There are a lot of "Christian" con artists out there, like a ton, so beware of them. They try asking you for money and say they will give it to the poor or to do God's work somehow, but how can you know they will?
It's easy to just throw money at an organization, or some random person, and let them take care of feeding the poor for you, or you could do it yourself. But why don't we? Because we don't want to get our hands dirty. Because we are so overly concerned for our personal safety. Because we are....scared. But "God did not give a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind." Amen? Amen. Or we like to use the excuse that we don't have enough time. But how many hours each day do you spend watching TV shows or movies? Why not use that time to help the poor?
Don't just throw your money at someone else, who will hopefully spend it on feeding the poor, but you never can know for sure. DO something yourself to feed the poor. Go buy food yourself and give it to the poor directly. Everyone knows where poor people can be found in their city. They are usually standing on corners or by stop lights. And yet most people just ignore them. What did God say? "13Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered." Proverbs 21:13. So beware of ignoring the poor.
It's easy to judge them and think "they did something to deserve that" or "they do drugs or dink so they deserve to be homeless." But do you take prescription drugs? Then how are your drugs any better then the drugs they might take? Do you drink on occasion? Then how could you judge them for wanting to drink to forget the sorrows of being homeless? "Take the speck out of your own eye" before you judge others.
Go buy them a burger rather then judge them. Love don't judge. :)
God bless!

Every Church Should Have a Free Food Room
There is a verse in the Old Testament about tithing so there may be food in God's house, but that verse is only relevant today if churches have a free food room where poor people, who have no food, can come and get food for free. That is essentially what the Old and New Testament temples and churches in the Bible did, but almost NONE of the churches these days do that, sadly, at least not in America. But EVERY church should have a free food room, for the homeless or single moms or those who just lost a job etc. Then maybe more people would go to church, if they saw that the church ACTUALLY gave to the poor on a daily or weekly basis like God said we should. And maybe those who go church would actually be EXCITED about church, because they wouldn't just be going to hear a college lecture essentially, they would be part of an exciting selfless giving TEAM! Who actually puts action behind their words. How cool would that be?!
And maybe more people in the world would then really believe that God loves them and cares for them if the church really gave to the poor, as God wants us to.
Maybe we should stop judging the world and start caring for it. It is not our judgement that will get people saved, it is our love. Amen? "This is how people will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." And if you love the world and care for it.
Why was Mother Theresa essentially the ONLY person who devoted her life to caring for the poor? Why haven't other believers devoted all their time to helping the poor? Isn't it strange that no one else, or very few others, have? Especially since that is what Jesus told us to do?
But think of how revolutionary that would be!? If Christians actually did care for and provide for the poor, as much as they could. How revolutionary would that be is churches all over America and the world started to have a free food room! It would be amazing!
Not to sound cynical, but what else are churches doing with all the money they get? They should be feeding the poor, first and foremost. The money shouldn't go to just help pastors have an excessively huge house or an overly expensive car, which often happens. What kind of house would Jesus have? What kind of car would Jesus drive? Something to think about. :)
People in churches should be more encouraged to bring in food for the poor every Sunday, rather then give money to the building. The building isn't important, feeding the poor is. Otherwise the people are essentially just giving to themselves, which isn't really giving, if you really think about it. ;)
Go buy some food for some homeless people! And then this verse will apply to you and your life. :) "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." -Malachi 3:10
Notice biblically what God directly says our tithes are supposed to be doing? Providing food in God's house. For who? The poor. And a tithe in the Old Testament was not money, it was food. ;) I guess I fulfill that in my baking muffins for my neighborhood and the homeless. What can you do to help feed others? Think about it. God bless. :)

Tithing and The Church
I am Christian but I am actually against tithing to a church. The Bible says to give to the poor, so those who want to give should start buying groceries for the homeless. Rather then giving a whole 10 percent of their income to a rich church just so they can buy bigger speakers etc. give to those who are actually poor. There is not one verse in the New Testament about giving 10 percent to a building. The early church met in houses, not buildings. Really churches are just rich country clubs that we fund with our "tithes." We think we are giving to God and they tell us we are, but really we are just giving to a rich country club owner to build a nice place for us to hang out and escape our homes to. But why do people want to escape their own homes to go to this "church" club? Because they are running away from their responsibilities and their children. Parents should save for their kid's college or help buy their kid's first car rather then give any extra money away for some building. The Bible does say "if anyone does not provide for his own household he is worse than an unbeliever." I know there are cases where people can't afford to buy food for their family because they tithed too much. That is insane. Care for your family first and foremost. Give to your kids before you give to some country club church building. Spend time with your kids rather then spend all your time at some church with people you may only know a few years. Make sure your family always always comes first. That is what pleases God most. Amen. God bless :)

Phil Collins
I have always been a huge fan of Phil Collins' songs. Especially his "Another Day in Paradise" song. Check out the music video for that one. It's very very good. And then go buy a homeless person a burger! Woot! :)
I was looking over the lyrics to his song "In the Air Tonight." It's funny even Phil collins who wrote it says he doesn't know what it's about. I'm thinking it's sub consciously about either a child abuse event maybe he went through or maybe his ex wife cheated on him and he is singing this to the guy. But the phrase "I've been waiting for this moment all my life" sounds like he wants to get revenge on something that happened when he was a kid. Read the lyrics for yourself and see what you think. ;)

Don't Have Sex Carelessly
I have always been amazed at how casually some people have sex and then carelessly enter into parenting. I'm amazed how reckless so many young people are today regarding sex and not realizing that they need to VERY seriously count the cost first, the cost and sacrifice of parenting. There are phrases now like "friends with benefits" and "no strings attached." Well if the girl gets pregnant there very much will be strings attached, child support strings being the most important, which can put you in prison if you don't pay it.
And for the ladies, not only is child labor extremely hard, as all know, parenting small children is very, very hard. Maybe if young ladies, and guys, realized how hard it is, they wouldn't be so easily promiscuous.
The hardest thing is that every day of having young children you will get woken up before You want to wake up. Sleeping in is never an option. And it is very hard, but thank God for coffee, that's all I can say.
You will change at least 10 diapers per day per kid, which is way more if they have diareah, and have to give each child about 15 bottles per day. So you have to always make sure you are stocked up on milk, diapers and baby wipes. You will feel like you are constantly washing out bottles.
I have cleaned out 10 to 20 bottles 3 times a day every day for 3.5 years.
Every single day I do laundry, because milk from bottles gets everywhere, and vacuum, because crumbs from food gets everywhere.
When you're a parent, you can't go anywhere you want to whenever you want to.
I try to work but babysitters are unpredictable and not all that excited about babysitting. Putting a child in official daycare these days can cost up to 1k per month PER child, so unless you're a doctor or a lawyer, you won't profit much from working after paying daycare expenses.
I have almost no social life except work. I can't go on a bike ride carefree anymore because I have to haul a heavy kid trailer behind me. :) I have to constantly correct my three year old's behavior. I have to always worry about my 1 year old's safety. Both of them could get seriously hurt at any minute.
I don't get to watch what I want to watch most of the day. I have to watch or listen to annoying kid shows so the girls stay happy.
Then there is the dealing with crying or screaming for 5 minutes or more if your child doesn't want to take a nap or go to bed. That is one of the hardest things about parenting. But you know they are really tired and need to sleep so you have to be strong and ignore the crying, unless they need more milk or pooped in their diaper, which is always tricky to know if that's why they are crying.
And there are the disgusting adventures of smelling and cleaning up throw up and dealing with diarrhea which can be highly stressful. When a kid is sick they can explode anywhere at anytime and you never know when or where it will happen. Which is probably why others don't seem to want to babysit lol. 😉 And also why I have mostly given up going to church since my first kid was born, because the less they get sick from other kids, the less I have to deal with the insanity of all that. But I do miss church and wish church kid rooms were more clean so kids don't always get sick when they go.
And lastly, your kids never say good job and almost never say thank you for all you do or sacrifice for them. Nor do you ever get a raise or promotion for working hard.
Anyways that's enough of that. All that to say, realize what you might be getting into when you have sex. It's not all just fun and games. Sex causes kids and kids cause A LOT of sacrifice and responsibility. So be careful when dating. And know what sex fully entails before you make careless choices.
And tell your mom a huge THANK YOU for being a complete angel 😇 for taking care of you your first 18 years. And thank your dad a ton for providing for you, if he did. 😉 But some moms care for AND provide for their kids, because the dads don't provide much at all, which puts them on the level of mother Theresa really. Like my mom! Good job Mom! And to all you moms that do everything, you are extremely amazing!
I knew what I was getting into as far as kids thanks to 14 years of working with kids before having kids, but most have no idea. So now you, dear single reader, might have some idea. If you're a parent feel free to comment anything I left out. ;)
And I'll add in the benefits of parenting. The good things are tickling your kids and hearing them laugh, seeing them play with each other, getting to take a nap almost every day, and the times when you do enjoy the kids shows or movies and holding your cute, chubby, teddy bear kids while you watch. :) And knowing that someday your kids will take good care of you the way you took good care of them. Or at least they better, lol.
God bless 🙂

Horror Movies
I wish I could file a complaint to YouTube. We watch cat videos a lot on our Roku with our little girls, but there are so many horror movie previews that come on now as adds it's just insane. 3 times a day now I'm rushing for the remote to skip the horror movie add before they see anything scary. Really YouTube? Horror movie adds for cute kitten videos?
I HATE horror movies, and I hate their previews. I hate horror movies with a passion. Horror movies might as well be made by Satan himself. All they do is put excessive amount of fear in people. They are the most terrible things on the face of the earth. 😒 The absolute most terrible thing for sure.
For any who like them consider this, Jeffery Dahmer would watch a horror movie right before he did what he did to people. They are movies inspired by demons and they can put demons on you. DON'T watch them, and don't let your kids watch them, ever. Horror movies are the most abominable thing invented by mankind.
