Read my thoughts at http://christian.families.com/blog/how-can-reading-a-psalm-help-you? on psalm 57. Websites for Writers: Deborah Ng's Job Leads - Blog Entry12 Mar 2008 09:10 PM I must take more time to check this out thoroughly. My quick glance showed it looked good. Thanks. This is just another encouragement for this writer, See my blog http://christian.families.com/blog/enter-god-the-encourager Finding a New Purpose - Blog Entry12 Mar 2008 09:03 PM Good points in this blog. It's not always easy to let go and move on. Sounds like you've handled it well Does Your Mate Remind You of Your Parent? - Blog Entry12 Mar 2008 08:51 PM Sounds like a smart move, Jade. You made a conscious choice. Unfortunately not everyone does. There is a certain extent to which it is true, so that children who are abused etc can tend to grow up and repeat the cycle etc. But I think we need to always be careful when we generalise. My husband is not like my father in that he is nowhere near as quiet but he is in other ways, like helping about the house. Tootsie (1982) - Blog Entry12 Mar 2008 08:42 PM I have to admit I've watched Tootsie a number of times and always enjoy it. Dustin Hoffman is a brilliant actor. Just Like Heaven (2005) - Blog Entry11 Mar 2008 09:26 PM I remember this one. It was good. We recently saw the Jane Austen Book Club which on the whole was funny and enjoyable. My husband enjoyed it too, immensely. He's now planning to re-read or read for the forst time some Jane Austen Walking the Mother-Daughter Tightrope (3) - Blog Entry11 Mar 2008 09:18 PM Teaching them when they are young children and then trusting them to know the right decisions when they are older is part of parenting. But it's not always easy to step back and watch them make mistakes, but if we have taught them well and given them a framework of behavior early on, hopefully they won't make many serious ones. Communication is certainly another vital aspect. My daughter and I have always talked heaps. She is an adult now and we are close friends as well as mother and daughter, as I was with my own mother.In neither case we there any serious issues in the teenage years. Parenting with Poetry - Blog Entry10 Mar 2008 08:46 PM I wish more parents would read and share poetry with their children. Maybe they wouldn't lose that love of poetry then as they grow older. I've just writtten a blog about poetry at http://christian.families.com/blog/a-frightening-statistic Meet a Families.com Blogger - Dale Harcombe! - Blog Entry10 Mar 2008 08:42 PM Thanks Tristi, for the interview. We seem to be alike in lots of ways. On another note ,if you're looking for a movie you might enjoy reviewing ( since we like similar movies) have a look at 'The Boy with the green hair.' I didn't review it just made reference to it in this blog http://christian.families.com/blog/why-watch-old-movies Life Should Be Easier, Right? - Blog Entry10 Mar 2008 02:37 PM I know, sometimes God seems to have more faith in what I can handle than I do. But God's word says 'all things work together for good' even the hard things. So, since God doesn't lie we have to trust he knows better than we do and knows what he's doing and why. Sometimes it's a case of knowing that truth in the head and heart while the emotions are trying to convince us differently, but as someone said to me and I found it helpful, it doesn't rely on our feelings but the facts of God's word. Have a look at the opening peom in my blog http://christian.families.com/blog/10-tips-for-combating-negative-feelings-and-improving-your-quiet-time and you'll see how I was feeling when I wrote the poem and some suggestions for those times when it ishard to meet with the Lord. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 |
