Don't be deceived
Comments (28)
In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 we, as Christians are told that every word of the bible is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. It does not, however say that all scripture is of equal importance. We have to be discerning in our lives in order to figure out the really important things that the bible is setting out to teach us. It doesn't make any sense that we, as CHRISTians should give more credence to Old Testament law or Paul's letters or any other passages in scripture than we do to the words of Jesus Christ...

Do you live with regrets or learn from experiences?
Comments (6) I asked myself this question today as I perused the past 25 years of my life. I certainly had a lot of experiences and there are more than a few things I regret doing, but to be stuck in the regret would be to not learn from the experiences of the past and not learning from past experiences is perhaps one of the saddest ways to live.
I look at the girl I was at age twenty and I do wish that I could go back and tell that girl that she was way more than she gave herself credit for. She had so very little in the way of self esteem that it would be wonderful to be able...

Our experience with "the flu".
Comments (8) Flu is going around at an alarming rate at the schools where my kids attend. The four of them are spread out between three different schools in our district and in each school there have been a number of kids out with diagnosed flu and with flu-like syptoms. This has been going on most of the school year thus far. Since this is unusual for this time of year in our warm-weather area, I have taken a few percautions to keep my kids' immune system strong so that they stay well, or at least are able to stave off the worst effects of illness when it comes their way. ...

Who asked you anyway?
Comments (19)All day I have been thinking it is Friday. Maybe it is just wishful thinking. Or perhaps it is because this week has seemed extra long. Whatever the reason, I am ready for this week to be over. I want a do-over week in the worst possible way.
Amidst the chaos of this week, with a sick kid, volunteer duties and helping my husband prepare for a business trip - all while in the throws of a hormonal whirlwind, I might add - the last thing I need is people coming to my page and my journals and leaving rude comments. Seriously, do people not have any tact...

TRAFFIC SIGNS ARE NOT SUGGESTIONS!
Comments (21)I just got back from dropping my fourth child off at the third school of the morning. I have just one word for the experience at all three schools - ARGH! Okay, that is really not a word, but I am just speechless at the shear number of people who think that traffic signs are not meant to be followed - at least by them. Because for some reason they find themselves above the law in these incidences. That is right, people! It is against the law to disobey traffic signs!
That sign in bright red letters that says - NO PARKING, STANDING OR STOPPING and the hours listed...

Punctuation Junction
Comments (12) Punctuation. What's its function? It seems as though a number of people have lost sight of the function of punctuation. It is often overused, underused and worst of all, just plain unused a lot in Internet writing. This makes reading some posts really tricky. Punctuation has a real purpose in writing and should never be left out, even in casual writing. At the very least a period at the end of the sentence is required. I can live without a comma, semi-colon and a colon, but I just can't live without a period.
If you don't used periods then...

Gastronomic Euphoria or Intestinal Misfortune?
Comments (5) That is the question. What will you experience when you head out to the State Fair of Texas (SFT)? Once upon a time people went to the SFT, looked at prize winning animals, took in a couple of shows, rode a few rides and perhaps grabbed a Fletcher's Corny Dog or a candied apple along the way. Gone are the old days, y'all, now when you stroll along the rows at the SFT, every food booth offers something different in the way of admittedly delicious, but oh so bad for you, probably deep fried, something-or-other. I don't think people...

Choosing our religion.
Comments (25) I was discussing religion with a friend yesterday and was very intrigued with her story about her journey of faith. I find it very interesting how different people come to religion at different times in their life and how we view the world based on our religion and also how people view us based on our path of faith.
Many people, myself included, were sort of born into the religion they ultimately choose for their life. This doesn't mean we never question the tenants of the religion and perhaps even grow to reject some of the teachings of the church at large, while still...

Everyone needs a good rant now and then
Comments (18)Yes, everyone needs to let off steam now and then and I for one think that Cafemom journals is one of the best places to let off said steam. No one will judge me, right? Seriously, you all aren't going to bash me are you? Oh, well, that is the risk I take when I go off on a rant, yes? Not everyone is going to a) agree with me or b) give a flying fig about my rant. So, it is in the spirit of all that is Cafemom-ish that I write this rant. *jumps off the high-dive*
People who brag about their lives are annoying. No one wants to know every small...

Volunteering 101
Comments (2)I have come to discover a thing or two about volunteering that I think would be beneficial for everyone to know.
This first section is addressed to those who are using volunteers to augment their staff.
Volunteers are not employees. What they are doing for you is a free service. You cannot treat them like paid staff members.
If it weren't for the volunteer taking time out of his/her day to stop in and help you, you would either have to do the work yourself of pay someone else to do it. Not only is that volunteer working for you for free, he/she is actually...
