Raising amoral young people
This morning over breakfast, I remarked to my husband that I wished I had good news to post on my blog today. Well, no such luck, as again I’ve run across some unsettling things, such as Dennis Prager’s column, “Why Young Americans Can’t Think Morally.” While the column might present a dismal picture of our next generation, I did come … Continue reading
“I Spy” is more than child’s play
If you think “I Spy” is just a game for children, think again. Our federal government and the public school system have begun to play – but for real and they’re playing with our lives and the lives of our children. Team Obama has launched “Attack Watch,” (www.AttackWatch.com) an interactive website and subcategory of www.mybarackobama.com produced by Obama for America, … Continue reading

I didn’t plan my day well and missed my opportunity … Continue reading

Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder why God ordained that marriage should be between one man and one woman? Families need fathers. Period. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/study-fathers-presence-makes-children-happier-more-intelligent
Sunshine’s getting older
It’s the first day of school here at the Fenelon Clan Abode, and I made our high school sophomore a super-duper, extra-special, sunshine theme breakfast: Eggs in a basket with little mini-sun cutouts, sunshine drink (milk with vanilla, sweetener, and yellow food coloring), and yogurt parfait with bursting sun rays (peach slices arranged along the edge of the glass). I … Continue reading
