The Mission of the GSB Ministry

Did you know that I started this to help mothers with children who had learning problems (aka “Learning Disabilities”)? Of course, I want to stay rooted in faith — faith to find natural solutions as much as to receive supernatural miracles! Did I go too far in failing to say “learning disabilities” so that the search engines couldn’t help you find me?

Of course, everything is connect to everything in some way. Better nutrition for better brains is an interest of the grandparent generation maybe even more than it is of most moms. Of course, education reform is of interest maybe even more to educators than to moms of children with special needs. Maybe moms want more faith talk. Maybe some moms tolerate the faith talk to get new practical ideas.

Please tell me who you are and what you are interested in? Help me help you, yes? And engage so we can be a better tribe. Like Junia and I said, we are lionesses: we go get what our cubs need. We work together with other mothers in our family and in our community. Engage with us, okay? (BTW, there is a Facebook page, too. Post funny things there, if you like. Comment below, if you like. Email me or mail me. ) Just let us hear from you. Thanks! Sharon

The Center of all Character Development, All Religious Education

Homing down on the very center, the very essence of the first most important task of a good parent. We found, very surprisingly, last week that religious education was primary, because it was primary to call character foundation, which is foundational to anything else we might want to convey to our children. So, it that is so, what is the center, best, single most important thing we can convey in that religious education? I give it to you here.

It might be surprising. It might be shockingly familiar. However, it can not be controversial. It is the center of all of Christianity, and agrees with the center of Judaism. Further, while the outcomes agree with the desired outcomes of other good paths, the center is centered on the uniqueness of the message: grace.

You will want to hear this. The surprising, and almost never discussed center point of what being a good parent is.

How to Be a Good Mother

Introduction of how to be a good mother, why we are in such a big problem, how to move forward, how to truly/really change the world, but only if you have enough courage to gather evidence, compare it with an open mind, and admit your conclusions. The answer is rooted in love, but real love is altruistic and wise. Real love will prepare children to be successful adults. So the way to be a good mother is to love your children enough to prepare them to be successful adults. Yes, but that is difficult. Where does one start? What is the most important thing to do, from which the rest flows? Next time, that answer.

Because a listener might want all of this together, instead of isolated bits, scattered in the podcast with other topics, it will be available all together (when completed) IF the listener will email me with his/her name and email address and request. Please feel free to add any information about who you are and what your interests are.
