation  is something that "nature" chooses. They are taught that they are more informed than their parents. They are taught that God's idea of family is oppression. They are taught all these things and more. And it is repeated over and over and over again. They see it lived day after day. Aren't parents taking a very big risk that their teaching won't be lost in the smoke? Isn't it playing Russian Roulette with your children's spiritual welfare?

I'm sorry if I've stepped out of line in the manner in which I've stated our views. But I do not apologize for the stand we take. We feel very strong about this and have chosen to home-school our children. If you have not chosen to do that, well, all I can say is, let God be the Judge. I have not nor will I ever go to someone else's blog or web site and comment in such an offensive manner. We are not to argue and fuss with one another. Miss L has the ability to feel the way she does about her choice, I do not begrudge her of her freedom of speech. However, I also ask that I be given the same respect. This is our blog where we share our beliefs. If Miss L. wants to share her beliefs on a blog she may start one of her own.

If you have been put in a position where you have lost the privilege of educating your child the Bible way, I hope you realize that I'm not talking about you. I know your heart aches for your children. God also knows and will protect them. My heart goes out to you.

If you think that what we are saying is a bunch of hype, then please, I beg you to go to this site and watch the news special by Fox News. Here's the link to the Glenn Beck Show March 5, 2010. It is about forty minutes long and I will warn you that it does use cr_p a few times and quietly uses one other cuss word. However, the message is unbelievable! The show encourages you to watch it with your children, but I would suggest watching it first and then decide if you want your children watching it or simply to talk to them about it. These are real dangers and history IS repeating itself.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

May God have pity on both the United States of America and Canada for relinquishing our freedoms at the expense of our children.
