Recommended Viewing for Moms and Dads

A little before my time, a song was made famous by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.  It is one of the first soings that I learned to play in the guitar.  Not really sure of all the some actually mesans, but the message of the title is imperative.... 
Teach Your Children....

The lyrics go like this:

You, who are on the road, must have a code, that you can live by.

And so, become yourself, because the past, is just a good bye.
Teach, your children well, their father's hell, did slowly go by,
And feed, them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you're known by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh, and know they love you.



And you, of the tender years, can't know the fears, that your elders grew by.
And so please help, them with your years, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach, your parents well, their children's hell, will slowly go by.
And feed, them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you're known by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh, and know they love you.



Recently, I have been reminded of how important is it to tell parents not to be afraid to teach your own kids and to be involved in what your kids learn.  I have been finding things on the web that I would recommend anyone watch, if they are interested in the world of education, but particularly recommend for those parents who wonder about their own role in the education of their own children.  First and foremost I recommend reading some John Taylor Gatto.... and you can start with this video production, "Before You Send Your Child To Public School."  and this one as well... about his own experiences, number two in this series....
where he expounds upon, "I quit, I think."  I can attest that this man understands what he is talking about because I have experienced what he talks about from another perspective.... and then some.

Next, I recommend you view the results of people being kept in the dark...

Many people just repeat what they have been told.... they do what they have been told without thinking, and they just do not care.  They don;t think for themselves....and often they do not have their facts straight because they have no sense of curiosity.  They don't ask questions or seek answers.  In many cases, they have no desire to know the truth..

They will remain in the dark.... until someone turns on the light, then hopefully, they will be able to think clearly and make honest, thoughtful and intelligent decisions.

Teach your children.  Read to them.....and  don't pass that responsibility off to people you do not even know.


Finally, today I recommend that you think about  the history that you personally know and then view the 180 Movie.produced by Ray Comfort.  (Warning.... contains graphic and upsetting photos..but done in truth.)



and thenbe amazed at God's goodness to those in darkness in Ray Comforts other production called
Evolution vs God


I would like to add that I  wonder a little bit about Ray's detailed theology.  I do not really know what it all entails.   I do love that he engages people to tell them about God's law and Jesus.  I appreciate how he  encourages them to read their Bibles and to think about what they believe, about life and death and God.   For this reason I think viewing these two short films is worthwhile for moms and dads.

Teach Your Children ...well.
