Eclipse – Meaning and Application

This was the week of the great eclipse. Probably you and friends enjoyed seeing it. Perhaps you have had a chance to enjoy the science around it. How about now considering possible spiritual import? Okay, balance, here. No unusual predictions. On the other hand, yes, some realistic talk about already dire situations. Important for parents, teachers, pastors and anyone who deals with youth.

Book: Learn at Home for Great Shalom
I was recently told that homeschoolers often wonder what to do when they experience a problem such as a reluctant reader. Curricula choices don’t solve the need for direction. This book does. It helps you be sure you are meeting all your students’ special needs.

How to Not Lose Your Faith in College, Rather, Loose It
So important, as you prepare your student for college that you also give him or her a faith that stands up to the onslaught of unbelieving professors. Most churches don’t. A bishop asked me to write this because he didn’t know what to say to his children. Here is help.

Next week, a great interview from someone who has offered a great line of books for children — that teach character. Be sure to tell everyone it is coming.

Testimony of Shelby Ring

I want to have you hear Shelby’s testimony. She gave this December 2008. What amazes me is how deeply she was into trouble – even though her parents were right there. And they are great people!

Last week I met a woman who has done some work on the streets with kids. She says she wants to start talking with parents to let them know that we are in an emergency situation. I know that there is a new initiative with pastors in this area to fight sex trafficing — AMONG CHILDREN WHO LIVE AT HOME!!!!

Let’s wake-up and connect with the young people. It has been said that any society is only one generation from barbarism. We are less than that. We must learn to connect, evangelize, and disciple the next generation. Please contribute your comments/

Start School Off Right — With a Good Breakfast

Dr. Don Colbert MD, and Mrs. Mary Colbert were so sweet to talk with us about how to feed our children. They dropped by the studio via telephone in 2009. Texan children will begin their school year next week, while those in some states will do so later, and those in Canada not until September. Nevertheless, it is always a good time to think about starting right every day.

Young Man Says He Was Delivered from Gaming Addiction

Today we have a rerun from our first summer, when a young man tells how he was delivered from gaming addiction. Amazingly, he was home educated, active in church, and yet slipped into a gaming addiction. This is happening right under our eyes and we don’t see. Eventually he did. And he shares his story.

We now know that not only can gaming be an addiction, but often it is de-sensitizing young men to killing. In fact, they are practicing killing over and over. Even the fast rides are addicting them to adrenaline.

This is an ever more serious problem, as there are more games, more realistic games, and more reason to stay inside. Please listen. Please share.
