I am back in town. I lied about blogging again furiously when I got back in town.. sorry.

I have started reading a book about child rearing that I heard about on World Net Daily It is a great book - hard for me because I am realizing a great deal of mistakes I have made - but everything in it definitely resonates with common sense unlike most stuff that is put out there (Dr. Spock or anything that has resulted in our degregated society)

But while I was reading I wondered this - Why is it that Christians who so often advocate the death penalty - tit for tat ... are so soft on their kids whom they proport to love? I guess that the death penalty is more those bad people out there deserve justice - but not my kid. ( don't get me wrong I am not advocating us killing our children but that we should care enough about those we love not to be so soft on them ) While reading this I am realizing why that now that I am an adult I am having to learn obedience and self-control... because I was not taught it as a child by the ones that should have taught it to me. (once again - another caveat I am not blaming everything on my parents - in reality they were not raised as well either... and I am still responsible for my own actions - I just did not learn that until I was an adult.) Clean needle parents beware - if we make excuses for our children's sin then they will too when they get older. ( Clean needle meaning - "My kids are gonna use drugs - its part of growing up - might as well give them a clean needle, or a condom, or birth control or whatever fill in blank .)

More updates from my reading.
