There is a free golf camp next week for the children of deployed servicemen. I called today and asked how to sign up. I would need to bring the children's shot records to register. I asked about getting a waiver. I was told that there would not be enough time to get it approved before the camp.
Ok. Fine. We can play golf on our own. And we won't suffer from the side effects of vaccinations.
I just need to remember that there's a reason why we homeschool. It's because we want to protect our children.
Lord, thank you for using these missed opportunities to remind me that the world's ways are not your ways, even if they are enticing. We are not missing out when we trust in You to take care of us. Thank you for keeping us healthy through good nutrition. I especially thank you for making breast milk to give the children life-long immunity. I know that we are susceptible to diseases and sicknesses because this is a fallen world. I also know that you give us knowledge to reject what is not wholesome for us. Please continue to bless us with good health and the desire to keep healthy nutritionally.

Whatever the government mandates is good
Safe or Unsafe?
The CDC states that Hepatitis B is a result of aberrant behavior. Is there any reason God-fearing parents would need to have their newly born child protected from this disease? Not if they are monogamous and do not use illegal drugs. This may make it into the top of my list of 1000 reasons why hospital births are unsafe and bad for mother and baby.
Most parents probably don't think their baby is at risk for HepB, but they haven't taken the time and effort to understand what a hospital is all about. Most people believe that whatever an authority figure wants to do is for their good. That's the way it's supposed to be. Why do we think doctors are to be trusted anymore than the rest of the population? Doctors know what they know based on what they've been taught in medical school. What do most children learn in public school about how everything came into being?
Jay Wile of Apologia fame may be a great textbook writer, but he must've been educated in a school environment where learning is about accepting what the medical community puts out as fact.
How sad that when given an opportunity to speak on the topic of vaccinations, he accuses the other side of deception instead of being balanced. Why not encourage parents to research on their own and to take their children's health and well-being into their own hands instead of assuming their doctor is always right? Why not caution against multiple vaccinations given together because it's too hard on our children's little bodies? Why not question the necessity of vaccines like Gardasil which go hand in hand with sex ed in public schools?
Our authority is Jesus Christ. In Him, alone, can we be free from the fear that this world makes us believe in.

Remember the chia pets?
Well...they're really good for you! I've just ordered 25 pounds. So you know who to get in touch with if you want some. :)
I was going to write about all the health benefits of chia, but since the information is already out there, I won't bother.
Maybe we'll try to grow some of our own Chia pets soon. I just can't let Max know that they came out with them in the 1970's. He thinks anything '80s and before is really goofy. He's right, but little did we know how good the chia seed really is for us. It's ok if he thinks his parents are goofy products of the '70s too. One day he will be a father and his thinking will become rational. We love you, Max, even if you are a product of the '90s. :)
