Great Charlotte Ashley Ideas

 

1. Regular meals:  There is no substitute for family dinner time discussions, fellowship, and communion.  Sharing a table together nightly is a priceless buttress supporting the biblical family model.  

2. Weight-lifting: regular family attendance to a fitness center or the YMCA

3. Swimming: "Go three times a week to the YMCA to swim."  (I agree. This would be very good for our health. And I would enjoy it particularly. Swimming is a beautiful mental experience for me. I think of my parents and my youth in a beautiful sort of way.) 

4. Regular Bible reading each night, with prayer and singing.  (I would like to have a choir, practicing 4-part harmony with the piano.) 

5. A Trashcan in each room.  We now have several at The Popcorn House.  It works well now that I have time to gather and empty them all. 

6.

Letter To Ashley:  

   Dear Ashley,  I have been thinking about you.  You would probably rather have a certain money right now

Here is something I want to recommend to you.  You seem to want independence.  And one strong feature of a college degree, inasmuch as it may be attractive to you is not so much that I see it as "a cultural construct," but rather that it gives you a stable, predictable, low-risk door to making more money sooner than any other avenue you can see right now. 

   I believe you would be pleased with not only the end result ( 6k per month from driving a trash truck), but also the

The Importance of Family

 Family has come under attack, most consistently by the forces of Marxim.   As a  movement , Black Lives Matter has taken that true concept (black lives matter) and twisted it into something completely unbiblical. The organization has recently showed its true colors, openly promoting causes that oppose biblical values. The two co-founders of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza, claim  Marxism  as their ideology: “We actually do have an ideological frame,” Cullors said in an interview, “Myself and Alicia in particular, we’re trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on ideological theories” (quoted in the  Washington Times , “The matter of Marxism: Black Lives Matter is rooted in a soulless ideology,” June 29, 2020).  [Quote:   https://www.gotquestions.org/Marxism-Christian.html ]   From GotQuestions.Org, we read of a Marxist inspired attack on the family, operating subtly through the Bla...

"I Just Wish You Would Respect Me." 2 Kings 5

  9. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the fle...

Sun, Love, and God

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I do not feel like it. I believe in God even when I discover that His judgment allows zero chance for so many of my good friends and loved ones to get into heaven: Those committed to viewing as morally acceptable the celebration of various extra-biblical preferences.  It is sobering to realize that we do not have so much freedom a we may have thought. I had a professor here at the local seminary who said that we may worry that when we are in heaven, we will have our joy tarnished by the understanding that some of our loved ones are not there, but rather are in hell.  He said he believed that a new understanding would arise, to where we fully understand that those in Hell go there freely, in accordance with their most sincere preferences. And they therein belong there, if only because it is the only place of all possible options (two) that they want to be.  Most saliently, they do not want to be ...
