I’d like to thank CWAHD for inviting me to their blog, to announce I don’t have one. I run jorimslist.com, a video game content resource site for parents. Believe it or not, there really is nothing exactly like it on the web. Nobody else I know of is playing through every game and making note of all the objectionable content in detail. But I think this is the best way to help parents make a decision about the games that are best for their kids, not just noting the ESRB’s little black box on the back of the video game cover.

Video games are here to stay, and parents need to know–know what’s in those games, that is. The age-recommendation on the back of every video game box is only that: a recommendation. It can’t solve the argument, “But Mom, my friends have it!” And often Dads are just big kids themselves when it comes to gaming. But what’s appropriate for a dad may or may not be appropriate for the child.

Jorim’s List details objectionable content for each game, giving parents the information they need to make the all-important decision about what games they can feel good about buying, and what games they should not be talked into bringing home.

As a parent, do you have the time (or will) to play through every game your child wants, and screen it? You don’t have to, Jorim already has–and it’s on his list: jorimslist.com.

Planet Mom is a wild and wonderful place where kids swing on ceiling fans, diapers appear four days later in the trunk, and children think bread is made out of deer (doe (dough)…a deer…a female deer).

Find out 99 true and amazing reasons why you should become a permanent resident of Planet Mom (or be thankful if you already are!). You’ll realize that you’re doing the most important job in the world…and the results are out of this world!

Together, Jill Hart and Cheryl Moeller are a dangerous and delightful team who share their real life experience.

I don’t know how most people do it, but when I brush my teeth I like to rinse using a cup. I prefer the little dixie paper cups because I can toss it and there’s no mess. As a mom, I love disposable items - no washing necessary. Sounds harmless enough, right? I thought so, until recently when my husband began giving me little “hints” about throwing away so many paper cups. He finally won me over when he explained that he and the guys at work had been discussing what they could do to be more ‘green’ and this was one of the ways they’d come up with.

Now that I knew my husband and ‘the guys’ were discussing the topic at work, I knew it was something I needed to take more seriously. As I began to take a look at our lifestyle I found many things that I could change to make our home a more eco-friendly place. I also realized that overall, working from home may be one of the best eco-friendly decision one can make.

We were making introductions at my college alumni dinner when I made a remark that embarrassed my wife.
  
To be more precise, it hurt her deeply.  As we drove home that night she explained her hurt to me.  There was no question about it - I needed to ask her forgiveness.  When I asked her to forgive me, she blinked back her tears, managed a smile, and then said, "I forgive you."  It was an act of pure mercy on her part.
 
She could have said, "OK, Bob, you did help clean the kitchen the other day. And you did take care of the kids for an hour while I went out.  So, all things considered, I guess I’ll let this one get by."  If she had forgiven me based on my merit, not her love, that would have been an act of justice, not mercy.
 
As married couples we can sometimes forget the difference between justice and mercy.  God Almighty does not treat us according to our wrongdoing, which would be justice.  Instead, He forgives according to our need - that’s mercy. We should offer the same to our spouse each day.
 
Jesus told us we’re to learn from God how to forgive.  The Cross satisfied God’s need for justice so God can now offer unlimited mercy. 

Will you let the Cross teach you how to give your wife the mercy she needs?

Well  we  have started  out  filling  out applications for  teaching   jobs  for my wife.   But,  of course,  we are also  seeking God’s will.  We  both  feel that we  are going somewhere. I  feel that  would be happy in Corsicana,  Texas. But,  we  will go will where God  sends  us.  We know that there is a 2nd grade position  there. I sure hope she can get it - the times we have passed through it looks like a nice town. As  for  me, wherever we go I will still continue  to run my business. I hope I can also run the Vending  machines there too.  Please  pray  for  us a  we  seek  Gods will.

Lately I have felt like a failure.  Not  because of  depression or anything, but because I have  been having trouble with a Siatic nerve.  I have  not been  able  to   keep house very  well.   But  it is getting much  better  thanks  to  12 B Vitimans a day  and  a little  bit of stretching.   I hope it  will  stop soon.

But, other things are going along just great.  We are still in  the process of seeking God’s will.  Next week we start looking for other towns to live in, and for  my wife to  teach in.  Anyway,  please continue to  pray for us.

We  owe God our Praise today.  Yestrerday my wife talked to  her principal.  At least the pressure is  off - kinda.  She has until NOV now.  But, we will still look into other school districts in Texas.  I  still feel that  we are going to move.   Only God knows  for  sure.  His  will be  done.  Please  continue to  pray  for us

This will probably be very short. I have a feeling that we will be moving from Kempner, TX and going to east TX. I don’t know why I feel this way, but for some reason I feel that it might be Tyler, TX. I just can’t explain it. How do I tell Sheila what I feel is what I don’t know how to do. Please keep us in your prayers. These are going to be tough times for us.
