What a difficult time we live in now. You can't trust the school to give your child a proper education. To come along side you and your endeavor to raise up a child in the way he should go so when he is old he wont depart from it. What happen to that cultural thought process? There's even more distrust with the colleges now days to entrust your precious child to higher educated people to help them to become even more useful and productive people of the Lord and the country.
What has happened to our country? We used to be a solid Christian nation standing for solid Christian values; where the people answered to one God, the Creator of the Universe. The schools are teaching our very innocent, trusting children, through very nice teachers...trusting teachers with sweet faces...that their parents aren't as smart as their teachers are and they themselves are learning things the parents didn't and that they should have the "talk" with them to help them understand the government is for us. And that the government is there in place to take care of them and they (the government) will see to it they get all the information they need to make good decisions. The government via the school system is corrupting our society THROUGH OUR CHILDREN!!!!!! This sickens me and many other parents who are finally waking up to the barrage of evil being cast upon our children.
I just watched Glen Beck's show on "Indoctrination of Our Children", where actual video footage was shown in real school rooms of teachers telling the children about how the government is set up to "take good care of us" and actual footage of Vice President Al Gore talking to the children in a class room about how "stupid" these childrens parents are and how much smarter the kids and the teachers are than their parents. WHAT! This enrages me!
Ok so what can I do about this...well, I think I am doing what I can...we home-school our children. They get the truth of who, what, when, where and why our great country was formed. We teach them their rights, privileges and duties as a citizen of Gods Kingdom and of this country. That's not so much the problem at the lower level ages of (home) schooling...what about college?
It used to be a noble thing to go to college, only the smart kids went or the richest ones got to to on to a higher education. Ok that may seem a bit unfair at first glance, but if you look deeper into the problem "equalization" has caused a nation wide epidemic of "entitlement" among our youth. That "old school" thought process really wasn't that unfair. You work hard in school and earn your right/way to go to college, if your family couldn't afford the tuition then you either worked your butt off to make it happen for yourself or you didn't go! But thats when college was a noble place to go for higher learning. Now its just more indoctrination at the expense of the "stupid" parents pocketbook. Are we're too stupid to just drop into line and follow everyone else "drinking the Kool-Aid" of our socialistic government? They are taking our childrens' hearts and minds hostage and turning them against the "family" - God's family!
I wonder if Dave and I have become part of the problem not the solution for our children. Well, for Danielle at this point anyway. I believe out of fear, we told her we'd find away to pay for her college tuition she just needs to go. I am not so sure that's the right thing to do.
FEAR? Fear of what? Fear of her becoming like we are struggling to make ends meet? Fear of her hating us and becoming depressed? Fear of her not becoming all she can be? Fear of what our/her friends will say? Fear of what the people in the community/family will say knowing we home-schooled her? At what point do we say enough with "fear of man"? And at what point do we say "Have your way with our lives, God!" and mean it? At what point do we say enough to government control of our families? She wants more than anything to be a stay at home mom and raise her children in the comfort and safety of her home with a loving husband that feels the same way.
Is God not bigger than all of this? Can't He find a way when we can not? Doesn't He already know how this will all play out? Why am I so wrapped up in fear of the unknown when it's already known, just not revealed?
"Be still and know I am God!"
"Yes, indeed you are!" "But..."
Gods word in a lamp unto our feet, not a flood light on our future. This has to be one of the biggest, consistent, struggles I have, with God. And I have successfully (or unfortunately) passed on this besetting sin (arguing with/doubting/not trusting God) onto my beautiful daughter. Oh sure, we have flashes of brilliants in this area but for the most part...not so much.
