Dear Ashley,                        15 December 2025      When you moved to New York, your mother said, "Ashley cannot live in New York. It is too expensive. If she wants to live there, she should come back here and get a college degree. Then, she can get a job that pays enough that she can live there."       There are things you could do there.  Importing and exporting is a fine service, wherein you work hard and you help a lot of people.  I would like to import art and vintage stuff from Japan, which would keep me busy.        I believe importing and exporting would be not just a good use of your abilities, but that it would bring you a significantly higher income than anything you have heretofore done, which reflects the value you would be adding to society.        Kookshin wan...

Hebron Colony has been in operation since 1947.  They excel in alcohol and addictive drug rehabilitation. It looks like they run a tight ship and deliver a good service in solid love.  From their website, they allude to a spartan lifestyle focused on building a relationship with Jesus the Christ (a.k.a. "the Messiah")  Quote: "Hebron is not interested in giving people more religion; instead, we teach people how to walk in a personal relationship with Christ and begin to learn how to apply God's principles in their everyday lives."    The word "Religion" means a lot of things to different people. However for our purposes, we can feel justified in focusing not on any particular cultural sense of the "proper gloss" for this word, but rather just go with the biblical usage of "religion."  Surprisingly, the Bible takes a rather dim view of "religion," with Jesus using it in several places as a negative social force, operatin...

 What does it mean to be a good substitute teacher?  That depends on where you are.  Are you working in a public school system?  Does that system have deep pockets, vulnerable to being sued at the drop of a hat?  Is the culture in a volatile state of existence? Does the surrounding culture sustain a poignant sense of racism?       Your options in exploring creative educational behavior, patterns and curricula are limited by the society in which your school is situated.  You can't do just whatever you want.  The society sets the broader picture, regardless of what others may say. You push the limits and you will find out truly who your overlord is.  That is the culture at large in a vibrant democracy just such as the United States has become.  Rome was said to be on the verge of collapse for several hundred years before it finally collapsed.  Doomsayers were publishing draconian pronouncements about the impending ...

Psalm 127:1 . The full verse states: "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain"  What is a good father? What should a father do? How do you be a good father? * The father is a watchman. He serves under Christ, he keeps the family in The Word of God. He works for God to keep Satan at bay.    "But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God."  (1 Cor. 11:13, ESV)      The Father is head of the family. Without a head, there can be no unity in the family, and lacking unity, the family has no visible structure. It is like trying to schlepp water for a purpose, but lacking a container. It goes nowhere, but spills out all over the ground. The water does not reach its destination, cannot sustain the life of any crops.               ...
