CHILDREN OF MILITARY MOMS--THE NEW CASUALTIES OF WAR

     As an empowered, successful CEO of a woman-owned business--and a former Military Wife and Great-Grandmother, I feel qualified to speak to a rising evil in the very fabric of our society--the new face of Women in the Military. 
     A product of the Feminist Movement (which I personally observed taking root in the 1960's and which has become the "doctrine of devils"), female soldiering rips at the very heart of our societal foundation.  A woman's Right to Serve is touted as  "duty; patriotism; equality; diversity; opportunity and women's rights," but has produced the highest divorce rates; highest rates of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; highest incidents of sexual assault; and the potential for life-long psychological stress for their children. Consider the mind and heart of little Johnny in this video as his mother abandons him to go to war--the operative word here is "abandons" ...



As Baby Boomer women, we are at fault for not mentoring these younger women in the ways of home and family.  Virtuous Women are commanded to "mentor the younger women to love their husbands and children ... to be guardians of the home." (Titus 2:4-5)  Are we instead producing homeland "casualties of war?"  What will the psychological traumas of abandonment and unloving spirits look like in 10 or 20 years?  Even higher rates of suicide?  Millions more on anti-depressants?  Will they be sexual predators?  Abusers of women?  Prostitutes?  Mark my words, the coming society will be saddled with dysfunctional adults--many of whom were little Johnny's needing a Mom, but getting a soldier instead.

"Children are a gift of the LORD: the fruit of the womb is God's reward." ~ Psalm 127:3

MUCH OIL IN THE HOUSE OF THE WISE WOMAN

The Virtuous Woman watches over the ways of her household and "there is much oil in the house of the wise woman." (Proverbs 21:20)  Sometimes, she's called upon to be "Doctor Mom" when the situation arises. Women are legendary for unceasing devotion to walking the floor with a colicky baby, or wiping the fevered brow of a sick child or ministering love and compassion to the bedridden elderly. A wise woman of ancient times was well aware of the therapeutic power of God's original medicine--essential oils.
Now, through the efforts of medical science,  committed physicians, quantum physics and women of faith, the healing power of essential oils is once again available to every household for every situation as show in the video below:

TEEN MAGAZINE SUCCUMBS TO DEMANDS TO ABOLISH AIR-BRUSHING ITS YOUNG MODELS

A courageous 14-year has won her campaign to force Seventeen Magazine to cease altering its models' pictures with Photoshop and air-brushing. Julia Bluhm, a Virtuous Young Woman, spearheaded a campaign on Facebook protesting the fakery in advertising that has popularized altering womens' (and girls') faces and figures to reflect an abnormal standard. This deception has led to a substantial increase in bullying, depression and eating disorders. Over 80,000 people agreed with Julia online that this practice needs to stop. 

As a result, Seventeen Magazine has agreed  to discontinue its practice of "doctoring" the photos of its young models.  To better understand how Media Advertisers "Photoshop" the models, watch this video produced by Dove Evolution:

BRONYCON--GEN X-Yers SUFFERING THE PETER PAN SYNDROME

Is Generation X-Y becoming the "I'll Never Grow Up" generation of the new millenium?  A cult-following has developed recently surrounding what should be a kid's cartoon show called My Little Pony.  But the concept has gone viral with thousands of 20-40 year olds who recently attended the Brony 2012 Convention.  One 25-yo attendee was heard to say, “I thought about what people would say. 'It’s creepy. It’s weird. It’s a ... show for little girls.'"  So why do grown men and women flock to this fantasy children's world?  Take a peek:


"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things ..."
~ 1st Corinthians 13:11  

With the world on the verge of economic collapse; wildfires, flooding, and extreme heat devasting the country; and a pivotal presidential election on the horizon, it's a little unsettling to think the future rests in the hands of Bronies who shun responsibility, disdain maturity and lack common sense.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY FROM THE CHILDREN WHO NEVER WERE...

A most extraordinary story from a most extraordinary woman.  Imagine, six weeks after your wedding day, you receive word that your husband was airborne over enemy territory and just disappeared.  That was 68 years ago...and still she waits.

Peggy Harris--holding onto a fading dream of a future with children and grandchildren; a vision of celebrating Father's Day for her beloved--waited over six decades for an answer, but the mystery remained.  There was no help from her Congressman; no one cared enough to pick up a phone to inquire.  And then, by what might be called the Hand of God, this lifetime mystery began to unravel for this Virtuous Woman with an ending you won't imagine....

THE BETROTHAL - FEAST OF SHAVUOT

     While the Bride of Messiah keeps her lamp trimmed and fills her jar with oil, TODAY we celebrate the Season of our Betrothal to the Bridegroom.  It is the Festival of the Ingathering--Shavuot, which is Hebrew for "Weeks."  Israel was to count the omer of wheat for 49 days following the Feast of Firstfruits (Resurrection) and on the 50th Day (Pentecost), the celebration would begin.
(Acts 2:1-4)
     This is the day Yashua, the Risen Messiah betrothed Himself to His New Covenant Bride. It is the fulfillment of the betrothal of the Jew (Boaz) and the Gentile (Ruth) as the One New Man.  We celebrate with two leavened Challah Loaves of Bread according to Torah ~ Leviticus 23:17

"You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord."
~ Leviticus 23:17

THE CHURCH IN AMERICA IGNORES THE HARBINGER OF 9-11

I am taking a Sidebar this week from my usual health and wellness focus to address what I perceive is a Harbinger of things to come unless repentance is quickly embraced.  Deceptive spiritual winds are blowing throughout the Church in America.  Today the Church mirrors the Culture, rather than the Culture reflecting the Church.  The lines are no longer blurred--they have merged to become one sound. JCTV is the new MTV; Piped-in Smoke and Rock Music pass for Sanctuary Worship; Fire-Eating rituals performed on the platform.  Many voices are calling for flexibility and compromise in this New Era and to become agents of change for this Laodicean gospel.  Their "Prophets" speak of power, revival, miracles and prosperity while the "Harbingers of God" sound the warning of impending judgment upon America because there is no repentance.

Shofars (Trumpets) are sounding loud and long calling for a turn from the Church's love affair with the world and a return to a holy, righteous God.  This season of "turning" in the Hebrew Scriptures is called  "Teshuvah"  and it immediately precedes the time of judgment throughout Biblical History.

Yashua (Jesus) warned that in the Last Days to "Be Not Deceived; signs and wonders will be so great, even Church members will be deceived."  The Warnings to the Churches in the Book of Revelation carry one message:  REPENT!  The Harbingers have been sounding for the last 27 Years and still there is no repentance:
