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."

How About You?
How About You?
Are you drifting along with the crowd? Have you thought that if everybody else is doing something, it must be okay? Do things you know are wrong sometimes seem not so bad now? If they do, ask Jesus to forgive you for going the easy way and drifting away from Him. Be faithful in studying His Word and obeying it. Each day, ask God to help you, protect you, and keep you close to Him.
Memorize:
Do not be conformed to this world. Romans 12:2

Prayer Time with My Kids
I often hear mom's say that they wish their husbands would pray with their kids at bedtime, etc. I also hear mom's say that they wish they weren't the only ones leading their children on their spiritual journey. Maybe some dads do need to take a more active role, but I can't stop doing what I'm already doing. I thoroughly enjoy praying with my kids and am amazed at the influence it has on their lives. I don't want to miss out on the joy it brings me...nor the one-on-one time it gives us each day.
Recommended reading on this topic: Power of a Praying Parent by Stormie Omartian. This book has been my resource for years. It provides verses and prayers on so many topics!
Stay Blessed!
