“Labeling” is a well known concept in social-pyschology. Apparently not very well known in education. Or known in reverse.

Today, please consider one of my other victory stories. I saved a child. He was labelled as “bad.” I don’t know why. He was being hounded by his first grade teacher. What stories! And was being treated like he was recalcitrant and behind. He was not. He was acting normal, but he was bored — because he was extra bright.

I was Academic Dean. I was in the classroom helping a new to the school but experienced teacher. Thank God, I saw what as going on!

Let’s not leave it at one child rescued academically — and surely you know a bright 7 year old boy, labelled as bad would end up with behavior problems. The juvenile halls are filled with “learning disabled” boys! Let’s learn how to avoid these problems.

Let’s be sure our children, and our students are labeled. And let’s reform teaching all together — but that will be another book and another episode.

The power of words. No where more powerful than in the ears of a young child!

A Great Testimony at Christmas

Years ago, when we were still in the radio studio, I think maybe 2009, Shelby Ring, then in high school, came to give us a testimony. It still rings today — if you will forgive the pun.

However, thank the Lord, we are seeing a great awakening/revival among our young people. They are hungry, thirsty, and serious.

And it is a good thing, because no joke, our young people are under assault. Drug usage we think is like our day, but in fact, it is seriously deadly. And it is an intentional attack, coordinated by a foreign power that has used drug as warfare for centuries, and brought in by cartels who are more sophisticated than you imagine.  Then, on top of that, if the faculty at their government school is not also drunk/addicted, they are pushing sexual depredation. The curricula and library selections are nothing short of grooming, and every week the news media records another faculty indicted for depredation. Given the pushback on political forays into common sense restrictions, one wonders what is NOT caught. Stories of the darkest kind can be found. Demons lurk among us.

But Jesus came as the light of the world, and Jesus Messiah shines in our world, if we open a window or door. Let’s celebrate the light that came in for Shelby — who, by the way, is still around. Thank God.

May the light of Christ Messiah light our lives, our families, our cities, and our nations. May both we and the spheres sing His praises. Thank God, we have a God who is salvation, who is hope, who is love and goodness.This is what we need! Amen!

Our third and final in our little series on how to pray for healing. Whether for yourself or for your children, it is important to know that God wants you to live well and healthy, and what blocks the “download” of the manifestation: unforgiveness, strife, etc –but most importantly: not asking.

Today is also Thanksgiving here in The United States. Today, we might realize how hard a heart we have, from wounds, from resentment, or just from lack of gratitude. I recommend a wonderful Thanksgiving special from Johnny and Elizabeth Enlow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNggUH9LF9w

Mothering and Salvation

The problems that mothers feel the most have changed over the years. Back in the 1980s we were tormented that our children were not doing well in school. In the early 2000s, we learned that “learning disabilities” were common. We were then puzzled why we were having so many physiological issues that “no one knew about.” We began to be locked into controversy about whether vaccines caused autism. By the 20 tens we were just overwhelmed by the massive problems our children were having. In the 2020 we are flabberghasted at the problems that society is bringing us. We just hope our children are not raped, mutilated, or alienated from us. We think now that learning problems like “learning disabilities” are largely dealt with. We are exhausted.

The root cause of everything is evil in the world, brokenness of humanity. Wouldn’t it be great if there were one over-arching solution? Good news. There is. We call it salvation. Today, for most people, this word has a strange, religious smell to it. It means rescue! In Central America, there is a beer named “Salvation” because there the refreshing quality of a cold beer could find no better term!  Salvation is rescue, it is refreshing, it is also a total renewal of reality.

As mothers, as grandmothers, as educators, we sure need a resurrection out of decay, dirtiness, and darkness.  Jesus is there. He brought it to us. Came down from heaven to walk among us humans, to offer His Divine Hand.

Hear how this could apply in your child’s life.

Blessings.
