From FOCUS ON THE FAMILY, Today, 15-Feb-2008 Edition by Dr Bill Maier "KEEPING KIDS INNOCENT" Here's one of my biggest worries -- how am I going to keep my kids from some of the corrupting influences in our sex-saturated culture? If you're a parent of young kids, I'm sure you worry about the same thing. It seems you can't turn on the TV without being assaulted by profanity, violence and sexual images. Even many so-called "family shows" aren't safe to watch with your kids. And a lot of secular music these days has reached an all-time low on the morality scale. So, what is a parent to do? First of all, we need to pay attention. It's naive to think that our kids aren't affected by what they see and hear. Our first job as parents is to monitor what they're watching and listening to. Young kids should never be allowed to flip through TV channels or surf the Internet without supervision. And finally, we need to talk to our kids about making...

From FOCUS ON THE FAMILY , Today , 14-Feb-2008 By Dr Bill Maier     "Connecting Points" with Teens   Teens today are being bombarded with mixed messages. Often , culture is telling them one thing while their parents are telling them another. As parents , we want to help them through these trying , confusing times. But what is the best way to do it? Author Josh McDowell encourages parents to focus on what he calls three key “connecting points” in our relationship with teenagers.   Point number one is affirmation . Let your children know that you understand their struggles. Ask them: “How are you doing today? What’s going on in your world?” and then listen.   Point two is acceptance . Make sure your children know that you love them unconditionally , no matter what. Accept them for who they are , not how they perform.   Point three is appreciation . Look for ways ...

Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa .   Amazingly , 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft Iowa , yes , farm equipment!   It took the team a combined 13 , 029 hours of set-up , alignment , calibration , and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort.   It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Geography lessons to take note of.     GEOGRAPHY OF WOMEN   Between 18 and 22 , a woman is like Africa -- half discovered , half wild , naturally beautiful with fertile soil.   Between 23 and 30 , a woman is like Europe – well-developed and open to trade , especially for someone with cash.   Between 31 and 35 , a woman is like India --  very hot , relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.   Between 36 and 40 , a woman is like France -- gently aging but still warm and a desirable place to visit.   Between 41 and 50 , a woman is like Great Britain -- with a glorious and an all-conquering past.   Between 51 and 60 , a woman is like Yugoslavia -- lost the war and haunted by past mistakes.   Between 61 and 70 , a woman is like Russia -- very wide with borders now unpatrolled.   After 70 , she becomes Tibet -- wildly beautiful , with a myster...

While visiting India , George Bush is invited to tea with Abdul Kalam. He asks Kalam what his leadership philosophy is. He says that , it is to surround himself with intelligent people.   Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions , " says the Kalam.   "Allow me to demonstrate."   Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says , "Mr. Prime Minister , please answer this question: your mother has a child , and your father has a child , and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"   Manmohan immediately responds , "It's me , Sir!"   "Correct! Thank you and good-bye , sir , " says Kalam.   He hangs up and says , "Did you get that , Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes , Mr.President. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"   Bush , upon returning to Washin...

From FOCUS ON THE FAMILY, Today, 14-Feb-2008 Edition by Dr Bill Maier Why Bother With Marriage? Why bother getting married when living together is so much easier? That's what a lot of couples are asking today. It may seem like a good alternative, but the reality is that most couples who cohabit don't stay together for long. In fact, research shows that they have a 46-per-cent greater chance of breaking up. We could debate the wisdom of living together before marriage. The truth is that marriage holds people together during tough times. People who have made the commitment are much less likely to dump their partner. Marriage also provides stability for children. When kids know that their parents are married they grow up with a greater sense of security. Marriage not only makes for a healthier couple but also happier children. The bottom line is: It just makes sense.

(See if you get the same answers... unless your imagination runs wild…) A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. Teacher: “What is your problem?” Boy: “I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is. I think I should be in the third-grade , too.” The teacher took the boy to the principal's office. While the boy waited in the outer office , the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told her that he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave. She agreed. The boy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test. Principal: “What is 3 x 3?” Boy: “9.” Principal: “What is 6 x 6?” Boy: “36” And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know. "I thi...
