I found the Texan/Mexican influence to be unique and with it's own appeal. Certainly the artistry and colors seen in the down town told one much about the people. <BR/>You have most likely been to many large cities like San Antonio. I'm glad to be a country girl, myself!<BR/>SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956432724055160611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142807195033513076.post-27622773973927870072008-04-09T21:11:00.000-07:002008-04-09T21:11:00.000-07:00I've enjoyed reading your daughter's blog of your ...I've enjoyed reading your daughter's blog of your trip to SanAntonio. My sister lives there and I have visited there a couple of times, most recently while on deputiation. The Riverwalk and Alamo are favorites. Of course, I had to go visit SAS shoes since my folks sell them...Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925478164178364396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142807195033513076.post-9689569912535278252008-04-09T12:36:00.000-07:002008-04-09T12:36:00.000-07:00Dear Sharon,Thank you so much for this wonderful p...Dear Sharon,<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for this wonderful post! I wish we could have attended this conference too! I love the vision they presented. What you said is so true, "that it is easy to rely on the Lord's soon return and fail to consider the fact that we are to occupy until He does return." This is just what my husband and I desire to do, to think about the generations to follow.<BR/><BR/>How interesting that Mr. Botkin was a Marxist before the Lord saved him, and that his experience gave him a unique perspective! Truly we are new creation in Christ. I appreciate you sharing that, and the fact that Marxists are in battle against us! <BR/><BR/>Indeed, I do need to take the fight more seriously. I pray for God to give us much needed wisdom in how to raise, train, and disciple our son, and to help us continually protect him from this culture. We must be diligent in guarding our homes and trust the Lord completely to enable us to raise our children for his glory, and they in turn raise their children for his glory and each generation after continuing to serve and glorify God!<BR/><BR/><BR/>We feel the same way about peer based grouping, and we wholeheartedly agree that God's way is for Father's to be responsible in bringing up their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, just as you stated. Yes, that is God's way, and you are so very right, it does not work any other way. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for encouraging me, that we need to take this seriously, that it is a full time job, and that we cannot do this without the Lord. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for recommending the message, "How to think like a Christian." I look forward to hearing that. <BR/><BR/>I have been really blessed and encouraged by the thoughts that you have shared. Thank you so much!<BR/>PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.com
