Meet The RIZERS

If you think about the human brain and its capacity to gain new information every day....it blow your mind. Not literally. The human brain has such a large capacity to obtain and retain information that scientist say we only use less than 20% of its capacity. We could be doing so much more!

As I ponder this, I think of all the things I already know. I know a lot of songs but not a whole lot of scripture. I want my kids to memorize scripture too so they can "hide God's word in their hearts". As we all know, putting scripture to music or learning it in a fun way, increases the longevity of memorization. This is where the RIZERS come in. I found this fun, rockin' group that puts scripture to upbeat music. I ordered their cd and my kids love it - and I do too! Check out their website and order their cd. Their cd comes in a 5 pack...so use you have one for each vehicle and to give as gifts. It will be the best purchase you make for 2011.

Let's help our children, and ourselves, RIZE UP and become RIZERS by memorizing more scripture.

Tobacco Candy

"A new group of nicotine products is coming under fire for packaging that is similar to candy. Camel Orbs (packaged as Tic Tac look-alikes), Camel Sticks (dissolvable toothpick-sized sticks), and Camel Strips (similar to dissolvable breath-freshening strips), are a few of the smokeless and spitless tobacco items that pose serious health concerns. Research from The Harvard School of Public Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows 1,768 cases of poisoning in children between 2006 and 2008 involved smokeless tobacco products. It's not just accidental ingestion, but also purposeful ingestion of these products that is a concern. A survey by the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth showed that 39% of those under age 18 thought Camel Orbs were candy or gum and 28% of those youths said they would try a smokeless tobacco product based on its packaging."
