Some of it will seep in, but you can control it better from a distance. I just could never have competed with neighbors, schools, entertainment and the general commotion, so I retreated to the country.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-76997636431834090552011-05-09T10:11:54.725-07:002011-05-09T10:11:54.725-07:00Anon @ 7:31:

That was very well put. I am especial...Hi Patrice,<br /><br />That was very well put. I am especially appreciative of your statement that you don't have TV.<br /><br />If I had to come up with the one worst influence on American families, the one thing that brings together all the worst things in our society into one evil package, I'd have to say that thing is the television set that sits like a shrine in most Americans' homes.<br /><br />When people comment about how smart and accomplished our children are and ask how we did it we deflect the praise from ourselves (because we are flawed, believe me) and explain that our children are the way they are because of three things:<br /><br />1) Our children have never set foot in a public (or even private school).<br /><br />2) We are Christians, and raise our children to love the Lord and His Word.<br /><br />3) We got rid of television when my 19-year-old son was 3 years old. My 14-year-old daughter has never known television.<br /><br />There are other factors, too, like that we live in the mountains far from cities, my wife has been a stay-at-home, nurturing, homeschooling mother for most of our kids' lives, and that we have been very careful of the influences on our children from peers, from movies, from music, from youth groups, etc.<br /><br />If I had to put myself in the mind of some evil person bent on the destruction of the independence, the moral fiber, and the freedom-thinking people of this once great land, and try to figure out how that could be accomplished, I couldn't come up with a better plan than to place an object in every single Americans' homes that would mesmerize them and persuade them to give up intellectual thought for entertainment, freedom for "security," and "hope for change."<br /><br />I could go on, but I sense an irrational rant building, so I better stop.<br /><br />DaveDavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-59039890848808252592011-05-09T07:11:09.177-07:002011-05-09T07:11:09.177-07:00Anon at 7:31pm: Huh?!?!?Anon at 7:31pm: Huh?!?!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-90652322173746955722011-05-08T22:55:00.496-07:002011-05-08T22:55:00.496-07:00To Anonymous at 7:31pm, May 8: I get your point.

Their Christian upbringing made them stand out in public high school. Our kids were countercultural but they made friends and were considered "model" students and trustworthy. They both attended Notre Dame University and the youngest graduated last May. Both now live in inner city large metropolitan areas far from home. As much as they enjoyed the country life, their professions brought them to large cities. I pray daily that they remain faith filled and so far so good. The Bible verse about training them in their youth and that they will not depart from God is what I have pray is the case for my two daughters. These are scary times - I've told both to make a beeline home if anything goes bad. I wish they could be closer to home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-64517975550916146462011-05-08T19:31:18.333-07:002011-05-08T19:31:18.333-07:00I like God.
