America Is NOT A Nation Under God: Charity Israel

 

Facts...all facts. How can believers demand godly behavior from ungodly people? They can lead by example, but it's still the unsaved person's choice to follow Christ or reject him.

Today's Thought

Harsh message, but it needs to be said. I'm tired of reading articles about children and pets dying from being left in hot cars in the summer. Children & pets (even adults) can't endure a hot car for long so why leave them to die? Makes no sense. The only time my dogs are in the car is when we're going for a drive, and I have the A/C on. Otherwise, they stay home while I run errands. With the heat & humidity being like it is, I restrict my dogs outside time to early mornings and late evenings; those times of day it's cooler & they enjoy it better. These tragedies can be prevented if parents and pet owners exercise a little common sense.

Student Debt Relief: Students Scammed By For-Profit Institutions

Student debt relief has been discussed in the news & media, with Biden cancelling another $8 billion for students scammed by for-profit institutions. Right On! Students scammed by for-profit institutions SHOULD have their debt cancelled because it's not their fault their school scammed them, so why should they have to repay loans through no fault of their own? That's ridiculous. Unlike most whiners, I'm happy for those who had student debt wiped out. That's money the recipients can use to start families, businesses, save for retirement, etc. Now...some people are BIG MAD because students scammed by for-profit schools had their debt wiped out. I'm sick & tired of these clowns whining like babies: "WAAAAA WAAAAA, where's my relief? I sacrificed to repay student loans, they should too. I didn't go to college, why should I have to repay others' debts" A lot of student debt relief opponents like to scream taxpayer cost, or they say "It's an insult to those who repaid their student loans" The same arguments are recycled. Guess what? The targeted relief already went through so people need to grow up and stop crying about relief that others received. Just because YOU didn't receive the break someone else did, that gives you a right to be in your feelings over their blessing? Shut up, seriously. It speaks volumes about society when people can be offended over another's relief. I'm sure the complainers got breaks others' wished they received, right? Miss me with that crybaby stuff. Jealousy is not a good look, especially when it comes to student debt relief that others have received. We have got to stop celebrating the struggle. Again, I salute everyone who was/is the recipient of student debt cancellation. I'm pretty sure more student debt relief will be coming soon, and then what are the haters going to complain about next? Knowing them, they'll recycle the same arguments: You took out a loan, you pay it back; It's an insult to those who repaid their loans, taxpayer cost, I sacrificed to repay my loans, they should too; where's my relief, do I get a refund, etc.

Thursday Message: Blessings Don't Come With Sin

It's a curse. You won't enjoy that "blessing" because you did wrong to get it. God's blessings come with no sorrow.

 

Today's Thought: Peace

 

The older I get, the more I understand this statement. I don't see how some people go through life having enemies, but more power to them (I guess). For me, it's peace over everything. Y'all can have enemies, I'll take peace of mind anyday. Moving freely with no worries of who's out to get me, it's a blessing that most drama-filled people will never understand.

How Could A Mother Forget Her Kid For 3 Hours: Nikki Brooks

Repost by Nikki Brooks

Question:

- HOW ON EARTH COULD A MOTHER FORGET HER KID FOR 3 HOURS?!?!?

ANSWER:

You forget and can neglect in a plethora of ways…

ADD 

ADHD

Executive Dysfunction

Exhaustion

Depression

Medication

Stress 

Trauma 

Anxiety

Depression

High functioning Learning or social differences 

Literally brain fogs…..

I know it makes us angry but also, this idea that mothering is easy peasy is false.

This is why the government gotta stay out of our uterus.  Parenting is not a job for everyone. And it’s legit terrifying. 

And this idea that everyone can prevent pregnancies doesn’t take a bunch of stuff into account (ie emotional and financial abuse, religious abuse, etc) 

And yes…not only do some people not need kids - they don’t want them because it’s hard. It’s tough. And you can do things like forget your kids in a car. 

She wasn't lying when she said that parenting isn't a job for everyone because it's not. The evidence is how many children are abused/neglected at the hands of their "parents". I don't know how I feel about a parent forgetting their kid for 3 hours, but it happens. It's been stories where kids were left in hot cars for minutes or up to/more than an hour; if the kid is lucky enough to survive being left in a hot car for a while, they can only cool themselves through panting, and ice cold water. Based on the examples given, I can see how some mothers forget their kid(s) for 3 hours, but...wouldn't something click after a while to let you know your child is probably waiting for you? I'm not a parent, but I can imagine that parenting is a tough job. My parents went through a LOT raising me, so I know parenting is nothing to play with. Parenting doesn't come with an instruction book, so adults parent by trial & error and hope their child(ren) turn out good.
