Good morning
Its a beautiful blue sky day again today. And yet my heart is worried.
My parents had a problem at their house yesterday. And I can't go into the details. My heart is just sick about all of it. And I feel so sstrongly that their making a very very very bad decision. And yet who am I to judge their raising of teenagers...I'm not their yet.
In regards to another issue that is going on in their house with teenagers which I CAN talk about. I am so sickened by porn. I think when our kids hit pre-teens we will go off-line. My brothers have both been tempted to find it on the net. And the links are everywhere. My brother was searching a clothing site and found a link to porn.
My parents NOW have a cyber-sitter on their computer...but the damage has been done.
My brothers are now looking for it...and they like it...and they don't know how to get out of the snare. My parents no longer have sattelite tv that removed some temptation. But oh my goodness does our society TRY to make them sin. 90% of tv commercials for crying out loud IMO are soft-porn. Gyrating bodies with bellies and boobs showing as much as they can. My husband can't watch the @#$@*&( commercials any more. And if this is the way it is now what the heck is it gonna be like when my sons get older?
I'm normally not a panicky person about society. But I'm soooooo depressed by this garbage.
Oh and do you know what porn leads into? Child molestation, raping, etc. Anything to get a thrill.
I tend to wonder in my fear encrusted mind can I trust my brothers to be around my girls now? How sick is that????
And do they know how they are violating their future wives? It would break my heart to know that my hubby had spent hours looking at other women besides me.
Here I am over-weight, and not-so-beautiful in the worlds standards...but my husband finds me beautiful...because I am his and he can look-unashamedly at me. That is an incredible feeling. Will my brothers be able to say that about their wives after having spent hours looking at other women?????
Okay enough editorialing....if you think of it pray for my parents and their raising of their second family. You think I'm a drama queen you have NO idea the garbage my parents have been put through in life over the last 3 years...plus the fact that my dad has been unemployed for LARGE amounts of time, so they are trying to raise 6 children on nothing......

))) Desensitizing... it's all over. I had continual told my children Prov. 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Hang in there! 
It's terrible isn't it? I worry so much about that and the violence they are exposed too. I thought I could protect dd - but they made swords and fought a dragon to get treasure at Playcentre...sigh.
At least your children know what breasts are really for. That's a start.
My heart is breaking for your family.
I wish I knew nothing about this subject, but unfortunately I do. I will most certainly be praying for them. (((((
)))))
BTW; I LOVE your new background.
Hugs young lady...and know you won't cause a family feud between the daughter and I....*g* The concern is they are set up for much needed counseling that sarts next week. And, I want them out of Vegas ...soon ... but there are some issues that they need to let God tend to first ... then I think I will go and help them pack their bags.
As to the situation at you folks home ... this really is an area of concern. What is scary is many accept these things as normal. Phooey on that. To think kids can go to the libraries and view this stuff too... well... 'nough said there.
Take care and hug all those kids just for me....
*hugs* Just remember, that God can forgive all sin, and so can you...
But I agree... it's terrible, and I hate the thought of my husband looking at any of it too. The sad thing is that it's becoming acceptable to a lot of society, and so it's hard to avoid it... all we can do is try to teach our children well (not that I have any yet), so when they do come into contact with that sort of thing, they will be able to make the right choices.
God Bless!
