Sleep

DailyParentTip RT @60secondparent: Good Sleep for Children
Leads To Better Quality Of Life: http://bit.ly/cBwRDx #parenting #moms #dads

Yep yep yep
Good sleep makes for better quality of life, and beter cognitive skills, hence grades, too.
Tips for better sleep:
No stimulants right before bed, including caffiene and red dye.
Not too much light in the room.
Quiet activity before going to sleep, like reading a book and praying -- not like running around or watching action movies.
Pray the promises of God so that children are happy and confident. A family filled with faith need not have a child who is scared of the dark -- teach him/her to take authority.
For those having problems with sleep specifically, claim the promise that God gives his beloved rest, sweet sleep.

Gluten and Casein Free gets into the talk stream

Lots of people are talking about going gluten free. Your child doesn't have to be diagnosed with celiac disease or autism to make this something to check out. We Americans eat more milk and wheat than we need to. If your child is a snot fountain, is having too frequent ear aches, having indisgestion problems, or other problems without obvious cause, check diet. You might eliminate these and see -- as an experiment. In some cases an elimination diet is helpful to detect what the problem is. It is not as if wheat and milk, in pure form and in a balanced diet are anything but good. It is just that given our overdependence upon them, and other problems, children (and others) are more often having problems with them.

Using the internet as a tool to fish for men

Well, I'm trying, especially in the pool of moms and educators. Anyone with me?

You don't have to be extremely tech savvy or be a great writer. It is easy. For instance, next to the copies of my broadcast (back to home, then select ARCHIVE) notice there is a "share" button. Punch that and send to a friend so she can hear it too.

Or retweet a saying that is meaningful, if you are on Twitter.

Or if you really want to get into praying with us, joing GSB Prayer Room on Facebook.

Love, Sister Sharon

Will the Government Try to Regulate Curricula in Private Colleges?

Christianity Today is reporting new regulations that may either regulate curricula in privately run schools (including church owned such as Baylor, Notre Dame and many others) or refuse to grant financial aid.

Many questions arise.

Why was the response to corruption in for-profit school met with regulations that attack the freedom of religion?

Are we financing/subsidizing students or schools?

Universities have strict regulations in terms of accreditation. Why does the government feel that they can over-ride this longstanding and respected system?

Why does the business concept of buyer beware not apply here? Sure, any potential student should ask the recruitment officer how many of the graduates have jobs upon graduating and what kind of money they make. Every time, that should be asked. It used to be. But now government regulations are cited as disallowing the school to answer. Why not fewer regulations, rather than more?

How is it that the government feels it can regulate the curricula in colleges and universities at all? Aren't professors the content expert? Don't they make the decisions, rather than the administration? Has the success in public school been so great (NOT; the worst in the industrialize world) that we should extend what they do to universities (the best, most competitive in the world.)

Given the huge money shortfall, where will we cut higher education? If religious schools are on the block first, then is there a bias in the government?

If the aim is against "pervasively sectarian schools" (who often don't want to be regulated or funded by the government in any case) why take aim at all institutions owned by churches, and so including Baylor and Notre Dame. Note that up until now these sorts of schools have taught a mostly secular curricula.

Has the Devil over played his hand here? Was it not enough that academia is pervasively dismissive of faith? Now the government will attempt to step in, contrary to academic convention, any business sense, and every bit of reason about raising educational standard, -- will not these insitutions realize they are being threatened.

Has "culture wars" moved from the concern of a few marginal folks to persecution of all the church?

Or was this a mistake? Or misunderstanding?

Speak faith clearly to those who object

Here is a book that will equip you to speak intelligently and intelligibly to skeptics. While yes, sure, most young people want a relationship, they are also fairly cynical about approaches. Sure, go try to have relationship. But that whole approach ignores the fact that there is a whole world out there, several generations that have intellectual question/objections to the Christian faith. Most of the Christians they have met are faith only/don't think. Therefore they really have concluded that there is nothing to Christianity, that followers of Jesus are just bobble heads. And therefore the problem in society. It is high time we get educated to talk with them, have an answer for the hope within us.

Check this out and let me know how you like it.

I found lots of good words on Twitter this morning. One was a thanksgiving that she was surrounded by such great friends and leaders. Wow! And if since I was with her, so was I.

Look for wisdom, and you will find it. Want some, follow the trail of some of these tweet threads.


Take time to see beauty, and you will see it. As I sit in the park on Sunday, I see the beauty of the trees, ponds, plants, and children. The world can go on in its mess, worry, and corruption, but the creation continues to reflect God's original plan.

Open to love, and channel love, and speak love, and you will have it. Be invited to partner in love. Share some today.

And friends and leaders -- thanks for being out there all around. Praise God.
