Straight from the President

Leave a reply

Want to know more about the amendment suggested by parental rights to protect America from the threat of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child? You have the opportunity to hear all about it straight from Michael Farris, president of parental rights and co-founder/chairman of HSLDA.

Michael Farris will be interviewed by Gov. Mike Huckabee on the Huckabee show on the FOX news channel tonight and will be on again Sunday at 2 am, 8 pm, and 11 pm. Please take the time to catch one of these shows. Parental Rights suggested that you record it to show to friends and loved ones who may not be aware of how the government is trying to take control of the upbringing of our children.

So put it on your calendar or your list of “must sees!” It is well worth it!

See these previous blog posts for more information about parental rights and its fight against the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

I read Philippians 2:1-18 today and realized just how proud I really am. How are you doing?

1Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.14Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.17Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

A Romantic Proposal

2 Replies

The coolest thing about re-organizing is that you get to walk down memory lane as you uncover precious treasures.

About two years ago, I shared with you the story of how Luke and I met and told you a bit of our story. One of those precious treasures I uncovered was a copy of Luke’s proposal to me. Isn’t he romantic?

Weddings are a wondrous thing.
I want to give you a ring.
Life without you would be pain.
Life with you my greatest gain.

Years I’ve waited and would pray,
Oh! How I longed for the day,
Until the time I could say,

My dearest one, these words are true,
All of my love I give to you.
Receive this token,
Ring unbroken.
Yes, all my love I give to you.

May God always bless our love.
Each moment, bliss from above.

– Luke Gedeon

  • I have an idea! Why don’t I step on a stool to reach a can of juice, drop the juice, and try to catch it with my shin! 🙂 #

A Major Change

Leave a reply

I have finally come to that point in my life when disorganization is actually a problem. I have been disorganized all my life. I should not have been disorganized then, but now it has the potential to ruin my life. Or at least it did.

As a stay-at-home mother of five home schooled children, who also has responsibilities at church, along with being a secretary to my work-at-home husband, I need to be able to find things.

When I was single, and even married with a few kids, I was able to maintain the disorganization. I could find anything because I remembered where I had put it. As the kids added up, things did not stay where I put them. Someone would come along and “put it away” for me. Then I was in a mess.

I discovered a few months ago that I was not satisfied with the amount of time that I was spending with my children. I tried to start spending more time with them, but because of my lack of organization, I was not able to keep up with all my responsibilities. So the time I was able to give to my children was not undivided because I had all the other “to-dos” on my mind.

This lack of quality time spent with my children was the final straw in convincing me to do something about my lack of organization. I decided to send the kids off for a visit with friends while I took care of the root of the problem.

I know that sounds backwards, but think about it like this. I could go months or even years giving them my distracted attention, or I could let them have fun at a trusted friends house while I get rid of the distraction.

While we’ve been elbow deep in organization, our kids have enjoyed a large yard to play in, rides on a four wheeler (with an adult), a birthday party complete with pizza, and a hike in the woods. (Wait a minute…I think I might be jealous!) 😀

So, which is worse? A week without any time with mom and dad, or months (or years) with only second rate attention? Which would you have preferred as a child?

I am missing my children desperately, but beginning tomorrow, I get to start spending guilt free quality time with them on a daily basis! And that makes all the missing worth it!

Stay tuned for more information on the actual nitty gritty work that we did while the children were having a blast with our trusted friends!

Organization Tip: Start

Leave a reply

I have been trying to organize my house for what seems like years! The first bit of organization that I found that seemed to work well and made me seek other bits of organization was finding a place for shoes.

An amazing thing happened when there was actually a place to put shoes. Everyone now knew where to find their shoes! No more lateness to church on Sunday morning because of a missing shoe! Okay…..a lot fewer instances anyway!

The funny thing about giving everything a place is that I cannot stand to see something laying on the floor if I know where it goes! I have to put it away. And that is how my husband convinced me that every teeny weeny item in our house needs a place to belong.

Now that I am convinced, Luke is excitedly teaching me his method of organization. It sounds a bit overwhelming at first, which is why it took a while to convince me that I really wanted to do it. But once I got started, I discovered that it really isn’t that hard to do the steps he suggests.

So, do yourself a favor. Get started assigning places for all your things, and maybe even getting rid of a few. Don’t sit around dreading organizing your house. I bet you’ll have a hard time stopping once you get started! After all, getting started is half the battle!!
