Hannah Montana Exposed...

Well...if you watch or listen to any kind of news, you've probably heard the big hipe about Hannah Montana, aka Miley Cyrus. She did a somewhat sultry layout for Vanity Fair magazine.
Having a daughter that watches the Disney show "Hannah Montana", I was somewhat disappointed and sad from the current events. On the otherhand, I think this a great opportunity not only to teach my dear, sweet, innocent daughter some very important values/morals.

My dd looked up to Miley...she was very disappointed by her actions and said, "I'm not going to watch her show anymore. I don't like her anymore." Then she wrote a letter saying something about how she was a fan, and now she doesn't like her anymore. My response was..."You're really disappointed in her choices aren't you? But that doesn't mean you have to stop watching her show. If she continues in this behavior I think you should, but remember we all make mistakes. We shouldn't judge her and decide we don't like her. We need to pray that she will be sorry and ask GOD for forgiveness and that GOD will send people in her path to teach her the truth, HIS TRUTH. Instead, how about if we write a letter saying something like...I really like you, but I'm really disappointed in your choices, and I hope you won't continue down that path. I will be praying for you."

I'm sure there's quite a few people that can't believe that I let my dd watch this show anyhow. I watch it with her and if there's anything I find questionable on it, we talk about it. Why shouldn't we let this be a learning opportunity just like anything else in life? (mind you within guidelines)

I think this has been a great opportunity to teach my dd who she is really suppose to look up to. It's also a great opportunity to show her everyone makes mistakes, bad choices in his or her life...I will be looking forward to see how this situation plays out in Miley Cyrus' life...If she will continue down this sad path or realize this was a bad choice. I think it will be a continuing lesson for my dd on good or bad, GODLY or GODLY choices....and I like that!!! It's also a great opportunity to remind my dd that we live in a lost world and it's so important to lift those that don't know HIM in prayer and to be an example of HIS love!

Blessings until next time!

Church Billboard

We made it safely to SC, but not without incident...but I'll share that later.
We don't have internet connection, except if we drive up to RV owner's property...can't get wireless connection down where we are at. :( Dh is still trying to work on it.
I didn't realize that SC's church poplulation was mainly Baptist...interesting to say the least. Literally every corner there is a Baptist church!

Today while running errands I read on a church billboard..."Love your enemies. You made them!" Can you say IGNORANT???

IGNORANT from Dictionary.com

–adjective
1.
lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.
2.
lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
3.
uninformed; unaware.
4.
due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.
[Origin: 1325–75; ME ignora(u)nt <>ignore; see -ant]

If I recall off the top of my head, JESUS was telling us to love our enemies because HE was speaking to believers and reminding us to love our enemies because it is not us they are against, it is HIM! When are people going to realize that sometimes others don't like us, are offended by us because of the light shining in us? We serve a REAL GOD and there is a REAL devil.
Ephesians 6:12 reminds us...
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Okay, rant over...

Blessings until next time...(and I look forward to being online daily soon)

Adios and Happy Birthday Dad!

This will be my last post for a while, until we get to South Carolina and get internet service of some kind...the RV park we are going to doesn't have any. DH has offered to help them remedy that problem...probably mostly on my behalf...he knows it's my connection to the outer world. :) Isn't he a sweetie?

Also, today is my Dad's 71st. Happy Birthday, Daddy Honey!!! I love you!
