Honor from Childhood Throughout Life by Grandma Kris

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Remember when you were a lad or lassie, and you loved your brothers and sisters, your aunts and uncles? You loved to play with the neighborhood kids, and had a pact for life with those you loved: your brothers and sisters and neighbors. You kept your word, told the truth, shook hands on your honor, went to church, and believed in the ten commandments and endeavored to keep them. Your word was your bond. Contracts were not necessary. You could trust others and strived to do your best in school, while treating your elders with respect and dignity, because they treated you in a good manner, too. Your parents didn’t lock the doors of your home. Does that reflect today’s life?
It has changed in our lives since the 1950′s. What shall you pass on the the youth of today? Everyman could start with honor.

What is honor? Websters defines it in a 1940′s dictionary, because the newer dictionaries are corrupted with atheism and Darwinism. Honor-(honos, whence honestus, honest) Esteem paid to worth: high estimation: reverence: veneration: any mark of respect or estimation by words or actions: dignity: exalted rank or place: distinction: reputation: good name: a nice sense of what is right, just and true: scorn of meanness: a particular virtue, as bravery or integrity in men and chastity in females: one who is that which is a source of glory or esteem: he who or that which confers dignity(an honor to his country): title or privilege or rank or birth: one of the highest trump cards as the ace, king, queen, or nave(jack):, respect now restricted, except among the vulgar, to the holders of certain offices (judges) v.t. to respect or treat with honor.

The King James Bible defines honor in Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deuteronomy 5:16 16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Everyman influences 200 people they know in their community along with relatives to whom they are related. This number was told me by a Funeral Home, who has funerals for people all the time. You can give anyone respect. You can be an example to your children, your neighbors, your friends and strangers. The two-hundred people was before Social Media! Now one blogger can reach around the globe and across social lines. Opinions can influence, educate, inspire and change the minds of others in a more positive way. We blog, twitter(old fashioned telephone party line), You Tube(home movies for the world to see) and Face-(ourselves and others on an Internet) Book. I love the idea that I can tell stories to all the children, besides my own.

Every person grows up and has to wrestle with our Father and Mother. It is like facing our own failings and wanting to blame them. But they are imperfect and so are we. We can accept them with all their faults and love them for the good they gave us. The way to restore yourself is to forgive them the pain and suffering in your own life you think they caused. Then, decide how you will live your life and move past their faults into your new habits. The Bible is a manual of all the faults of mankind and how the LORD can change your life into something new, for God has prepared a new thing in your life.

For those children whose Mother and Father abandoned them, there is a heavenly Father, whose Son is Jesus who said if you call on my name and accept me as Lord in your life, I will never leave you or forsake you. You will become my children, my heirs,and the adopted heirs of my kingdom for which there is no end. Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you(when you die) if it were not I so I would have told you. I know about abandonment, for my family abandoned me. It is very painful, but Jesus comes and fills that place that was designed for Him when he created you. It was His Master plan that you would never be alone. He love me and I love Him. And He will do the same for you.
So, when you are lonely, go help your neighbor. If you both walk together, you can help one another. Learn to help others and the good will come back to you. The Bible says give and it shall be given unto you pressed down, overflowing. Go and find a Christian Church and they can become your new family, for they are part of the kingdom of God on earth until we get to heaven.

I think honoring people is the best way insure that you have a place, too. However, a proverb says, “If you call evil good and good evil, evil will come into to your house forever.” You must use discernment of the character before you honor them.
You can respect everyone even when they are mean to you.

The hardest lesson I have learned in the Bible is this one. “Bless those that curse you, do good to them that revile you. . . ” When dealing with other people someone is going to offend you. It is better if you can learn not to take offense. It doesn’t matter what color your hair, your teeth or your shoe size. You cannot change that, and neither can the other person. You can change your mind, your attitude and your outlook of how we judge others. That is where we get into trouble: judging others. We have discernment between what is good and bad. That is built into us from childhood by our Creator. Judgment belongs to the Lord God. He says, “Love your neighbor, do good to them . . . ” Start there. Whatever is good, whatever is kind, make room for your neighbor to live beside you and give them graceful allowances for their differences that are not like you. One of you has to reach out to another. It might as well be you.

We desire to belong and connect with others. We want to be part of a community and neighborhood. Let it start with you. Give and it shall be given unto you, pressed down and overflowing will be given back to you.

Lost Boys at Home by Grandma Kris

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

Having all you Men overseas is hard on the little boys growing up at home, whose Dads, Uncles and Grandpas are away.
The suicide rate in teen children is highest in boys ages 11-18 years old.
#1 death is Driving with others in a car with alcohol
#2 Suicide of boys 11-18 years old
#3 Overdose of drugs by experimentation
Statistics from Focus on the Family. org.

When boys go to school, Women teach.
When they go to counseling, Women teach.
When they go to their parents, the Mom’s teach.
Boys are in trouble with all that women talk!
Young men need men to take them fishing, teach them to work on thier bikes, fix their cars and love them.
A man has the greatest influence in a family by 75% of the structure and influence, stated by Dr. James Dobson.

I was a single Mom for many years. I decided that when my son and daughter were in their teens, they would challenge my authority and beliefs. As a Christian, I told them that they thought I was teaching them something wrong, they could show me in the Bible, and I would change. If they could not, then, the rules stood firm. It caused my children to go to the Bible and search for answers to derail me. My children used God’s authority over mine. They learned. We discussed it. God was first. I was second. They were third. We lived in line of authority and it kept peace in the house.

Remember the lost little boys, when you come home.
You can help each other get well, until you can take your places again.

Oh, by the way, women will gladly relinquish their total responsibility when men step in and help leadership, again.

So:
God be with you while you are far away.
Tell America’s sons we cry when you’re away.
Stand up and be strong,
We’re waiting while your gone.
We are willing and wanting to say,
Welcome home again.

Play an Honest Game of Solitaire by Grandma Kris

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Solitaire is a one deck 52 cards game. I can play anytime, when I need to change my mind or get a fresh idea.
My Mother used to play, and I would watch and help her. I enjoyed it.
I never cheat. When I deal and play, I have a genuine match between the deck and my wits. Cheating deprives me of the opportunity of winning. Cheaters live in a gray area of never developing a skill, never learning small skills that help them win, never finding what moves are most adventurous, never finding the ideas and moves to make them a sharper wit. Cheaters are deprived of being good at solitaire. The one person we must live with is ourselves. I like to keep it an honest relationship.
Winning gives you courage to endeavor to do things well. It teaches you patience. It sharpens your mind and makes you determined.

My son sits down and watches me play. He learns that I never cheat. That passes character on to the observer. He knows I can be trusted. He likes to play, because the rules are the same and I play the cards with honesty and skill. He is there to learn.

Honest solitaire has taught me patience, skills, small steps to win more often, thinking and wits, and a pleasure of honest winning.
I love a good challenge!
It takes skill, patience and practice to win at solitaire.

The Sexual Revolution Ended in America on March 21, 2010 by Grandma Kris

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

I declare March 21, 2010 that on this day is the end of the Sexual Revolution in America. Sexual freedom did not work. We are losing our health, our children s’ health, and our future generations health. Plus, the personal destruction of ourselves to be able to connect with others and bond in marriage and community makes us vulnerable to other countries coming in and taking over our broken lives.

Personally, we are each acting out our lives. When our personal actions are destructive, cause death, give us diseases and ruin our hope of healthy children in our future marriage, then it makes sense to stop outside sexual relationships before we marry. It is better to stop our risk of diseases that can kill us before we get them. I am in charge of my life. I can say no. I can wait until I am married, whether I am a man or a woman. Men, more than women, want an heir for his line of inheritance. Women want to have healthy children and a rich family life.

Men thought they could cheat the safe sex idea by going after younger and younger women and children. Sexual abuse cases are so common that the idea is global in all cultures. We are heading toward the devastation that Africa has endured of losing their parents to AIDS. These children represent future generations 10-20-30-40-50 years that are being infected with herpes, HIV, Sexual Transmitted Diseases (STD’s) and other illnesses unknown. Science did not know about AIDS until the mid 1980′s. Hidden STD diseases may not be apparent or show ill effects until ten-twenty years from today. Mature men and women are destroying future generations of childrens’ health by their selfish, sexual indulgence, addictions of today.

Who will restrain you? If you have a child and you get divorced or never get married and don’t pay child support, the biggest agency in America is the Welfare and Children’s Protective Services will take over your life for 20 years. Did you know that the Welfare system is represented in the courts by the State Attorney General. He/She are in court every day against the public. They elect their own judges and it’s a system of adult abuse that you cannot imagine. It will cost you $1,000s of dollars and still lose. It is better to abstain and not have children than get involved with child support.

Your abstinence decision is not affected by the government, our parents, our neighbors, or our friends. It is your decision. There are additional benefits of abstaining. We calm down. Our chaos goes away. We can began growing as a singular person and develop our own personality. We learn to develop boundaries and grow in the community, where we feel safer from our emotional termoil. We can focus on things outside ourselves. We view our careers with greater zeal. and strive for healthier relationships with people who would make a good marriage partner. We become closer in our community.

We must endure and strive to protect and preserve ourselves with healthy bodies to bear our future children to be born, our future pristine generations building stronger generations born from our marriages. We must preserve our own health, so we can avoid cancer, incurable illnesses and destruction own of our lives. It is mine: my life and my future, my children, my grandchildren and my generations to come. I must take a stand and say, “I will wait until I am married to have sex to avoid STD diseases in my self and my children and my person body of myself and my mate. I want a healthy future. I want a long life. I want to have healthy children and have a long life with many generations who have the same gift that I can give them, by being protected and clean and free from disease. I can do this by practicing abstinence until I am married.”

The ultimate end of no personal sexual restraint is sexual addiction. There is an effect even more devastating. You cannot bond with others. You lose trust, love, your friends and cannot bond with other people socially and emotionally. This is the most destructive of all the pain we can inflict upon ourselves. Violence and rape are the next step. Women fight, men kill. It is destruction of all relationships by ourselves. Lawlessness leads to dictatorship. Jail and prison loom in this future. Society will restrain you.

Dr. McIlhaney and Dr McKissic show that we have sticky brains, that bond to one another chemically. If we have other partners outside of marriage, we become addictive to the act of bonding and having many relationships. So, our natural bonding, sticky brains designed for one partner turn into addictive brains desiring many and never bonding to one partner. We are sexually “Hooked.”

“Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children” (Hardcover)
written by M.D. Joe S. McIlhaney Jr (Author), M.D. Freda McKissic Bush (Author) 2009.

The authors state we lose our ability to bond and stick to one another the more sex we have before marriage. We literally destroy our ability to stick to one another and cannot bond and remain in a relationship.

Casual sexual relations leads to depression. Yet, we want to bond, but sexual activity outside marriage works like an addiction to sex. Thus, it is called hooking up. We are not satisfied with the current relationship. We persue the next new fix.

The authors drew diagrams and maps of our brains and how we respond to sexual interaction. Our sexual responses trigger hormone responses. We are “Hooked” in an addictive, internal chemical pattern. So, like the alcoholic and the drug addict, we are sexually, hormonally, chemically addicted state in our own brains.

Our long-term lives would greatly benefit with personal, sexual restraint until we are married. So, we can stick and bond with one person that we love. We would have a long marriage and many children who would have parents. You decide to step back, abstain and regain our lives for your future of health, family and long life of health.

Washington State Election Results are not totaled until 2009-11-24. The Official Final Count Posts 2009-12-03

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

The National Newspaper reporters  remind me of horse race bookies, placing bets at the last seconds before the finish line to predict the future as if it is the final finish. They have chosen their horse to win, and declare it before the horse gets a photo finish.  Well, rookie bookies, the WA election race isn’t over!  The final Washington State Election results are still running tally. The word “passed” means over in past tense. The future is to come, when WA State elected laws will be verified Dec 3, 2009 by the Secretary of State. Let me repeat myself:

Today is Nov 6, 2009,    The Official final count and validation  will be Dec 3, 2009 by the Secretary of State of WA. The running  results  posted Nov 3, 2009 from the Secretary of State election results are posted  at link: 

http://vote.wa.gov/Elections/WEI/ 

America’s news reporting is getting a black eye, because the news reporters and networks  use  excessive political  pandering. How can our Americans hold our heads up in the World, if news reports are bending, swaying, changing and dodging the true facts and events. We should be credible story tellers, for we represent a Leader of the Western World, our country, America. Story tellers before the newspaper were the most revered person in the tribes, for they were the keepers of history and have kept the legends alive for everyone. Reporters are the same, today.

TELL the TRUTH! We need more credibility in the World. How can Americans and our Neighboring Countries trust our news stories, when individual reporters are so obviously political instead of truthful,  when the true final winners cross the finish line.

Reporters would be truth bearers. I challenge reporters and news media to stand up, step out and endeavor to be the best Representatives of the USA ‘s history, past present and future!
