Treasure House Kids

Gail Harding sent this to me. She received it Pastor Jerry Young at Trinitity Baptist. Please take a few moments and to pray about this.

Please do what you can to promote "Blood Money", an expose of Planned Parenthood's corruption. This is worth watching and passing on. For those of you with daughters or know any teenage girls, here's another sign of our times. Just wanted you to be aware of how Planned Parenthood 'educates' our youth and pockets the money. It's only 3 minutes so please watch this Trailer.

In order to get the movie into theaters, the producers need to show that millions of interested people have visited the website. You need only visit the site; there is no need to sign-up as a supporter unless you feel compelled to do so. The website contains a trailer for the movie.

Please visit the website, and forward this information to others:

www.bloodmoneyfilm.com

We need the site to get as many hits as possible for a chance for the movie to show up in theatres.

In looking through the Children's Ministry Magazine I found some interesting games and books that I thought you might want to check out.  Keep in  mind that I have not reviewed them personally--so check them out before sharing with your kids.

Game:  "NO SWEAT"  avaialbe at playnosweat.net.  This games gets your family moving as you exercise indoors to win awards in teh fame's track & field events.

Game:  "WHOONU"  available at Toy stores.  Score points by guessing your family members' favorite things--you will be surprised what you discover about your family.  Could possibly be used with a group of close friends. 

Book:  ages 3 to 5  "God Made your Body"  by Jim Burns  Introduces children to the basic idea that God created our bodies.  (Bethany House)

I also read some interesting articles in the Homelife Magazine, March 2010 issue, available at the Church.  "Good parenting has gone to the dogs {literally}" page 46 and "teach Your Kids to Cook"  page 48.  Check them out.

A Child's View of Thunderstorms

A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school. She also feared the electrical storm might harm her child. Full of concern, the mother got into her car and quickly drove along the route to her child's school. As she did, she saw her little girl walking along.

At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile. More lighting followed quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.

When the mother drew up beside the child, she lowered the window and called, "What are you doing?"

The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty because God keeps taking my picture."

May God bless you today and every day as you face the storms that come your way!

Sexting..that's right I did not misspell it.  Sexting is a growing problem among our kids.  A problem that most of us are not even aware of.  What is sexting?  It is the sending of sexual messages and/or pictures via as text messages.  Now I know a lot of you breathed a sigh of relief saying my kid would never do that--but I implore you to rethink.  If your child has a cell phone I am willing to bet that they have received and in some cases sent sexts. 

Most parents take great efforts to monitor what their children watch on TV, we place parental controls on the internet and keep the computer in family room in full view, but when it comes to phones...well we seldom actually talk on them-- we text.  Unfortunately there are no parental controls on a cell phone.  Most all cell phones take pictures and believe me kids know how to hide history.  It is scary because sexting is considered pornography and against the law.  The sending and receiving a sexting can land you prison time and a life time charge as a sexual offender.  Just Google 'sexting', but beware of explicits photos!!!!  CNN and CBS has some good aritcles. 

So what are we to do?  Well for starters--does you child really need a cell phone?  In some cases such as blended families or if your child is traveling with someone else--a cell phone would be appropriate but not without strict guidelines. 

If you have decided to give your child a cell phone: 

                Set times when the phone can be used. 

                Make sure it is on the charger each night in plain view such as the kitchen

                or family room. 

               Check your child's contacts--if you don't recognize someone, call them, find

               out who they are. 

              Check your child's pictures often at least three times a week at random

               times. 

If you find something inappropriate, act immediately.  Confront the child and contact the other participants.  Be prepared, legal ramifications may occur to your child and others involved.  Then I would take the child's cell phone and internet privileges for at least 6 months.  Then when the phone is returned it would be a phone without camera capabilities, all texting would be blocked from sending and receiveing and it would have a number that the child is not allowed to give out for atleast another three months.

Sounds severe I know--but this is a major issue that we as parents can not afford to count as just a normal kid curiousity--sexting is a major SIN problem.  It is robbing our children of their purity and Satan is using it as a stepping stone to more explicit acts of sin sick lifestyles.  PARENTS WAKE UP AND BEWARE!!!!!!! 

Email me and I will send you a survery concerning Sex and Tech.  kim@polecreek.org
