So you're going to make someone pay you to (attempt to) corrupt their children.

Not quite ready for the convention center! But just last Saturday we had
our Annual Family Reunion. We started doing this after Mom went to be with
the Lord in 1999. Dad had gone to be with Him in 1989. Each sibling's family
take turns planning and hosting the Reunion year after year. So it only comes
around every ten years as there are ten of us now. We lost our first sibling (a
brother Sept 07).

Having this Reunion each year and then we do the same at Christmas (Annual
Family Christmas Party). The ten siblings and their families all join together for
a day to enjoy a wonderful meal with everyone bringing homecooked, etc. food.
We even have a family cookbook with recipes from favorites of the family for
several generations. These Reunions keep us close and connected. Things
connected keep their energy.(Power). Keep charged! It's when we dis-
connect from the Power source that things can happen.

Pharoah wanted Abraham and the men to go on out and sacrifice to their God,
BUT leave the women, children and cattle there. But old Abraham knew that
isolating/or seperating the families would not work. He told Pharoah that they
didn't have a "hoof" to leave behind. In other words they were not leaving any-
thing behind. Not even a beast. We should be that way about our families!
We must take ALL with us as we will not pass this way again.

Praying people, connected to the main source of Power (GOD) can pull down
strongholds of the enemy.

Gal.3:29,
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the
promise.

What promise? The promise of eternal life, the Holy Ghost. That in thee and
thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

We had the Reunion at the Community Park in our city, reserved in ad-
vance for the occasion.

Blessings,

I'll give the Blakeys a special bulk rate, if they want me to teach the kids at their next reunion!

I love reunions. Always a lot of food, friends and fun.
This was the last reunion we had before grandma went to be with Jesus.

What a great family, Falla! I wouldn't really want to corrupt those kids, or Nahkoe's, or Stephen's. I'll pick on somebody I don't like.

Timmy, I think they will stand up to it... but if you succeed I am coming after you.

To place the responsibility for getting my kids to adulthood on someone else just doesn't make sense to me.

I haven't seen a unified Christian worldview.

I said this: "Why does it surprise anyone when the world teaches worldly ideas? I don't think that's the problem in any way. It's what the world does."

The Unified Christian worldview should not be confused with Christian doctrine -- there is a distinct different. The global worldview is one of Original Sin, of a Savior, of redemption and grace. Through this lens we understand order in our universe, we have a Creator responsible for it, we don't believe men are random samples of chemical combustion but are divinely imprinted and bear the Imago Dei. That's a pretty unified Christian worldview.

I think we are splitting hairs. Of course I think our job is to have an appropriate reaction, but your statements were "the reason why we are failing, is because we are failing." I'm simply pointing out how dangerous a battlefied is. It does not promise immunity from casualties, no matter how much basic training and armor and ammunition. The more sober we can be about the enemy, the better we can be about being prepared. The more dismissive we are about the worldviews taught in our Universities (and chalk it up as, 'it's just the world'), the more unpreprared we will be.

I only wish it were all as simple as you propose.
