Seeing You Sucessful At Home Business, School, And Cooking

The Key to Studying History (or His-Story) that your children will remember and be changed by it.

By Sher at 6:23 pm on June 19, 2009 | No comments

First of all I usually write History in one of two ways because it reveals the key to why I teach and learn the subject.  I write it HiStory or His-Story because it is learning the events of God getting Himself a Bride, Israel / the Jews and a Bride for Jesus.  Examples of Scriptures that show this is in:

Israel being God’s Bride Isaiah 62:3-5 and Jeremiah 2:1-2

The Church being Jesus’ Bride John 3:27-30; Ephesians 5:21-33; and Revelation 19:6-9

 

There are many more Scripture that support God and Jesus being husbands.  And Their desiring a bride / wife that loves them.

 

When I was praying over what time period to study for the school year 2009-10 God told me the World Wars.  I also added in a few fun things like Titanic, Wright brothers flying, heroines of the wars, and inventors of that time period (my daughter LOVES Science). 

 

We are finishing up our study on the Titanic, so this morning I was praying over what we were doing next in our His-Story class.  World War I (WWI) was the answer.  Ugh, I hate wars.  I asked God, ‘why do we go from the tragedy of a sinking ship to the whole world at war?’  God asked me, ‘how do you mark your life?  When you are remembering when something happened how do you remember the year?’  My answer was, ‘the GREAT joys or GREAT sorrows of my life.’  God said, ‘so do I.’

 

Moms you can remember events and know when it happened because it was before or after a child being born.  Or one graduating from high school.  Or one getting married.  Or before you were married.  Or after the death of _______ . Or before the divorce.  Or whatever.  Think about things in your life your own history. 

 

You remember dates because of GREAT joyful events or GREAT heartaches.  They so forever change your view of the world that they mark your timeline.  When you teach your children His-Story, teach them the heart sorrow of God or the heart joy of God that took place in that event.  They will learn it clearer if they feel God’s heart.  They will remember it more vividly and it will mean what God intended His-Story to mean.  Dates when come and go be learning to feel God’s heart will live forever in their lives.

American and Marxism ???

This article is for your information. Please read.

Note from Don Wildmon: For years I have refused to use words such as Marxism, socialism or similar words when describing our current situation. However, it is time to call a spade a spade, regardless of how those who oppose us label us. Rome is burning. The article below was written by Stanislav Mishin, a blogger and columnist for the Russian newspaper Pravda.

American capitalism gone with a whimper . . . . .

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us (Russia) about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blinds the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox (Russian Orthodox) churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more than ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of “pure” free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our “wise” Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper…but a “freeman” whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set “fair” maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.
