Fear Of Christianity

       Last year I had a child in an alternative school. This was an exploration by the district to see where a child belongs who has so many issues, along with having autism. They are the experts I was reminded as we have now passed over a year with him being in too many schools, and too many programs, but he knew as long as I had hope so would he. Here is where God came in.
        I told him at the start he can pray before school, pray before bowling, pray at meals and before bedtime, pray anytime he wanted to and even in school. We bought many Christian movies which he loved, having barely been exposed to religious education prior to living with me. He wasn't sure about God, if he believed in him or not, had all of the same questions many of us have and the biggest one was, "how do I know God is really real, I mean how can you prove it he said to me."
        My answers were things like, look in the mirror, we are all miracles simply by being born and it progressed from there. I don't think a scientist  way back when could have created birth, sleep, waking up and all forms of  life in general. So he started to pray and would ask me to pray for him, would whisper in my ear at the bowling alley, "will you pray for me ?"
        Now it comes to this alternative school. I bought him a cross and yes I was worried about the chain, but it seemed a teacher was more worried about what was on the chain, that symbol, that shiny cross. He was proud of it and I did warn him, some may tell him he has to remove it or hide it. He asked me what to do and I told him to do what he thought was right. He asked what if I get in trouble and I told him, you won't be in trouble at home. He came home that day with the cross tucked inside his shirt. His teacher told him it would be better if he wore it inside his shirt, and more which he didn't understand, so no one would see it. Political Correctness? Bull! It was FEAR .

      He didn't want to have an unhappy teacher that day so he did as she suggested, and he came home disappointed.                               What is the FEAR???
                         Is the fear that it's contagious? if so, then that's something I would want a whole school of misbehaved kids to catch.  Here we are the land of the free, ---with restrictions. Sundays were days of open door churches, now  too many are locked, destroyed, abandoned, sold to other religons and or communities. People will go in and steal instead of praying, all fears churches have, but the faith is the biggest fear. Christianity in many homes was right up there with the law. Do wrong and you will be punished. Now it's wrong to simply show you're a Christian.
          Yet other faiths can close down a NEW YORK CITY street, now want their faith acknowledged in schools and have come to this country, this country which has an open heart, but they, yes they are trying to take over our beliefs and believe it or not-this all started with freedom. Madelene M Ohare's freedom to fight prayer in school, fight for something she didn't believe in, fight for something she was afraid of. So if we had one woman, one atheist woman able to take prayer from schools, what do you think people from another country will do? Imagine if their laws applied here as they are trying to accomplish in other countries?
                                                                                      They are trying to enforce their religious law in other countries because they are AFRAID of CHRISTIANITY. Look what is done to people of the Christian faith who are visiting and helping in other countries !!!  Look at London, who "they" are trying to enforce the religious law from the country "they" left !  Christianity should not be feared but embraced. I bet many of us wished old Madeleine she was alive now and we can send her up front to "them" and she can join "them". All because of FEAR. I have one last thiing to mention,
                                  "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS !"

    

Screaming Children in Public

         I had a chat with my son today who is a great dad. Part of the conversation had to do with screaming kids and how others see them and the parents. When these things happen in public, sure its annoying, it's irritating and upsetting. Here you are trying to shop and suddenly a piercing scream, verberates your thoughts and so what do you do as an outsider. You glare, over and over again. You complain and you judge.
         Next time, either ignore, ask mom or dad if you can help, or simply mind your own business and think. Think that maybe that child isn't just a brat, isn't just misbehaving and maybe mom and dad, either or, are very good parents, but know very well their child just may be autistic. You don't.
        You only hear the sounds, so please stop and say a silent prayer for those parents and that child, that they get though doing what they need to do. No one knows what's going on and the child may have  an illness too of some kind. We just don't know. Be patient, take care of your business and leave. Don't be so quick to assume. You know what's said about assuming.

Nabi Tablet-grrrr

       Two days ago I bought a NABI Tablet, was told at Best Buy in York, "yeah, all ya have to do is plug it in, charge it and it's ready to go". Now tech salesclerk was a nice enough guy, but really didn't want to put much time in helping, just selling. He did say it's an older version and it was on sale for 129.00
      Here is the shocker. It needed a lot more than a charge and I also asked if I had to hook it up to a computer and he said no.Well you do, to get it started and to download so much. I charged it for three hours and nothing, so I went on line, looked at u tube videos and nothing compared to what was happening or not happening with this little NABI.
       I learned a new NABI needs to be charged about five hours, still  nothing was easy to open up. Back to Best buy this morning, receipt in hand, ready to get a refund. But there was a tech guy who was amazingly nice. I asked his name before we left, and sorry I forgot it. I am calling tomorrow to get his name, Roberto? Well I'll find out and make sure management knows. He was beyond patient. We had to wait almost an hour while this NABI finished loading and then back to the desk where this nice young tech guy explained so much. I had to stop him because he would have taken as much time as was needed so the little guy and I both understood.
     However after just a little bit and things opening up, I got it! Now easy peasy as people say. My little guy loves it. I just wish sales people would be honest. By the way, there is a NABI site on facebook. I didn't know NAbi is meant a lot for kids with autism, an dthis really helps.

Adoption Stipends, your Child Support

       Have you adopted? Thought about adopting? Yes it is wonderful that you are considering or close to adopting. Depending on how you're about to do this and if you will receive a stipend, please make sure you are really aware and have an attorney standing by.
      Laws change all the time. As parents you will be responsible for all that you know and all that you don't know.  Such as, you ask ?  Here are a few examples concerned with adopting children from foster care. Lets start with the problems these children bring with them, in that invisible suitcase. Not the one you see packed with clothes, but the one you will know all about as they relax, as they get to know, how you too really are and how they will start to becomes their true selves, who they really are.
       Each child is so very different even though they may have the same diagnosis. Remember, gender, age and family background, personalities, cultures, religions and experiences are individual. So when a caseworker or an agency, or children and youth tell you,"oh you know, she's Bi-Polar, so you know how that goes" as an example. Bull.
     In some ways that isn't any different than your own children and parents say, well they were all treated the same. If true, that's sad. One child may love hugs and the other doesn't. One child may prefer cartoons and another would rather play with blocks. Get the point? Same home, same parents, different personalities.
    Back to adoption. As children move in, become used to you, familiar with how they will be treated, consequences and all, your soft spots, your nature, and your forgiving heart, they start to peel away their own outer layers, like an artichoke. Defiance takes another look, no longer just saying NO! Now it's Fuck You, I don't have to listen to you, you're not my real mom or dad! Damages start to happen. Others properties are destroyed out of jealousy. After property damages, it becomes personal. Therapy isn't helping. Other children live in fear and parents don't sleep. no one sleeps as they used to, all because you decided to give a child a permanent home. Now it's as if your children are on the outside looking in and maybe now it's them who need therapy. FAIR???  Hell No , it isn't fair !
       Now school issues are also apparent with calls every day until finally suspension and your child, your newly adopted child is only ten or eight or twelve. No one has any idea how to help this child. Mental illness,, along with anger and jealousy has taken over. Of course that child wonders why his own parents don't want him or her, can't, won't, or not able because they too have mental health problems. That's how it travels , from one generation to another and one opposite gender to another. To sum it all up, this has now come all added up in the child you just adopted, times six generations.
      Okay now it's just you, this child, your other children and your other adopted children, a husband and maybe grandma is living there too. One night, one lonely quiet night this child's mind works overtime. He finds, or she finds matches, or a gun, or a bat or maybe just a pillow. Think the worst. Chances are it has happened. If not someone has been severely hurt and this child has been removed. Police are called and now you start to learn. You have to pay for that call. This child has been sent to different places as he or he is very dangerous, a new diagnosis, and now you have to pay child support. FAIR ????  Not to me. Why ?
     Yes, you made the choice to make that child now yours, at a stipend so low that you can't  afford to pay child support, but the state says you have to. So you may be labeled deadbeat parents. BULL !  Who ever would think you have to pay support for a child who you adopted and is a psychotic insane criminal ? No one, not one person. So we wonder why adoption sites have children waiting for years. Those sites show bio's that are only a few nice things. This is not the reality of these poor kids. I think the laws have to change about adoption and natural parents. If they are not able, don't care, won't take care of their kids, a red flag needs to be placed on their social security numbers to help with any kind of support.  Twenty five percent of disability need to be taken to go to the adoptive parent as is done with other parents own children
    Adoptive parents save states millions in care and this is the thank you, the respect they get back? Someone else and genetics sadly messed up this child up and now who has to pay? The only parents who would take him or her into their home, adding insult to injury and there will be a lot of injury. More than you will ever imagine, there will be.

   Unless you adopt a baby, you are receiving an invisible suitcase, invisible baggage overflowing with  unseen, unfelt at times, horrors. This is a harsh reality. I know of parents who feel adoption is a mistake, not the child, but the FINALITY of adoption. Many adopted children are back in foster care. That stipend? It goes back to pay for care. Please be careful, get an attorney and ask for all records prior to learning the hard way, the hardest of ways, the UNSEEN BAGGAGE.

Good luck is not enough to say. Prayer helps, but having  Warren Buffet as a realtive may help a lot more.
     
     

Azealia Banks & Oprah

        She is twenty-three and hates AMERICA, so let her leave, and leave AMERICAN money she made here, but at the very least stop employing her. I know that won't happen. She can only speak that way because she does live in AMERICA. She hates fat white AMERICANS and the people she states are middle AMERICA, and plain and simple let her go to the homeland she claims, well made attempts to claim-as if she was ripped  from and her language is not natural.
    Some time ago OPRAH made a statement that the only way to end discrimination was for all old white people to die. IS SHE NUTS? I just saw a white man, a KKK member  who is about forty and there are millions of white who hate, anyone who is different.
    There are also millions of blacks who hate whites. The reasoning behind much of this, in my opinion is self hatred. When people aren't happy, they blame others. When they are poor, blame others, on and on it goes.
       So lets take this Azealia who her parents obviously thought would be a beautiful person in all ways and may still think so-love is love-and give Az her wish. Stop booking her to rhyme  as in rap, stop giving her great AMERICAN hotel rooms, stop PAYING her AMERICAN money-yup, find out what the currency is in AFRICA and pay her in money which she feels whole, in which she can relate to, not feel ripped apart, cheated etc.
      We have many intelligent Americans of all races and religions, all classes who accept who they are, where they are and try to do better, or help others do better. Az, get rid of her. Once she leaves AMERICA and I bet she won't, cancel her passport.
