I first heard about the netiquette years ago (about the year 2000) when i started having a more intense activity on the Internet. They refer to a general conduct while posting/chatting/commenting/any other form of expressing one's opinion and beliefs online.

We're all still people, even on the Web and what disturbs people offline will bother them on-line as well.

This article is peice 1.5 because piece 1 was the article on Messenger Stupid Mass Messages (written in Romanian) and piece 2 or 2.5 is also an article in Romanian, "Yahoo Messenger, hi5 and the path of stupidity" (upcomming)

I'll start off with some basic things on commenting on blogs, posting on groups/bulletin boards/forums/even on a YouTube video since you're reading this on a weblog:

• Always post on topic (and if you post off-topic, don't flood with lots of comments and mention before that it's off-topic)
• Don't double post (even if you made a mistake, like a typo, try editing your post and add another post only if your post could be misunderstood or that correction might make a big difference
• And be polite, even if you dislike the others opinion/video posted/any other reason keep in mind that everybody has a right to their opinion, in some situations the author might have put work into posting that blog article/video/anything and you needn't swear for in 7 different forms on 10 lines.
• Don't engage in a flame of war of other people, you'll only make it worse.
• If you hate the one who posted the topic, that doesn't mean you have to show it off and make stupid, mean comments. Try to respect the other and if you've got something against WHAT HE WROTE, also explain your opinions.

Now, I'll head on to some more painful areas where people have totally forgotten like chats, especially on messenger.

• Masses: don't give them away to everybody only if it is of interest to at least 90% of the people in your list and don't send out overly general stuff / things which might annoy others.
• If you happen to add a new and unknown person to your list be polite to them, don't be rude because they're not who you expected them to be, you make mistakes too!
• Don't use overly short acronyms / short-hand writing / expressions which he/she might not understand. You're just waisting time but making it hard for the other person to read / undestand what you are saying and you are just waisting more of your own time by explaining afterwards. And think that maybe the other person doesn't want to learn your nonsense, wanna-be-cool, shortcut writing!
• Respect the other person's status. If their on Busy / Do Not Disturb then really, don't disturb them or at least ask if you can interrupt them. Oh and the mass messages with content like "for those with DND excuse me", well most won't excuse you especially if he doesn't give a shit at that moment/any moment about your wise-ass mass message.
• Don't ALWAYS stay on invisible, let others know when you can be contacted. If you have annoying people in your list, stay invisible just for them, why do all have to suffer?
• Respond to messages. An by that i mean including off-lines (even if the other person is offline) and even if you're busy, you can just say "Not now, layer please" .
• Ignore/ban people only unless it's necessary and try to ask them nicely before to stop the behavior which brought you to this.
• Behave as you would in real life, don't try to be cooler just because you're online. Be yourself and respect the other person.

There are many more, these are just some i remembered now and have found recently to be most annoying. Maybe I'll update with more as i run into them, in the mean time you can google it for more info.

For more details on how you shouldn't behave on the messenger especially with mass-messages read my other article HERE (written in Romanian)

And before i end i'll give you a link to see if someone is really off-line or just faking it (special thanks to Mihai). Click here for more details - all this can be done with no extra software, just your browser and for you programmers i'm sure this will really help if you want to embed such a feature in any scripts/software you design. Or, the easiyer way is on this site (sometimes it doesn't work).

Enjoy and behave :D

Even though your employees know absolutely nothing helpful about troubleshooting your free Internet, and even though "free" means "buy a $5 gift card and register it online to obtain Internet access," it's the thought that counts.

I don't mind the gift card requirement --- I knew you had the best intentions. As such, I went out of the way to make sure you didn't end up a liar. I had my roommate buy a $5 gift card, using only negligible coercion of my own. As it turned out, she immediately used the card to purchase herself one of your many fatty, sugary, overcaffinated drinks, and she gave me the rest of the gift card.

Sure, there's only 70 cents left. That's still enough to register the card online to get my despite-your-best-efforts-still-free Internet.

I don't even mind the two-hour limit on Internet use. I figure that this is for my own good. Without an artificial, largely arbitrary restriction, I'd stay on all day, and that would sorely diminish the chances I'd ever finish The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Thank you, soulless, corporation of gargantuan proportions in every concievable sense. I will be a happy patron of your comfortable chairs and free Internet, and I'll show it. Until your Internet policies inevitably change, Starbucks will be my exclusive source of iceless water in a pretentiously named large cup.

Please don't take any of this personally. It's just that if I at all behaved differently, my Internet wouldn't be free.

Now Missy is whining, I guess it is time to get out there and walk them.

In Bangladesh, our living standard is below and it's not possible to compare with any Europeans country. We are lazy and we love to live lazy, sleepy and work free and that why we couldn't able to open a new works for us and for to others. Overall, every person creating effects in economically and everybody and our next generation will suffer for it and don't get any way but we should care of our works. What we do? We don't feel shame of it and we should proud of it.

Expanded: This concept came to me after seeing a comedian describe the difference between cats and dogs.  Oh how we wish at times that our clients had the memory of a dog.  We leave the room and they become confused because something has changed.  We enter the room and it's like they are seeing us for the first time again.

Unfortunately, clients often behave more like cats!

Move on this to come .....

Ici on ne fait pas la bise aux filles et il arrive aussi que l'on ne serre pas la main aux garcons! C'est comme ca que ca se passe a Séoul entre autre. Meme les étudiants internationaux se sont mis a pratiquer cette regle entre eux...

I saw this story...

Shock at polar bear's carp kill

Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.

Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut's enclosure. But German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae.

There is speculation that hand-reared Knut killed the carp just for fun.

First of all, I don't find it particularly shocking that a polar bear killed something, do you?

Second, you shouldn't be having the bears there in the first place. I understand that it was rejected by its mother (the sort of thing that the supposedly civilised romans used to do a lot of - they dumped their unwanted babies onto a big pile in the city and left them to die) but its mother shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Third, making the thing a celebrity means that once the public falls out of love with it it has alcohol addiction, the Betty Ford clinic and the inevitable comeback tour to come.

But the story goes on...

The Frankfurter Allgemeine news website reports that Knut "senselessly murdered the carp", fishing them out, playing with them and then leaving the remains.

IT IS A F*CKING POLAR BEAR! What -- do -- you -- expect -- it -- to -- do? Keep them in a glass bowl and feed them little bits of that smelly stuff every day? Give them names? Take them for a swim around their mutual little prison?

If it wasn't dead because its mother had left it or if its mother hadn't been stuck on some f*cking rock next to a swimming pool in Germany somewhere it would/should be jumping about in the arctic giving seals something to worry about or indeed, fish. Just because the humans feed it it is unlikely to make its natural instincts disappear.

It's all similar to something I watched in a David Attenborough program about how killer whales appear to play with their prey before finishing them off. I emphasise 'appear' because I would not be so presumptuous to assume I know what a killer whale is thinking. However, one of the commenters saw fit to leave a comment (I don't know if that is exactly the right link to get the comment) that they had 'lost all respect for killer whales'.

Behave.

I hate this kind of story because these things are not evil, that is giving human 'qualities' to something that is not human. It is not like other humans where you at least have a reference point. Even the sensory data it receives will be so different from ours that we can't tell how it physically interprets the world around it, or at we least we can't really feel and know what it is like.

You don't know what it is thinking so you can't tell if it is being an arsehole or not.

Hours later, we were health-checking Lotus, whom we’d also called “Chengdu
Truth” in Chinese. There are no words to describe our boiling rage at
witnessing this skeleton sitting in a cage with a body so wasted that
he couldn’t even lift his head.

Many of you reading this will remember another bear I named “Truth” on a
farm years ago in Yunnan. We didn’t manage to save her, but I swore her
death would not be in vain. Now here in Chengdu, we now had our own
Truth, even more wasted than his namesake.

His badly abscessed shoulders exposed the brutality of callous injection
attempts by the butchers on the farms. This poor bear had obviously
been so sick that the so-called doctors had decided to punch
inappropriate antibiotics into his muscle, delivering it by unsterile
needles, which had ultimately caused painful open wounds now pouring
with pus.

Under anaesthetic, the ultrasound images once again
caused our hearts to sink...and, on the surgery table minutes later we
saw a liver that had begun a cycle of cancer which had then “seeded”
through his poor depleted body.

Truth lay there after death; tiny and vulnerable, with naked front limbs,
paws that looked strangely human, and sunken hopeless eyes.

Hours earlier, these were the same eyes that had suspiciously followed our
every move as we offered water he occasionally sipped, fruit he ignored
and words of comfort that fell on deaf ears.

Here was an animal that made us turn away in shame knowing that our words of apology and
sorrow were meaningless to a bear born of hope, but so utterly let down
by a species that has shown it simply doesn’t care. That he died with
this in his heart is almost too much to bear.

Second, we are who we associate with. So, dressing like our peers catalogues us. It breeds stereotypes. As mother so correctly stated, “Birds of a feather flock together.”

Third, dressing up improves part of one’s appearance, so it brings self-gratitude, which brings happiness with oneself, which improves the picture one has of oneself, which breeds self-confidence and greater ability to deal successfully with others.

Fourth, when women dress up they make my world prettier. Of course, women respond that they care little about brightening this man’s world, but I’m not the only man out there. If women don’t want to light up the world men live in, men are released to uglify in their own style. In the end, the way women dress and groom themselves shapes the real world for all of us.   

A WOMAN DRESSES AND GROOMS HERSELF:

©      For comfort to please herself.

©      With class to show her self-confidence.

©      Prettily to feel good about herself.

©      Distinctly to attract a man’s attention.

©      Sloppily if she just doesn’t care.

©      As a hottie to avoid being called a nottie.

©   Carelessly if she thinks little of yourself.

©      Stylishly if she wants to stand out.

©      Fashionably if she can afford it.

©      For the weather to protect her decorum.

©      Motherly, mother-like, or domestically if she seeks the respect of mature and older people.

©      Erotically if she’s desperate or into one-night stands.

©      Cheaply if she thinks so little of herself.

©      In the wrong size, if it’s all she has.

©      Modestly if she’s proud of her femaleness.

 The MNS says North Indian’s go back.

Their forefathers had said South Indians go back.

Their predecessors will say Indian’s go back.

 Why are we surprised when we persecute people on the basis of caste, color, education, money, religion, belief, sex, age, strength?

 Behave as Hindus

Behave as Mahasrashtrians.

How does a Maharashtrian behave?

 Do they walk on their heads?

Do they speak Esperanto?

Do they drink the air and eat the soil to provide nutrition to their spirit, body and soul?

 What do they do that is so different from me and you who are Indians? What is the smell, texture, weight of their souls and other tangible and etceteras that make the Marathimanoos something that we should all aspire to or strive to become, because we are told to? Otherwise we shall be beaten, threatened of extermination and one day…poof.

 Fine country we live in. Fine leaders we have. Fine followers that follow this fascist called…I don’t even want to take his name. And if this is what Maharashtra is supposed to mean and represent, then I will choose to die rather than become a Maharashtrian.

This last few days, ak ngrasa jd org yg
payah banget T_T coz tends to be
emotional even if it is caused by
sumthing which is veryyyy simple,
actually. Ngetrend nya org2 bilang,
masih CHILDISH (kata favorit yg
ditujukan ke ak bagi org2 yg ngakunya
udah `dewasa` hehehe peace). Basically,
ak tau kalo sst mslh sebenere ada yg
worth it or gak worth it sama sekali
buat dipermasalahin ato mungkin memang
harus dipermasalahin but juzt wait for
the RIGHT TIME to discuss it with the
RIGHT PERSON!!! Damn...its sooooo
difficult. Eventhough i know it, i just
CAN`T control my emotion when I look at
d one whom I `think` (or don`t think AT
ALL) to be responsible to my anger!!
Then, acara SHOWING MY ANGER TO
EVERYONE AROUND ME juzt happened, `n
finally....I really REGRET WHAT I`VE
DONE, `n lebih parah lagi, krn udah tau
jelas2 salah, masih jg pelihara EGO
SEGEDE GAJAH buat ga ngakuin kalo
salah...Pdha l deep down inside
(cieehhh). ..I feel that I take d
biggest part of doing that mistake...T_T

Then, d consequence is that I can`t
change others` point of view about my
behaviour...ch ildish...egoist??? Yeah...TENDS TO BE EMOTIONAL...Bukan
kok mau permasalahin cara pandang orang
lain ke kita, tapi inilah yg bikin kita
kehilangan kesempatan buat dapet some
new frenz...T_T Maybe worse, malah
dijauhin ma org yg sebelumnya udah
deket ma kita??!!! Well, d consequences
will be different one each other, tp yg
jelas GAK ADA satupun dari konsekuensi
yg muncul -merupakan hal yg baik buat
diri kita maupun org lain.

I`ve been thinking....
I can`t change what has happened....
But I have learned a new point of view
from it (hope so...) I just realize HOW
IMPORTANT is to be able to
control/manage our emotion. Ada satu
orang yg ngomong ke aku, pada saat kita
emosi/ngamuk ma seseorg, bayangkan SAAT-
SAAT PERTAMA KALI KITA AWAL KALI KENAL
ORANG ITU...Lazimnya, saat kita pertama
kali kenal ma seseorg, management emosi
kita bakal luar biasa lebih bagus dari
standard kita biasanya (baca: toleransi
teramat tinggi) -- bisa karena jaim,
sungkan mo ngamuk kan belon deket, ato
maybe ada chemistry yg maen waktu kita
pertama kali kenal ma that sumone, or
any other reason, it depends on you -
yourself... Lalu, setelah acara
`nostalgia` itu, TUNDA sejenak acara
ngambek2an itu, `n liat lagi kapan saat
yg tepat buat `BERDISKUSI` ttg
uncomfortable yg kamu rasain ato malah
sebenere kamu bisa just let it go...
Maybe semunya simply just because of a
little misunderstanding between you.
Well, about that opinion, ak
pikir...BETUL JUGA...unfortunately ,
betul gak berarti GAMPANG buat
dilakuin...< BR>
Well, I am still TRYing to control
myself until now..
I don`t know when will I can be a
better girl..
But, I hope there always be a chance
for me to move forward...
And surely I hope, by sharing this
experience, there`s one of you that
learn sumthing from d mistake that I`ve
done, `n don`t do d same foolishness as
I did before...
Have a good day ^^

The diagnostic statistical manual (DSM) is a handbook for mental health professionals that lists different categories of mental disorder and the criteria for diagnosing them, according to the publishing organisation the American Psychiatric Association. It is used worldwide by clinicians and researchers as well as insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and policy makers. The DSM lists 10 personality disorders (see below).

Considerable research has gone into linking these personality disorders with trait models of personality. To see whether, for example, people with avoidant personality disorder are introverted, as might be expected. In 2004, Saulsman and Page published a paper in Clinical Psychology Review, which brought together all of the previous resesarch in this area, and analysed it all as one big study. They found that there were indeed links between personality disorders and the five major personality traits, which are used in this application.

The following is a list of the ten personality disorders and also some details about their relationships with the traits used in this application. When calculating the disorders, the average of each trait is taken into account. So, since the average openness score is actually 70% (not 50%) - even if you have a score of 65% for openness, you will actually be classed as being below-average on the openness trait. Paranoid Personality Disorder

People with a low agreeableness score and a high neuroticism score are most likely to show paranoid personality disorder. It affects only about 4% of Facebook`s sample.

Schizoid Personality Disorder

People with a low extraversion and agreeableness score are most likely to show schizoid personality disorder. It affects just 3% of Facebook`s sample and so the rarest personality disorder in the sample.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder

People with a combination of low extraversion and agreeableness scores, and a high neuroticism score are most likely to show schizotypal personality disorder. It affects 6% of Facebook`s sample.

Antisocial Personality Disorder

People with low conscientiousness and agreeableness scores are most likely to show antisocial personality disorder. It affects 9% of Facebook`s sample.

Borderline Personality Disorder

People with a combination of low conscientiousness and agreeableness scores, and a high neuroticism score are most likely to show borderline personality disorder. It affects 12% of Facebook`s sample.

Histrionic Personality Disorder

People with a high openness score and a high extraversion score are most likely to show histrionic personality disorder. It affects 20% of Facebook`s sample and so is the most common personality disorder in the
sample.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

People with a high extraversion score and a low agreeableness score are most likely to show narcissistic personality disorder. It affects 8% of Facebook`s sample.

Avoidant Personality Disorder

People with a low extraversion score and a high neuroticism score are most likely to show avoidant personality disorder. It affects 14% of Facebook`s sample.

Dependent Personality Disorder

People with a high neuroticism score and a general combination of low openness, conscientiousness and extraversion scores are most likely to show dependent personality disorder. It affects 8% of Facebook`s sample.

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

People especially with a high conscientiousness score and also a low extraversion score are most likely to show obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. It affects 17% of Facebook`s sample. Note that obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is different from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)! The personality disorder is simply related to perfectionism, whereas OCD is related to repetitive behaviours that make it difficult to live a normal life.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is father |the true father| over all that is called father In heaven and in earth, that he would grant you according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye being rooted and grounded in love, might be able to comprehend with all saints, what is that breadth and length, depth and height: and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God. Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, |understand| according to the power that worketh in us, be praise in the congregation by |which is in| Jesus Christ, through out all generations from time to time. |at all times for ever and ever| Amen.

“the commandments are not given inappropriately or pointlessly; but in order that through them the proud, blind man may learn the plague of his impotence, should he try to do as he is commanded.”

These are the commandments from God.

Isaiah 58:1
"Therefore cry now, as loud as thou canst. Leave not off, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their offences, and the house of Jacob their sins. For they seek me daily, and will know my ways, even as it were a people that did right, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God. They argue with me concerning right judgement, and will pleate at the law with their God. " {For me they seek day by day, and will know my ways, as a people that doth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the equity of their God.}

By God's grace, I know Satan very well. If Satan can turn God's Word upside down and pervert the Scriptures, what will he do with my words -- or the words of others?

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city." - Revelation 22:14

Just now came an article from BBC Health about abortion!! God said to Jeremiah. "The word of the LORD spake thus unto me: Before I fashioned thee in thy mother's womb, I did know thee: And or ever thou wast born, I sanctified thee, and ordained thee, to be a Prophet unto the people." Thank God for Jesus! Read Micah 5

SEE BELOW....The Embryo! The unborn Child Not Abortion!

The commandments came from the voice of God, spoken to His servant Moses. We all are bound by these regardless, God's unchanging Moral standard. God wrote this on Tablets of stone. (1 Corinthians 15.56)

The Bible is like a lion; it does not need to be defended; just let it loose and it will defend itself.

- Martin Luther

It's the law of God, God's intention is for us to see His righteousness. God's intention for the commandments is for us to realize that we are sinful weak and we need the goodness and mercy of God through Jesus Christ. Moses created these from the voice of God, These still reign!! This is indestructible it is God's unchangeable moral standard that still stands today.
Thou shall not. There is not a single one of us who has followed these commandments to a tee, only Jesus can say that. You decided to break yourself if you broke these Laws of the Living God. These are the unchanging Laws, you broke something within you. His love gave us these to see who we actually are. You can violate them your privilege, but you will suffer cuz you decided to break them. You
pay the consequences of breaking this eternal law. You cannot change it in anyway. Jesus came to fulfil them. God gave these to us in His love for us cuz we are human. He wishes to show us where there will be trouble to us.

“Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. If you want to have eternal life, you must obey his commandments.” Mark 10.18-19

The task of man's earthly life is preparing himself for eternal salvation and beatitude. To attain this, a man must live in a holy and pure manner obedience to God.
How can one recognize this? First of all, in one's conscience, which for this reason, is called God's voice in the soul of man. If life-giving tree had not been taken away from us the human soul, man would be able unerringly and firmly to direct the path of his life according to the dictates of his conscience, in which the inner moral law is expressed. We know, however, that in a sinful man, not only are the mind, heart and will damaged, but the conscience is also darkened and its judgement and voice have lost their firm clearness and strength. It is not without reason that some people are called unconscionable.
But since the devil's bride, Reason, that pretty whore, comes in and thinks she's wise, and what she says, what she thinks, is from the Holy Spirit, who can help us, then? Not judges, not doctors, no king or emperor, because [reason] is the Devil's greatest whore.

(German: M.Luther Wer... ein Christ sein will, der... steche seiner Vernunft die Augen aus.... Vernunft und die Weisheit unseres Fleisches verdammen die Weisheit von Gottes Wort .. aber du mußt allhier [in Glaubensangelegenheiten] die Vernunft fahren lassen und von ihr nichts wissen und sie gar töten, sonst wird man nicht ins Himmelreich kommen.
Luther hat die Wahrheit wie eine schöne Frau gefürchtet. Die Vernunft ist für ihn eine Hure, die jedem Herrn zu Diensten ist, wobei er an jene Theologen gedacht haben mag, die dem päpstlichen Herrschaftswillen frei zur Verfügung standen. Die von Luther kritisierte Vernunft ist die rein zweckrationale Vernunft, die nach geeigneten Mitteln für Ziele sucht, die von ihr selbst nicht festgelegt sind.") Was_ist_Buße?

Therefore, conscience alone - the inner voice - became insufficient for man to live and act according to God's will. The need arose for an external guide, for a God-revealed law. Such a law was given by God to people in two aspects: first, the preparatory - the Old Testament law of Moses - then the full and perfect Gospel law.
There are two distinguishable parts in Moses' law: the religious-moral and the national-ceremonial which was closely tied with the history and way of life. The second aspect is for Christians, that is, the national-ceremonial rules and laws, but the religious-moral laws preserve their force in Christianity. Therefore, all the ten commandments in the law of Moses are obligatory for Christians. Christianity has not altered them. On the contrary, Christianity has taught people to understand these commandments, not externally - literally, in the manner of blind, slavish obedience, and external fulfilment, but it has revealed the full spirit and taught the perfect and full understanding and fulfilment of them. For Christians, however, Moses' law has significance only because its central commandments (the ten which deal with love of God and neighbours) are accepted and shown forth by Christianity. We are guided in our life not by this preparatory and temporary law of Moses, but by the perfect and eternal law of Christ.

The Ten commandments are God's moral standard for ALL (Księga Wyjścia 20) .

*1.* Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (His absolute sovereignty in all. (Exodus 20.3) (Księga Wyjścia 20) Anything anybody you place before God is Idolatry. Even your superhero, money, your relationship should not be before God. (1John 5.21) Babes keep yourselves from images.{Little children beware of images} Amen.

*2.* Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20.4-5) Jesus said (Matthew 4.10) Then said Jesus unto him, avoid Satan. For it is written, thou shalt worship thy Lord God,{the Lord thy God} and him only, shalt thou serve. If you have to look at something to remind you of God there is something. God does not want us bowing down to anything. Christ in you is sufficient! To recognize an idol is to say I know God is up there but here is something. The next thing you know is your worshipping this.

*3.* Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. I do not partake of anyone who punishes themselves in this fashion. It will not go unpunished. (Exodus 20.7)

*4.* Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.(Exodus 20.8)
Saturday is the day of rest is what God has subscribed. A day for God His word and a day to be solely for Him. (COLOSSIANS 2.16) Let no man therefore trouble your consciences about meat and drink: or for a piece of an holy day, as the holy day of the new moon or of the Sabbath day, Do not work all seven days of the week!

*or*
Click here for more!! *or* The LORD's Day! *or* The Sabbath in History!

*5.* Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (Exodus 20.12) You'll live in such a way that you'll be productive and fruitful. Does not mean for you to wonder about them, you shall honour them regardless. The ten commandments should be known by your child, make their lives better for you and all others for this is right. (Ephesians 6.1-4) Children obey your fathers and mothers|elders| in the Lord: for so is it right.
(6:2)
Honour {thy} father and mother, that is the first commandment that hath any promise,
(6:3)
that thou mayst be in good estate,|mayest prosper| and live long on the|upon| earth.
(6:4)
{And ye} Fathers, move|provoke| not your children to wrath: but bring them up with the nurture and information of the Lord. The first image of God a child receives is their Daddy. God intended for it to be that way. We are responsible for instructing our children, teaching them training them. You as a parent are responsible so living before them. They will want to honour you they will desire to honour you they will want the same qualities in their life. There is a mutual responsibility so he says Children obey your parents. God knew if they did not honour your parents why would anyone honour our God that one cannot see.

*6.* Thou shalt not kill. (Exodus 20.13) This means we are not to take someone's life in a designed or vengeful way. Not talking about war, God sent the nation of Israel to war. We are to respect human life. The doctor is wilfully killing a life created by God! Your gonna have to give an account to God. there is room for accidents all in the old testament. Do not deliberately take another life.

*7.* Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Exodus 20.14) We redefined Adultery it is called having an affair. We have degraded to the point that people boast of yes we are having an affair. Reality is we are breaking the seventh commandment, we have become so blind, we accepted the ways of the world, God gave us these to show us the wickedness of our heart. We seem to have accept it as a lifestyle, these are given to us to protect the family and relationships and you. The persons guilty of adultery the penalty is death by stoning. Not just so much the act it's the thought when someone lusts after another person it is adultery. In your mind you start taking steps to commit ADULTERY!

*8.* Thou shalt not steal. (Exodus 20.15) To take something that belongs to someone else is unacceptable to God. If you are lazy on your
job are you accepting the monies to do your work? really?

*9.* Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. (Exodus 20.16) Do not make statements that are false. Gossip is not truth, be
very careful!! Do not abuse anyone else's life. In a mere statement is wrong to you.

*10.* You shall not covet (Exodus 20.17) the neighbours house, the neighbours wife or husband, their servants, ox, donkey, etc.
Do not want what someone else has. This is an attitude in your heart.

The living word of God The Holy Bible, this book is the most precious thing that exists on the face of this earth. Because it is the mind of God, given in such a fashion and so translated so we can know his mind and live by it. These ten commandments are God's unchanging moral standard for all mankind for you and for me. If I'm willing through the help of the Holy Spirit, the strength of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit, if I'm willing to live a Godly life He is living within each of us to enable us to live naturally by the Spirit. To do the things that are right in each and every one of these areas.

“Repent: for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” – Matthew 4:17

When we are in a moment of weakness or fail what do we do? We immediately ask Him to forgive us, we repent of that, and ask God for His forgiveness and thanks giving and His strength to move on and over that sin and keep living. Is there ever a time in your life when you no longer have to worry about the ten commandments? Nope see (James 2.10) If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture which saith: Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
2:9
but if ye regard one person more than another, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the law as transgressors.
2:10
Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one point, he is guilty in all.
2:11
For he that said: Thou shalt not commit fornication,{adultery} said also: thou shalt not kill. Though thou shalt do no fornication,{do none adultery} yet if thou kill, thou art a transgressor of the law.
2:12
So speak ye, and so do as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
2:13
For there shall be judgement merciless to him that sheweth no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against judgement:
2:14
What availeth it my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, when he hath no deeds? Can faith save him?
2:15
If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of daily food,
2:16
and one of you say unto them: Depart in peace, God send you warmness and food: notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body: what helpeth it them?
2:17
Even so faith, if it have no deeds is dead in itself.
2:18
But one shall{Yea and a man might} say: Thou hast faith, and I have deeds: Shew me thy faith by thy deeds: and I will shew thee my faith by my deeds.
2:19
Believest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. *The devils also believe and tremble. (See below regarding this for the Churches seem to disregard this completely why?)
No-One can say they kept them all. And I know I cannot keep all of them would not even dare to try!

The only reason anyone can be acceptable in to heaven when we're there is pure grace of God that He has provided forgiveness in our weakness and our frailty, He's willing to forgive us of our sinfulness. This is the unchanging LAWS spoken by God, given to regulate our conduct every single day of our life. This should be a goal for all of us, to live by. Not by simple statement of these commands, but by the elaboration and interpretation which Jesus gave to every single one of us. We are not to live in some burden it is to live in freedom and liberty, that by the power of the Holy Spirit of choose to live by the LAWS of God, and love my brother and treat them right, Honour God for who He is, and honour others for who they are.

Jesus Said!! the following...

Matt 5

5:17Ye shall not think,_{{Think not}} that I am come to disannul_{destroy} the law, other the prophets: no I am not come to disannul_{destroy} them, but to fulfil them.5:18For truly I say unto you, till heaven and earth perish, one jot, or one tittle of the law shall not scape, till all be fulfilled.5:19Whosoever breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever shall observe_{observeth} and teach them,_{teacheth} that person_{{the same}} shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.5:20For I say unto you except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

If any nation comes to accept the ten commandments as the unchanging moral standard regulating the moral conduct of all men, what an awesome change will happen in that nation. If you ignore these standards of God your on a road of self destruction. God will judge those who violate these laws, and those who degrade them or demeaning their value in anyway. You will be judged by all mighty God who is just.
You cannot be saved by the ten commandments, these are for us to realize that we need the love of God and the forgiveness of God.

We act the way we think. That's what we have done, oh boy a society so messed up. it's a mess, God has given us a simple ten commandments to make Life so much more wonderful and amazing!

All versions state clearly state kill or murder.

Matt 10.1
> And he (Jesus) called his twelve disciples unto him, and gave them power against{over all} unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sicknesses, and all manner of diseases.

Mark 16:17
> And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils, and shall speak with new tongues,
> 16:18
> and shall kill serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The Embryo! The unborn Child Not Abortion!

Proverb 24:5A wise man is strong, yea a man of understanding is better than he that is mighty of strength.
24:6 For with discretion must wars be taken in hand, and where as are many that can give counsel, there is the victory. 24:7Wisdom is an high thing, yea even to the fool, for he dare not open his mouth in the gate.
24:8He that imagineth mischief, may well be called an ungracious person.
24:9The thought of the foolish is sin, and the scornful is an abomination unto men.
24:10If thou be overseen and negligent in time of need, then is thy strength but small.
24:11Deliver them that go unto death, and are led away to be slain, and be not negligent therein.
24:12If thou wilt say: I knew not of it; Thinkest thou that he which made the hearts, doth not consider it? And that he which regardeth thy soul, seeth it not? Shall not he recompense every man according to his works?
24:13My son, thou eatest honey and the sweet honeycomb, because it is good and sweet in thy mouth.
24:14Even so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul, as soon as thou hast gotten it. And there is good hope, yea thy hope shall not be in vain.
24:15Lay no privy wait wickedly upon the house of the righteous, and disquiet not his resting place.
24:16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again, but the ungodly fall into wickedness.
24:17Rejoice not thou at the fall of thine enemy, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth.
24:18Lest the LORD when he seeth it, be angry, and turn his wrath from him unto thee.
24:19Let not thy wrath and jealousy move thee, to follow the wicked and ungodly.
24:20And why? the wicked hath nothing to hope for, and the candle of the ungodly shall be put out

"And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." Jude 1:22-23

Order your anti-abortion signs at the above link so that you can go to a clinic and warn potential "customers" about what they are about to do--there are some women that would NOT do it IF THEY KNEW. Hellivision will show everything but abortion--they'll show brain surgery, inside a womb during relations, whoredom, adultery, profanity, rape, anything but an abortion and what happens to the baby.) Carry some tracts and a homemade sign (white posterboard with black letters)
about how Jesus saves.

The human spirit enters the human embryo at conception. It is this spirit that may, upon adult conversion, be united with the Holy Spirit from the great Creator God, impregnating that human with God-life as a child of the living God, in a state of gestation, though as yet unborn. To destroy an embryo or a fetus in a mother's uterus is to MURDER a potential future God Being.
Therefore, abortion is murder.
The physical embryo and fetus is fed physically through the mother. God's church is called Jerusalem above "which is the mother of us all" Galatians 4.26Notice the exact parallel! the church is the spiritual mother of its members. God has set his called and chosen ministers in his church to feed the flock - "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ" Ephesians 4.11-13

Protect the the begotten yet unborn saints of false doctrines and ministers
The human mother carries her unborn baby in that part of her body where she can best protect it from physical harm; and that protection is part of her function, as well as to norish the unborn child! Even so, the church, through Christ's ministers, instructs, teaches, counsels with, advises, and protects from spiritual harm the unborn members of God's eternal kingdom! As the physical fetus must grow physically large enough to be born, so the begotten Christian must grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 3.18) must overcome, must developing spiritual character during this life in order to be born into their kingdom of God!!
As the fetus gradually develops, one by one the organs, features and characteristics, even so the begotten child of God must gradually, continually, develop the spiritual character - love, faith, patience, gentleness, temperance. They must live by, and be a doer of the Word of God. They must develop the divine character!

God created sex, not only to keep humanity alive, but to bring delectable, joyfully, pleasurable, happiness in pure and wholesome love between husband and wife, and as a means of binding tightly the cord supposedly tying a husband and wife tightly together is proving to be the cord that chokes the marriage.

Remember God told Adam and Eve that for disobedience and stealing the forbidden fruit, they would SURELY DIE. But God had offered them freely the gift of eternal life, by choosing the "tree of life." When they chose the forbidden fruit, God drove the man (and his wife) out of the Garden, "lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever" (Gen. 3:22). But through Christ, a repentant humanity may yet receive God's gift of eternal life. To Nicodemus Jesus explained, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3). Of course Nicodemus couldn't quite grasp that. He knew that he had been born by being delivered from his mother's womb. He knew the difference between being BORN and being merely BEGOTTEN - something few theologians seem to know today. Jesus explained, "That which is born of the flesh IS FLESH; and that which is born of the Spirit IS SPIRIT" (verse 6). Man is MORTAL. Man came from THE GROUND. He is FLESH - material flesh. Jesus was not talking about another physical birth - but He was talking about a spiritual birth - when man shall BE SPIRIT - be wholly composed of SPIRIT. He shall then have been BORN of GOD! God is Spirit (John 4:24); man is physical flesh.
A human has to be BEGOTTEN by his human father. To be born again of the Spirit - of GOD - one must first be begotten by the SPIRITUAL FATHER - Almighty God.
God condemns homosexuality. He destroyed the whole populations of Sodom and Gomorrah for this sin. It is condemned in the first chapter of Romans God's new testament after Christs birth of the virgin Mary. Sodomites cannot enter the kingdom of God!! Repent!! turn from your ways God loves you and we all need each other in His eternal Kingdom. Repent!

Casting out evil Spirits! and teach the building of the eternal kingdom of God!
Jesus knows demons and Paul taught so. Demons believed Acts 19:17
> 19:13
> {Then} Certain of the vagabond jews exorcists,|conjurers| took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus saying: We adjure you by Jesu whom Paul preacheth.
> 19:14
> {And} There were seven sons of one Sceva a ruler of the synagogue{a Jew and chief of the priests} which did so:
> 19:15
> and the evil spirit answered and said: Jesus I know, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
> 19:16
> And the man in whom the wicked devil{evil spirit} was, ran on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the{that} house naked and wounded.
> 19:17
> {And} This was known to all the jews and greeks also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and fear came on them all. And they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus.
> 19:18
> And many that believed came, and confessed and shewed their works.

they know who casts out demons! Acts 19:15
How do demons invade your life by your invitation. By reading what you read, read the Bible you invite the Holy Spirit.
The battle for your soul is in your mind. Hebrews 3, Proverbs 3, 2 Cor 10:5
Matt 12 :35-37
> 12:35
> A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth good things. And an evil man out of his evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.
> 12:36
> But I say unto you, that of every idle word, that men shall have spoken, they shall give accounts at the day of judgement.
> 12:37
> For by thy words thou shalt be justified: and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Condemned
Be careful of mind and your thoughts the tongue should be controlled better.
Luke 4:10
> 4:10
> For it is written, he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee,

watch read only what God wishes, not your or society, wants.

2 Tim 1:7
> 1:7 For God hath not given to us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of honest behaviour.{soberness of mind.}|right understanding|
> 1:8 Be not ashamed to testify our Lord, neither be ashamed of me, which am bound for his sake:|his prisoner| but suffer {thou} adversity with the gospel{gospell} also thorow|according to| the power of God,
> 1:9 which saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not after{according to} our deeds, but for{according} his {own} purpose and grace, which grace was given us thorow Christ Jesu before the world was,

St Paul taught 2Cor 11.13-15
> 2:5 If any man hath caused sorrow, the same hath not made me sorry: but partly, lest I should grieve you all.
> 2:6 It is sufficient unto the same man that he was rebuked of many.
> 2:7 So that now contrariwise ye ought to forgive him and comfort him: lest that same {person} should be swallowed up with overmuch heaviness.
> 2:8 Wherefore I exhort you, that love may have strength over him.|that ye shew love upon him|
> 2:9 For this cause verily did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye should be obedient in all things.
> 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also. And verily if I forgive any thing, to whom I forgave it for your sakes forgave I it, in the room of Christ,
> 2:11 lest Satan should prevent us. For his thoughts are not unknown unto us.
> 2:12 When I was come to Troada for Christ's{Christes} gospel's sake (and a great door was opened unto me of the Lord)
> 2:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but took my leave of them and went away into Macedonia.

Ordain a Homo denies word of God, the virgin birth, feels good without forgiveness, talking to God without knowing Jesus is no Church at all.

1. Demons entice.
Heb 11.25
> 11:23
> By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months of his father and mother, because they saw he was a proper child: neither feared they the king's commandment.
> 11:24
> By faith Moses when he was of a great age,{when he was great} refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
> 11:25
> and chose rather to suffer adversity with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season,
> 11:26
> and esteemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, than the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect unto the reward.
> 11:27
> By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the king. For he endured, even as he had seen him which is invisible.

13:8 Owe no thing to any man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another, fulfilleth the law. 13:9 For these commandments: Thou shalt not commit advoutry: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not desire: and so forth if there be any other commandment, are all comprehended in this saying: Love thine neighbor as thyself. 13:10 Love hurteth not his neighbor: Therefore is love the fulfilling of the law. 13:11 This also we know, I mean the season, how that it is time that we should now awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

God had closed the Holy Spirit and eternal life to mankind in general until the removal of Satan at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Traditional Christian teaching had always assumed there is a contest between God and Satan--that God has been trying desperately to "get the world saved," but in this great controversy Satan has been winning. In other words, God had sent Jesus Christ at his First Coming to try to win this ongoing war against Satan. Traditional Christianity has taught that "whosoever will may come" and be "saved" through Jesus. The full truth on this point had not come crystal clear to me until very recently. This truth is indeed mind- boggling. It clears what had been clouded in mystery.
Read where Jesus said, "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man" (John 3:13). Research the heaven and hell teaching further. The inspired Peter, on the day he received the Holy Spirit, said, "For David is not ascended into the heavens" (Acts 2:34).

A World Held Captive

Thus, from that moment, Satan had spiritually kidnapped Adam, and all his human family has ever since been held captive by Satan. God would have revealed to Adam God's way of life--which is God's spiritual law. That law is the way of outflowing love--but it would have been "the love of God...shed abroad in [human] hearts by the Holy [Spirit]" (Rom. 5:5). Human natural carnal love cannot fulfill God's holy law. But, even as a human embryo has been begotten by human parents, and just as the embryo must develop through the process of gestation before being born, so is the Spirit-led Christian, and so would have been Adam. But he would have experienced a direct connection and contact with God. I like to compare this to the umbilical cord connecting the newborn baby with its mother. Its human life and physical nourishment has been supplied during gestation from the mother to the child. God's spirit LIFE is imparted to the Christian through the Holy Spirit. Also, spiritual knowledge is imparted by God but through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 2:10). Full comprehension of God's LAW (his way of life) is imparted by God through the Holy Spirit. But the law of God requires action and performance, and LOVE is the fulfilling of God's law (Rom. 13:10), and it can be fulfilled only by the love of and from God (Rom. 5:5). So Adam would have had the in-depth spiritual knowledge to live God's way, and also would have been supplied with the divine love that, only, can fulfill that perfect law of love and put it into action.
He would also have received by the Spirit of God the very FAITH of God. He would have received knowledge, guidance and help from God. He would have had reliance on God to intervene in matters beyond his control. In such matters God supernaturally does for us what we are unable to do for ourselves. In other words, God fights our battles for us.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

IN LOVE, God equipped humans with the five physical senses, to supply man with wholesome ENJOYMENT AND PLEASURE! But the use of these senses can be turned in the wrong direction! The privilege carries with it the obligation of responsibility. This is part of the character-building process. I repeat! Sin is not the thing - but the WRONG USE of the thing!
God intended man to be HAPPY! It is God's will that we ENJOY life - that it be pleasurable, satisfying, wholesome, rewarding! But God gave us minds - and made HIS WORD available - to distinguish the TRUE values from the false! Not to decide, in our own minds, what selfish or lustful desire would like to make right - but to distinguish what God reveals He has made right.
The right use of the five senses brings enjoyable, pleasurable sensations that are uplifting, constructive, beneficial - not only to the self, but to others. The wrong and sinful use of the senses also may produce pleasurable sensations, but these wrong uses are psychologically, spiritually and physically destructive and harmful - not only to the self, but often also to others.

It is a matter of RIGHT or WRONG direction. It is a matter of attitude! How may we humans know which use is right, and which is wrong? BY THE LAW OF GOD!

The GOOD NEWS (the Gospel) is that it is very EASY to have the Holy Spirit. God came down to this earth 2,000 years ago and took upon Himself the form of a man. That man was the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1,14; 1st Timothy 3:16). Literally, the GODHEAD became incarnate (Colossians 2:9). Jesus was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14) (Księga Izajasza 7) . Jesus never sinned once (2nd Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died, was buried and rose again after three days (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Jesus shed His blood to pay for all our sins (Colossians 1:14; 1st Peter 1:18,19), and applied that blood to the Mercy Seat in Heaven (Hebrews 9:24-26).
There are a few things you must know to be saved:
1. You are a sinner under the condemnation of God's Law (Romans 3:10, 23).
2. You are GUILTY, and deserve to go to Hellfire as punishment for your sins (Romans 3:19; 6:23; Revelation 21:8).
3. Jesus Christ, God in the flesh (God's Son), died upon the cross to pay for your sins (John 3:16-18; Romans 5:8). It is Jesus' blood that takes our sins away (1 John 1:7).

If you believe that Jesus is the Savior (the Christ) who paid for your sins, and you realize your sinful condition (and thus your need for a Savior), then you're ready to be born again. All you need to do is repent (i.e., turn 180° from the way you were) to Jesus Christ in faith, believing upon Him to forgive your sins and save you... "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." You may pray if you'd like, but you don't have to. Salvation is of the heart (Romans 10:10). If you'd like to pray, simply ask Jesus to forgive your sins and tell Him that you're trusting Him as your Savior. It matters not exactly what you pray, just as long as you realize these two main truths:
1. You are a guilty sinner under the condemnation of God's Law!
2. Jesus is the Savior who shed His blood to take away your sins!

Salvation is very simple. We are sinners, and Jesus is the Savior. You see friend, there is no religion involved here, ONLY Jesus. Salvation is NOT found in a religion, but in a Person---The Lord Jesus Christ.

May God bless you,

How do you tell your child that Halloween is not for them?

Let's SWING THE PENDULUM WAY TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF A WHIPPING:

"Don't pick at your bellybutton or it will come unwound inside you." This was to keep kids from embarrassing mom and grossing everyone out- during hot summer picnics.

"Don't eat watermelon seeds or one will grow in your stomach." No one was sure what would happen-so better to be safe.

"Don't pick at the grout, or the tub will fall through the floor with you in it!" Mom and dad were spared extra work as I envisioned an unwanted trip to China.

"Don't swim for 30 minutes until after you eat or you will get a cramp and drown." Parents used this to keep their children seated during family reunions; rather than sitting to visit Aunt Edna-they would slam down lunch and jump right in.

"Be good or the boogy man will get you." Blanket statement to cover most of our sins.

"Be good or Santa won't come." Softening up on the boogyman theory for Seasonal reasons.

"Be good because the Man in the Moon is watching you." Now, its not so pretty anymore.

"Don't touch the birdies eggs. The mother won't come back, and the babies will die because of you!" Ooops...now I'm awake for weeks...

I believed these lies as a child. They controlled me. They manipulated and terrorized me in my sleep.

I think a quick whipping would have been better.

Why do we need to use fresh food when we can buy it ready prepared?

These days, we all tend to live busy hectic lives and look for a quick solution when it comes to eating. We do not plan ahead and just grab something when hunger pangs arise. The food industry has made it even easier, with ready prepared food easily available in many different ways.

So why bother to use fresh food?

There are 3 key reasons:

1. Fresh food helps to prevent colds and infections, especially during the winter months.

2. Fresh food helps to prevent all forms of illness and disease.

3. Fresh food helps to increase vitality and energy levels.

Food is our fuel and putting in an inferior grade means that we function at a reduced level.

Is this what we want for our new born babies and young children? Do we really want them to suffer unnecessary ill health and grow up with poor levels of vitality?

No of course not! Yet unwittingly this is what we are giving our children when we don’t wean them on fresh food. Babies and young children are innocent beings, they eat whatever they are given. Thus begins their life time eating habits.

Help your baby experience the taste, texture and smell of fresh fruit and vegetables, both raw and cooked. Plan ahead and buy in some fruit and let it ripen for a day or two before you need it. Raise your level of awareness and wean your baby on fresh foods!

Today’s Tip: Cook fresh vegetables for your baby and freeze small amounts in an ice-cube tray. You can defrost this quickly when you are in a hurry.
