I remember when growing up that I was in trouble a lot. I mean a lot. It seemed I was forever getting my ass spanked for something. My parents were true believers in "Spare the rod, spoil the child". Even though I had a childhood full of mischief and getting in trouble, I would never think to change my upbringing because I feel that I have grown to be a responsible and well adjusted adult and for that I thank my parents. I would never trade my spankings and corporal punishment for time outs and mental games. Today's children have zero respect for authority nor do they care who they hurt or when they do it. I am sure some of that can be contributed to more divorce and single parent homes but something has to be said for whipping your kids. Parents aren't allowed to do it anymore, schools quit paddling children for fear of the parents, etc. In my day, it didn't matter if we were out in public or in private, if I needed a smack, my mother obliged and didn't care who witnessed it. Today if you do that, you can expect the police to be called by some whiney ass liberals who happen to see you do it. Next thing you know you will have CPS at your door trying to determine if you beat your kids. I dare someone to tell me how to raise my kids....civilian, law enforcement or government agency....they would be met with their own smack and it would escalate from there. No one should be afraid of raising their children how they see fit as long as there is no neglect, mental or physical abuse. I wish more people would smack the shit out of their kids in public because quite honestly I am sick of hearing the screaming or seeing the misbehaved kids because their parents don't have a grip how to handle them. There have actually been times that I have thought about smacking the parent because it is ultimately their fault anyway. Their liberal failure to spank their kids when they need it only serves to ruin my meal or family outing when they are around....thanks, I will pass on that. Consider yourself lucky I don't spank your kid myself numb nuts.
If you ask any of my 6 kids what would happen if they make a scene in public and the answer would be unanimous. There would be a visit to the bathroom of whatever establishment we happen to be visiting. Once there, the discipline would commence however I see fit. Now don't get me wrong, I in no way beat my children but I do let them know that there are consequences to their actions.....and no it isn't time out. I love all my kids who range from as young as 2 to as old as 17 and that is the reason I light them up when needed. All of my children are well adjusted, respectful, get decent to great grades, do not get in trouble in school, do not do drugs, do not smoke, have not been sexually active and are overall very good kids. I would wonder how many of those parent who use timeout could say the same. None of them are overly aggressive towards anyone.....why....because they got whipped and they feared that and continued to do so as they got older. Don't get me wrong, whipping your children with out the proper love and compassion shown directly afterwords is not what is effective but if you whip your child and follow that with the positive attention and explanation of why, they will learn to understand and will respect you more in the future as they grow up.
How about these scientists and all the study's that say whipping your kids makes them more aggressive? Are you serious? They say you should put your child in time out and let them reflect on what they have done so that they can understand that it was wrong. Supposedly you can do this as young as 1 to 2 years old. I also wonder how many of these geniuses have a 1 or 2 year old running around and understand the attention span they possess or that any 1 or 2 year old does not completely understand right from wrong yet. How can you have them sit and reflect on what they have done....the sitting will last 30 seconds tops and the reflecting will be on when they will get their next cookie or what toy they can grab. What a bunch of morons these people are!! If they took the time to actually study what society has now become because people fail to discipline (spank) their children without positive reinforcement and love or they use timeout techniques, they would clearly see the error of their ways and that all their liberal BS they preach is rediculously flawed and outright wrong. Don't we have enough screwed up kids.....my advice, and I DO speak from experience, whip your kids when they need it but also back it up with positive and loving reinforcement. Don't buy into this BS timeout crap or ANY new age child rearing technique....it is flaky, doesn't work and is full of politics and errors. Bobby and Cindy will respect you more in the future because you were firm and loving at the same time.

The World Today and Bible Prophecy - Episode 2 - What Does Our Earth and Beyond Have in Store?
Today with so much talk and focus on the ongoing wars or possible wars around the world and what scripture might say about them, it seems that there isn't much focus on what the Bible has to say with regard to our planet and changes it seems to be experiencing. In this episode I will try to point out the similarities of what scripture says about these changes. Some people may say that what we see today are nothing more than the natural cycles that the Earth may be going through and it may in fact be just that, but attention must be drawn to the matter none the less. Again I stress that this is only my interpretation of what I read/see and how I feel things may be falling into place. Let's begin:
Climate Change
Revelation 16: 8-9: And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
I can not say that I am sold on the fact that Global Warming is man made. The jury is still out for me considering Climategate and the so many differing opinions out there. Scientific data can be manipulated in either direction and truth is really difficult to find. Not to mention all the control the government is trying to enforce through regulation to make us more "green". When you introduce money and profit into any equation for people like Al Gore, it only increases the risk of dishonesty by the power hungry. With all the ice in Antartica and the ice shelves shrinking and disappearing as has been proven, it may be worth another look. I ask this, wouldn't this make sense? Is Global Warming what the verse above is referring too? I understand that Global Warming itself is not what is being described but is it more of a precursor? Nothing is currently being scorched but if things continue to heat up as is being reported, doesn't it make sense that scorching is a possibility? God's time line for events is not comparable to ours. The term Global Warming could be the build up to what is described in the verse above. Some say things have to take place before we reach that point and I don't necessarily disagree, but I do believe that we are starting to see the beginning of what is described in Revelation 16: 8-9. If this is a natural cycle and not man made, that is even more alarming because then it is out of our control....but is anything really in the control of the human race?
Famines, Pestilence and Earthquakes
Matthew 24:7: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mark 13:8: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Luke 21:11: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Let's first look at earthquakes. I have done a bit of research on the question "Is earthquake frequency on the rise?" and have determined it is a lot like the Global Warming debate. You can find scientific information to support both yes and no. Some of the difference can be contributed to the fact that technology has increased allowing us to better understand and monitor movement in the Earths crust in addition to our ability to monitor more locations at once. There are several hundred thousand earthquakes each year but most go unnoticed because they are either too small or in areas that are not monitored seismically. Six of the largest earthquakes ever recorded have happened in the last 50 years with 4 of those happening since the year 2000. That does not include the 2010 quake in Haiti which measured a 7.0. To summarize, 60% of the worlds largest earthquakes have happened in the last 50 years and 40% of those have happened in the last 10. That just may be a cause for alarm. As the Bible states, we will see earthquakes in divers places. The definition of "divers" is "many and different". Chile, Alaska, Sumatra, Haiti, Kamchatka, Ecuador and Tibet. Those are some of the places that have seen the largest earthquakes ever. Earthquakes that are 8.5 or higher. Though actual earthquakes may not be increasing in frequency (how can we really know unless we have every square inch of the planet wired), I believe they are in fact increasing in intensity. I believe by far that the worst is yet to come and it will take several more temblors of high intensity and many deaths to begin to reshape the minds of those who don't necessarily believe or refuse to.
Those people out there who refuse to believe need only pay attention to what goes on around them and do their own research to determine that things are different and seem to be getting worse. In my next installment I will address pestilence and the growing concern for pandemic and bio warfare and how it may tie in to Revelation.
