Beth's Antics

I have decided that from time to time I will be borrowing some, what I consider, good information from my daughter Beth Lassitter's blogspot. She started writing her blog at least a year before me and also was the one who got me started on my own spot. 

Enjoy!!

The Lions' Den

If you put your child in the Lions' Den (public school), expect for them to be eaten. It will happen. If by some wild chance they don't get eaten, they will come out with the stink of the pit on them. The false religions of evolution and humanism, the perversion of music, the twisting of sexuality....all of this will mar he/she in ways that will never be erased. Do not expect your child to be a "Daniel". Most kids can't live up to those expectations. You shouldn't expect them to. Children are vessels to be shaped, and you as the parent are supposed to help guide them into what they are meant to be. God entrusts you with the raising of his children. Will you then throw them into the pit of despair to worry and stress over the lions? What type of vessel are you molding?

Art Class

My mother in law sent my girls acrylic paints and canvases as a "snow day" activity. Well, it snowed the other day, and since we have started Christmas break, I decided to pull them out. It kept them quiet a LOOONNNGGG time. And they loved it.

How Far Do You Take Friendliness?

This is Annelise hugging Geoffrey the giraffe outside of Toys R Us. Annelise wants to hug anyone that is dressed up in a costume...which I don't understand in the least. Maybe it is because she is (like all other children) naturally trusting.

As a parent in these times, I have often wondered where we are supposed to draw the line. Should we teach our children to be friendly to everyone, regardless of race or religion...or do we teach them to be cautious, never talking to strangers? I've heard so many horror stories, as I'm sure you have, of abducted kids, molested kids; kids whose parents leave them in a car by themselves-the list goes on and on. I tend to hang overly cynical and cautious. What if I send these vibes to my children and they grow up paranoid freaks? This is just one more thing in the "worry" pile.

For now...I let her hug, but I am literally 5 steps away. I am ready to tackle the giraffe if needs be (just kidding...I think). Try anything funny, buddy...and you're going down.
