K, so one of the many things that cause me stress as a mother-beside kids not doing the dishes or how to night time potty train my boys-is the decay of moral values in this world.
I mean, we've always had wars and we always will-we're human beings.
But good, honest vaules has decayed so much in the last 40 years or more that it's just hard to even want to leave the house with my kids.
I even go to a grocery store where they have a isle specifically called "family friendly"-it doesn't have all those horrible magazines with half naked people and horrid gossip garbage on the front covers.
I don't have cable anymore either
I mean, if I could subscribe to cable and only get things like the history channel and BYU channel, then I'd get it back.
But the rest of them are not even worth the risk of someone in my house watching.
At this point, my older kids are feeling weird at having to watch Disney stuff with their little brothers.
But, I just don't trust a lot of the stuff their peers would be watching.
I'm lucky-my kids like to go to the library a lot, be artistic, study music.
But, there are Pokemon cards in the house-cartoons with violence, Star Wars shows.
I defend those with the fact that I grew up with them-but violence isn't really my biggest fear.
I believe that if someone teaches their children the right way of the world, like that guns are weapons, not toys-we wouldn't have so many children going and shooting their teacher for not giving them an A on their essay.
It's the decay in morality-in the way half naked, or even naked, people are allowed on regular TV shows nowadays that scare me.
That kind of thing is what gets into the minds of our youth and destroys all sense of right and wrong.
Swearing can be on kids' shows now.
Blasphemy, nudity, swearing, crude humor-they're all the norm now.
Everyone is so worried about being "politically correct" that what is good is now called bad, what is bad is now called good.
And to that I say "Shame on us all"-cause it's the sign of end times that this is how our world has come down to.
I love my kids beyond any reason-of course, they're my life.
And to know that I've brought them into this awful world, this horrible place full of hatred and crued ways and selfishness-it saddens me soo much I cry at night.
But God reminds me that this is where I am, and I need to make the most of it for my kids-and myself.
And to fight for the good.
So, here's a couple things that I believe in.
The internet is like everything else in the world-it can be used for great good, or great evil.
I am chosing to use it for good!
Hugs to all
Fawn

PS-hey, this is my blog....I can blather on about my own personal views/opinions all I want-great thing about living in America. If everyone else is allowed to say that gay people can go do whatever they want, that there can be naked women on 8pm TV shows and news can show dead people from the war-then I am not gonna hold back on voicing my thoughts!!!
